Happy International Women’s Day!

It’s not unusual for me to hear my daughter repeat phrases I say. She is observing everything I do. She’s taking note of my self-talk and how I treat my body.

Today let’s celebrate our bodies and all they have done for us! My body has supported me through so much over the past few years. What’s one thing you are grateful for your body for?

Merry Christmas from my family to yours! ❤️

Love our annual tradition of going to to see Santa and Mrs.Claus.

It’s time for some updated headshots! A lot has changed since I shared my last headshots, taken in 2021, but my passion for what I do remains the same.

Since starting my business in 2021, I have expanded my services from providing solely 1:1 nutrition sessions to nutrition presentations, nutrition writing, and partnerships.

I’m looking forward to an upcoming presentation at a school where I will be focusing on body image and your relationship with food. I LOVE working with kids and teenagers!

Anyways, which headshot do you think is the best?
1, 2 or 3?

I don’t always listen to my hunger cues. Does it surprise you that I said that? 

Personally, when I am stressed or anxious, I struggle with eating. My hunger cues tend to become blunted when I’m in a state of stress. In previous years, I would rush around during the day and then binge later in the evening. I would sometimes struggle with headaches, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating throughout the day. 

I have worked hard to recognize when I am feeling stressed or anxious and have adequate nutrition. When I notice I’m feeling ultra-stressed, I try to schedule meals. The meals are often nothing special but keep me adequately fueled. If I’m very busy or having a hard time tolerating foods, I will carry a high-calorie nutritional supplement with me. 

When I meet with client’s hunger cues is often a part of our nutritional counselling sessions. It’s essential that I take an individualized approach to your nutrition, as your situation is unique. Coming from a place of curiosity and no judgment is also so important.

There are several reasons why you may not feel hunger cues. A few reasons may be:

- If you are under a lot of stress, this may affect your hunger cues.
- A recent loss can drastically affect hunger cues. 
- Perhaps you’ve been on many diets throughout the years. 
- If you are recovering from an eating disorder.

Do you find that stress affects your hunger cues? Have you ever struggled with hunger cues?

I would love to help you with any struggles you may be having with hunger cues and improving your relationship with food. Please reach out to me in my DMs or email, and we can chat about how I can further support you.

It is with profound sadness that I share the passing of my mom, Beverly Martin, on November 17, 2023. For the past 15 years, my mom has been courageously fighting breast cancer. 

Until we meet again, our memories will keep playing in my mind on repeat. She loved deeply and taught me the importance of kindness. She was the strongest person I know.

My mom was so encouraging of me being an entrepreneur. She was so proud of me for pursuing my dreams of having a private practice. She was always the first to like my posts and comment on my stories. She was such a huge cheerleader of mine and always pushed me to be the best version of myself.

I am grateful for the time we were able to say our goodbyes. Every day, she fought so hard to stay with us. I know you are no longer in pain and are watching over us.
🙏🏻💕

Thank you, for helping my sister and I to have this last memory with my mom at the hospital. I love the bracelets the 3 of us share and will cherish my bracelet forever.

Some recent moments of happiness….

I have anticipated moments like this for years with my little family. I appreciate the smallest moments the most. Whether it be going for a walk in our neighbourhood, blowing bubbles in our backyard or reading books before bed.

Some of our recent highlights:

- Our 8th wedding anniversary
- Anne finishing kindergarten
- Anne’s 6th birthday
- Noah’s first trip to the beach and strawberry picking

I’m loving this time with my family. At the same time I would be lying to you if I said this time didn’t give me moments of being overwhelmed. Trying to accept that it’s ok if the house is chaos sometimes (ok a lot of the time) and things do not need to be perfect.

I would go through all of the heartaches and challenges again to meet you.

This is one of my favourite blog posts that I’ve worked on with Nüton dietitians.

Oral health is such an important topic to discuss with kids. Approaching oral health without diet culture can be tricky. Diet culture tends to easily sneak its way into our messages. This post provides some great tips for approaching oral health without diet culture.

I would love to know your thoughts on this post. 💕

I’ve thought about how and if I want to share this post for a long time.

My husband and I are very excited to announce that I am expecting in February 2023.

We have been on this journey for quite some time now. Dealing with infertility was the hardest thing I have personally had to go through. There were times when it made me question everything and I felt extremely isolated.

I’ve undergone many fertility treatments in the last couple of years. I started on my IVF journey a little over a year ago. The process became very life consuming emotionally, physically, and financially.

Reading other peoples fertility stories helped me get through difficult times. It made me feel less alone in a time that I felt very alone. One in six couples in Canada struggles with infertility. I’m hoping that this post brings more awareness to infertility and maybe gives people hope or comfort that they’re not alone!

This journey has been very challenging and I couldn’t have gotten through it without the support of my husband. 💕 I also want to thank , and the team at Heartland Clinic for their support.

Supporting kids relationship with food can seem overwhelming, especially if you struggle with your own relationship with food.

This is a great resource if you’re looking to for more information on how to help kids have food and body confidence. There is so much great information to unpack.

The language used is very non-judgemental and open. This book gave some great insight how to help kids become intuitive eaters. I appreciated how the book broke down the different age categories and how we can best support kiddos at different ages.

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is rest.

You may have noticed I’ve been pretty quiet on her the past month or so. I’ve been prioritizing my mental health and focusing on doing things that bring me joy.

Sometimes that means going for a walk with just myself and our dog. It might also look like going to bed at 8:30. Other times it looks like fitting in some yoga or a workout with .

Rest is something that I used to struggle with. I would have feelings of guilt as I would be trying to relax. My thoughts would automatically go to thinking about what I should be doing and creating lists.

Intuitive Eating has helped me not just with my relationship with food but having more respect and appreciation for my body. I’ve really worked on giving myself permission to rest. We all deserve down time and time to be with ourselves.

Do you struggle with allowing yourself permission to rest and recharge?
