​

When I launched my career as The Mental Health Nutritionist in 2017, I was  primarily based online working with clients across all across North America. 

My practice was rooted within a genuine belief that our mental health and physical health are not separate systems and treating them as if they are is one of the main reasons people stay stuck. As a practitioner with high professional and ethical standards I stayed within my nutritional counselling lane highly aware of the benefits a client could experience through psychotherapy work.

After continued encouragement from clients, colleagues, and loved ones, I completed my Masters in Clinical Counselling. In May 2025 I began working with clients in a psychotherapy capacity and maintaining a distinct difference between my nutrition and therapy clients throughout my clinical internship as I familiarized myself with how the two realms could be best integrated.

​

While operating my nutrition practice, working through my Masters, and loving on my three incredible kids - all who are taller than me now - my husband Nick and I took a leap of faith in each other, and our long awaited business plan, to launch Niilo Wellness, a counselling and therapy clinic in Guelph, Ontario. The first session at Niilo Wellness in May 2024 was a Nutrition Counselling session and since then our community of therapists have expanded our service offerings to support the diverse needs of our local Guelph community and all across Ontario through online sessions.

​

I co-founded Niilo Wellness because I wanted a clinical home that reflected my belief that people deserve whole-person care and a highly supported practitioner is one that can provide highest quality of client care.

 

My clients typically come to me after trying a few things that didn't quite fit. They're intelligent, self-aware, and tired of surface-level advice and are looking for someone who will actually take the time to understand their whole picture; and who has the skills to help put the pieces together.
 

As a Nutritionist, I'm not going to give you a meal plan to follow. I'm going to help you understand your own body well enough that you can trust yourself.

As a Psychotherapist, I aim to help clients feel understood and empowered to nurture healthy relationships with themselves and others.​​

​

In both realms I work from an inclusive, Healthy At Every Size (HAES)-aligned, trauma-informed perspective meeting clients where they are and supporting them towards where they want to be.
