A holistic nutritionist deeply understands that one’s state of health is influenced by many factors including your body, mind, emotions, and environment. The completion of an in-depth assessment allows us to recommend interventions that will help correct the imbalances in the body and address the root cause as opposed to only addressing the symptom. There is no cookie cutter approach here, every person is different and as such every plan we create is different.

At Quiet Moments Wellness, we honor and respect the deep relationship that people have with food and eating. It is not always as simple as placing a certain food in your mouth, there is a lot of psychology behind eating. By understanding this we can provide recommendations and work with you in a way where you are “seen” for who you really are. Stress eating, emotional eating, habitual eating, disordered eating, shame and guilt around certain food, body image, using food as a reward, viewing exercise as a consequence of eating certain foods, the strong need to “burn off” a piece of cake, the need to exercise harder to “earn” a certain food  - this goes beyond what we eat and cross into WHY we eat the way we eat.  These need to gently be worked with so that sustainable change that feels good and SAFE to the person can be made.

We do work with sleep - and we support sleep for teenagers and adults through nutrition, lifestyle, physical activity, stress management and emotional wellness - all aspects of holistic nutrition. Not only will sleep improve, but overall wellness will also. You truly can move out of surviving into thriving with the right approach and manageable steps that fit who you are and what you can reasonably handle.
