Your mental health + your physical symptoms are not separate issues.
Most clients reach out after trying one thing after the other, often missing therapy without nutrition, or nutrition without exploring what's underneath. I work at the intersection of both, which is where lasting change tends to happen.

THE MENTAL HEALTH NUTRITIONIST APPROACH
Support so you can see more of the pieces + patterns.
Change is harder when you're only looking at half the picture.
You may have already tried several diets or new routines, supplements or medications, even a great therapist.
Yet maybe you haven't had the support to help you understand how to nurture your complete self.
ANXIETY
+ Identity
ENERGY
+ Focus
DIGESTION
+ Mood
HORMONES
+ Emotions
TRAUMA
Mind + Body
ADHD
+ Self-Care
MOOD
+ Confidence
IDENTITY
+ Relationships
SLEEP
+ Energy
There's a reason to why changing what you eat can shift your mood, or that a difficult conversation can throw off your digestion for the rest of the day. Your nervous system, your gut, your hormones, and your thoughts are all in constant conversation with one another.
Your Mental Health is impacted by how you're feeling Physically, & vice versa.
You may also be struggling with:
-
Digestive Health: Allergies, Food Sensitivities, Disordered Eating, Digestive Disorders
-
Hormonal Health: PMS, Painful Periods, Low Libido, Infertility & Reproductive Health
-
Physical Pain: Fatigue, Muscle Pain, Migraines
- Or if your primary symptoms relate to your Mental Health: Anxiety, Depression, ADHD...
Experiencing any one of these symptoms means it's time to reach out for support!
I'm a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). I hold both credentials because the depth of my client work often requires both lenses. Depending on what you're navigating, we might focus on nutrition, on therapy, or on both working integratively
My approach is an honest one.
One that is evidence-based, non-judgemental, compassionate and direct.
As a result clients are all the more able to nurture self-understanding, see progress, and create lasting change.

COMMON THERAPY AND NUTRITION QUESTIONS
Questions I hear often
_____________________________
Are Nutrition Counselling Sessions covered by health benefits?
It depends on your specific plan. If your plan includes coverage for a Nutritionist or Registered Holistic Nutritionist (RHN), you can submit for reimbursement. RHN coverage is different from Dietitian coverage — check with your provider. I issue receipts under Naomi Law, RHN.
_____________________________
Do I need to follow a meal plan?
That is entirely up to you you, but no, I don't create meal plans. Instead, I help you understand your own body well enough to make informed, intuitive choices. We work with real foods you actually like, in a way that fits your actual life. No calorie counting, no food scales.
_____________________________
Can I work with you exclusively online?
For Nutrition Counselling, yes, virtual appointments are available to clients all across Canada. Individual and couples therapy sessions are available online to clients across Ontario although most sessions are offered In-person at Niilo Wellness in Guelph.
_____________________________
What if I am unsure if I need therapy or nutrition counselling?
That's actually a really common starting point. Reach out through Niilo Wellness and we'll have an honest conversation about what makes the most sense for what you're currently experiencing. There's no wrong answer.
_____________________________
I have an irregular schedule. Can you accommodate that?
Yes. Every nutrition protocol I create is specific to the individual and built around your actual lifestyle, including irregular hours. I'll also help you understand which symptoms might be related to your schedule, and what adjustments may be realistic given your constraints. As for appointment times, I offer a mix of day and evening session times typically Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.
_____________________________
Do you work mostly with women?
While much of my experience has been with women navigating hormonal health, anxiety, and diet culture, I work with people of all genders, particularly for concerns like ADHD, anxiety, digestion, and emotional eating.
