My Approach as a Registered Holistic Nutritionist

As a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and Lifestyle Coach in Ontario, I strive every day to help my clients lead a healthier, more active and vibrant lifestyle. My goal is to provide my clients with the nutritional knowledge and tools necessary to create a healthy balanced diet and a state of overall wellbeing. I also work every day to ensure that my clients are focused, happy and on track to reach their weight loss and overall health goals.

I recognize that each and every person that I work with is unique, and that they all have very different needs. Through an in depth initial assessment followed by daily contact and support, we work together to create a healthy balanced diet that my clients will enjoy and be able to maintain long term. It’s this daily communication that is the key to my clients success, as they are held accountable each and every day for the choices that they make!

By providing my clients with the knowledge and tips necessary to improve their health and to reach their personal goals, my clients soon become their own expert and are capable of continuing independently with their journey to better health and happiness. If you’re looking to lose weight, improve your overall health/lifestyle and discover a new healthier you, thrive has a customized program just for you!

 
Steph really listens to your goals and works with you to achieve them. Whether it is gaining more energy by shifting your habits slightly, maintaining milk supply after pregnancy, or losing weight, she is knowledgeable and very keen to check-in to see how you are doing. She is so encouraging, and helps motivate you every step of the way. It is amazing how quickly your habits can change with the support of Steph! I have lost 22 pounds in 10 weeks and feel fantastic! Don’t hesitate to contact her if you are thinking of making a positive change!

about steph

I have been very passionate about nutrition, health and fitness for many years and I have made it a priority to incorporate this into my own life, both personally and professionally. Attending the University of Guelph, I obtained an Honours Bachelor of Science in Human Kinetics, which gave me a strong understanding of human anatomy, physiology as well as nutrition. My interest in the human body, health and nutrition, along with my need to help people achieve their personal health goals, encouraged me to expand my knowledge and expertise in these areas.

To further my education and knowledge in the area of Nutrition, I obtained a Registered Holistic Nutritionist designation from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition (CSNN) and have since been helping people of all ages change their lifestyle in order to reach and maintain their personal weight loss and overall health goals. I have also become a Registered Kinesiologist with the College of Kinesiologists of Ontario (inactive status).

As a health and wellness enthusiast, I have been in the industry for over 15 years and have experience in many areas including personal training, fitness consulting, natural health products and supplementation, kinesiology and nutritional counselling. I know what it takes to set and achieve personal goals and how to maintain a healthy lifestyle and I would love to help you change your life!

We absolutely loved working with Stephanie! She provided us with great menu suggestions and was available 24/7 to answer our questions about eating out at restaurants, grocery shopping and recipe ideas. This was a great experience, we did not feel deprived at all, in fact we both felt empowered and enjoyed eating many of the new things we were trying.

Thanks to Stephanie’s knowledge and motivation, in one month I lost 10.8 lbs. and 7 inches, and my husband lost 13 lbs. and 6 inches. What’s even better is that this really has been a lifestyle change for us and we have managed to maintain our weight loss for the last month on our own. We are recommending Stephanie’s services to all our friends and family as this truly is the best way to lose weight and maintain your health and wellness.
