About Me

Meet Vida

Welcome! So excited that you are here! Let's explore how I can support you on your health journey.

I am a Registered Holistic Nutritionist (R.H.N.) specializing in the gut brain axis where I focus on digestive and mental health. I work with you to identify your unique health imbalances, and help to rebalance your body systems through customized evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle protocols. These tailored protocols address your unique health concerns and combat your unwanted symptoms helping you regain your health.

As an instructor at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition (Distance Education), I teach Fundamentals of Business, Nutritional Symptomatology, and Advanced Pediatrics & Legal Considerations. I am passionate about health and wellness, and I am dedicated to sharing my expertise with students. I value and enjoy the opportunity to support and inspire them on their journey towards achieving their goals in the field of nutrition.

As well, being a licensed lawyer in Ontario and Alberta, I am committed to empowering clients to become strong advocates for their health and I am passionate about educating them on the interconnectivity of their body systems.

Did You Know...

It all starts with your gut?

Your digestive health is connected to all other body systems.

Your digestive system requires proper nourishment and balancing so that all body systems are functioning at their highest possible capability.

Without proper gut health, it is inevitable that all body systems will suffer, and symptoms beyond digestive discomforts will appear that deter you from living the life that you want.

My Approach

Personalized Wellness Plans Just for You

I take a personalized approach to nutrition and believe that there is not a one size fits all solution to health.
We are all biochemically unique and have different backgrounds, needs, wants, and desires.
You are beautifully unique and therefore deserve and need a customized approach to effectively help you tackle your health concerns.

You Are Unique

Once we discover your unique imbalances and nutritional needs, your body starts to respond to the changes you implement and your unwanted symptoms slowly begin to disappear.
Your body communicates through symptoms, and together, we will decode these signals, uncover imbalances, and address them with nourishing foods and supportive lifestyle habits.
By supporting the necessary body systems, you will be able to optimize your health and begin to feel more in control of your health and overall life.

Working Together

I believe in a collaborative approach to health and work alongside other healthcare practitioners.
I believe each healthcare practitioner is educated and trained in their scope of expertise and can be supportive towards your health journey.
You have more power than you think, and your voice is an essential part of the journey, I want to hear from you every step of the way!
Your active involvement in putting the protocols into action has a powerful impact.
