Question 1

Can I just call your office to ask some initial questions?

Accepted Answer

You are always welcome to call, but I am not always able to answer or return calls quickly.

If you have questions beyond those answered on this page, I strongly encourage you to book a complimentary 15-minute Discovery Call through the Booking page of this website or by using the button linked at the bottom of this page.

This allows me to give you my full attention at a dedicated time and better focus on your specific needs.

Question 2

Do you work with adults as well as children?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely!

Question 3

Do you work with seniors?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! There are some unique digestive differences for seniors, and I am experienced in adapting my approach to ensure better outcomes for this population.

Question 4

Do you see clients in-person?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as long as you are in the Vancouver area, I am happy to come for a house-call appointment.

Question 5

Do you work with clients remotely or long distance?

Accepted Answer

All the time. Zoom is a very helpful tool!

Question 6

Do you work with clients who are taking medications?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I always check for contraindications between my proposed recommendations and existing medications to ensure safety.

Question 7

Do you incorporate genetic testing?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I can integrate the results of genetic testing into your recommendations.

Question 8

Do you work with blood test results?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I welcome clients to share recent bloodwork or other testing they have done with medical practitioners. This information can be valuable to help identify or confirm suspected nutrient deficiencies and immune challenges.

Question 9

Do you use supplements?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I will provide all clients with specific supplement recommendations based on symptoms, deficiencies, and existing test results. Supplementation for children and seniors will consider their unique needs (e.g. liquids / powders). When clients are already using supplementation, I will advise on their current protocol, and augment with any necessary additions.

Question 10

Will my insurance over your services?

Accepted Answer

Plans vary, so please check that your plan's wording includes coverage specifically for "nutritionist".

Question 11

Does BC Autism Funding cover your services?

Accepted Answer

Sadly, it does not. Homeschooling families are often able to devote a portion of their homeschool funding to a nutrition consultation/education appointment.

Question 12

How long do most of your clients follow the GAPS Diet protocol for?

Accepted Answer

That depends. I have some clients who are ready to move beyond the GAPS Diet after a few months, and others who choose to stay on a variation of the protocol for many years, because it continues to provide benefit.
