about me
Hi, I'm Marnie!
I'm a Registered Dietitian (RD).
I help my clients to incorporate simple, sustainable changes in their diet that lead to big changes in their health and quality of life. I work with clients who are preparing for bariatric surgery, have had bariatric surgery, those who don’t qualify and those who are on the fence about it!
My interest areas include diabetes management and PCOS. My passion is helping women who are planning to start a family, improve their fertility and have the healthiest pregnancy possible.
My approach includes an “all foods fit” philosophy, while empowering you to understand why you would benefit from choosing some foods over others. I respect your likes, dislikes, budget and food skills to create an individualized plan that works for you and gets you the results you want.

• Bachelor's in Science, Foods & Nutrition (BScFN) from Western University (Brescia University College)
• Master's of Applied Nutrition (MAN) from The University of Guelph
• Craving Change™ certified facilitator
• Member of the College of Dietitians of Ontario in good standing
