1:1 Nutrition Counselling
Personalized nutrition support for the season you're actually in.
Nutrition can get complicated, especially when life and health don't stay the same.
Sometimes the information is already there, but figuring out how to apply it to a changing body, a busy season, a complicated relationship with food, or simply a different set of needs can be much harder.
That's where individualized support can help.
1:1 nutrition counselling offers space to slow things down, make sense of what's going on, and focus on the areas that would be most useful to work through. Depending on the reason for seeking support, that might include food and nourishment, eating and body image, postpartum changes, women's health, or eating disorder recovery.
Virtual nutrition counselling is available to eligible Ontario residents.
Areas of Support
The areas below describe the kinds of concerns I commonly support. Your care is always shaped around your individual circumstances rather than a standard program or formula.
Disordered Eating &
Eating Disorder Recovery
Nutrition can be an important part of eating disorder recovery, alongside appropriate medical and mental health care.
I provide outpatient nutrition support for adults and young adults 18+ who are medically stable for outpatient care and whose needs are appropriate for virtual nutrition counselling.
Depending on your circumstances, our work may include nutritional rehabilitation, establishing more consistent nourishment, expanding food flexibility, reducing fear and rigidity around eating, and developing recovery skills.
I collaborate with your physician or nurse practitioner and licensed mental health clinician when indicated, so nutrition care can be part of a coordinated treatment approach.
Support may include eating disorder and disordered eating concerns such as Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, OSFED, and orthorexia-related concerns, depending on your individual circumstances and scope of outpatient care.
If your needs fall outside what can be safely supported through virtual outpatient nutrition counselling, we'll discuss what additional or different level of care may be appropriate.
Intuitive Eating & Food and Body Trust
For some women, intuitive eating means reconnecting with hunger, fullness, and satisfaction. For others, it may involve loosening long-held food rules, developing greater flexibility, or learning to make nutrition decisions without relying entirely on external rules.
Together, we can explore a more trusting relationship with food while still making space for evidence-based nutrition, health needs, and your individual circumstances.
Perinatal & Women's Health Nutrition
Pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood, and the years beyond can bring changes in your body, energy, routines, relationship with food, and nutritional needs.
Nutrition support may include postpartum nourishment, regular eating, changes in appetite or energy, body image, and sustainable nutrition habits as your needs evolve.
Motherhood may be where many women first seek support, but the work can continue well beyond the postpartum years.
What Working Together Looks Like
1. Start with an Alignment Call
The first step is a free 20-minute Alignment Call.
We'll talk about what's bringing you here, what you're hoping for, and whether my approach and scope of practice are a good fit for your needs.
2. Begin with an Initial Session
If we decide to work together, your initial nutrition counselling session is 60 minutes.
We'll review your health history, nutrition patterns, relationship with food and your body, current circumstances, and goals. From there, we'll identify priorities and develop an individualized approach.
3. Continue with Personalized Nutrition Care
Ongoing sessions are typically 45 minutes and may take place weekly or bi-weekly depending on your needs and the type of support you're receiving.
Sessions may include practical nutrition strategies, education, reflection, skill-building, resources, and collaboration with other members of your healthcare team when appropriate.
We'll regularly revisit your needs and adjust your care as things change.
FAQs
Are meal plans included?
I don't provide strict or prescriptive meal plans as a standard approach.
Instead, we'll develop practical meal ideas, nutrition strategies, and flexible structure that make sense for your needs and circumstances. For some clients, more structure is supportive. For others, flexibility is an important part of the work.
What can I expect from sessions with Julie?
Sessions are collaborative and individualized. Depending on your needs, we may talk about nutrition, eating patterns, body image, hunger and fullness cues, food fears or rules, postpartum changes, energy, lifestyle rhythms, or other factors affecting your relationship with food and wellbeing.
For clients working through disordered eating or eating disorder recovery, the pace and structure of care will be guided by individual needs and the broader treatment plan.
How often will we meet?
This depends on the type of support you're receiving and what is clinically appropriate for you.
Weekly or bi-weekly sessions may be recommended depending on your needs, goals, and stage of care. Frequency can be revisited as your needs change.
What kind of support is available between sessions?
Depending on your service arrangement, secure messaging can provide a place to ask questions, share reflections, or follow up on things that arise between appointments.
Personal health information is handled through the secure systems and processes used within the practice.
