Hi, I’m Valerie! I’m a Registered Associate and Holistic Nutritionist with a Master’s in Nutrition & Behaviour Change. I specialize in helping to eliminate chronic digestive issues through a blend of functional testing, evidence-based nutrition, supplementation, herbs, and a deep understanding of the psychology behind our relationship with food.
Every day, I help people overcome food sensitivities, eliminate IBS, reduce bloating, and improve energy and mood. I empower my clients with the knowledge to make confident food choices and guide them in transforming how they think and feel about food.
Your digestive health and overall well-being are about more than just what’s on your plate – it’s about finding out what’s going on underneath it all (e.g., gut infections, bacterial issues, mineral issues) and what maintains those symptoms (e.g., chronic stress, undereating, etc,), so we can remedy those issues and create a life WITH all the foods, and WITHOUT all the symptoms.
I offer a free 15-minute call to discuss how I can help, or you can book a package of appointments (in-person/virtual) if you’re ready to get started!

Functional Stool Sample Testing (GI MAP):
The GI-MAP® (Microbial Assay Plus) is a comprehensive stool test that relies on quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology to detect parasites, bacteria, H. pylori, fungi, and more by targeting the specific DNA of the organisms tested.
This in-depth stool analysis offers insights into both acute and chronic digestive, skin, hormonal, and energy concerns. It examines your entire microbiome—both beneficial bacteria and potential gut infections—while also assessing gut function, including enzyme activity, gluten response, liver and gallbladder function, inflammation levels, and more.
It is specifically helpful for those with:— food sensitivities
— gas/bloating
— IBS/IBD
— constipation/diarrhea
— fatigue
— acne / rosacea / eczema
— brain fog
— autoimmune conditions
— anxiety/depression
Please note: the GI MAP can only be used in a package of appointments (no one-off appointments).
