You’ve tried the diets. The supplements. The advice from doctors who say your labs are “normal”… but you still don’t feel like yourself.
That’s where I come in.
Hi, I’m Veronica, Your Ottawa Dietitian.
I’m a Registered Dietitian, busy Type A mom of two boys, and a woman who’s walked through many of the same struggles you might be facing: fertility challenges, miscarriage, postpartum depression, picky eaters, midlife weight changes, decreased energy, and feeling like my body no longer worked the way it used to.
Like so many women, I tried it all …detoxes, fad diets, expensive supplements, meditation, and none of it gave me the lasting results I needed.
I live in Orleans and work with women across Ottawa, including Nepean, Kanata, Barrhaven, Navan and surrounding areas. Whether we meet in person or virtually, my goal is to help women in our community feel stronger, healthier, and more in control of their health.
My Nutrition Approach for Women
No restrictive diets, and cutting out entire food groups
No copy and paste handouts that will collect dust
No complicated recipes with 15 specialty ingredients
Simple, delicious meals with foods you already have in your house
Clear, proven strategies that work with your life (not against it)
Support that makes you feel respected, heard, and understood
When we work together, here’s what you’ll gain:
- Energy to get through your day without crashing at 3 pm
- Confidence in your food choices, no more second-guessing
- Peace of mind knowing your health is supported
- A way of eating that feels natural, not restrictive
- Feeling like yourself again … in your body, in your life
Diabetes and nutrition support you can count on
I’ve been recognized as one of the top 9 Diabetes Dietitians in Canada and featured on Ottawa’s “Best Dietitian” list. I hold a Diabetes Educator Certification and have worked with organizations like Diabetes Canada and the Canadian Cardiovascular Society.
You may have seen my quotes in outlets such as Eating Well, Health.com, Lose It!, Business Insider, Forbes, and Medical News Today. My recipes have been featured by Wild Blueberry Assocation, Soy Connection, and Egg Farmers of Canada. I’ve also appeared on CTV Ottawa’s Morning Show and at ByWard Market events.
More about Veronica
I’m also the owner of The Heart Dietitian, a trusted online resource for individuals trying to lower cholesterol, blood pressure, and prevent a heart attack, reaching thousands worldwide. I’ve written a cookbook “Easy Steps To Lower Cholesterol: The Portfolio Diet Action Plan & Recipe Book”, with a 4.8 star rating on Amazon, and sold over 600 copies as well as created a supplemental “Food Journal To Lower Cholesterol.”
While working with individuals trying to lower cholesterol and blood pressure, I noticed that middle aged women are underserved, and bombarded with confusing advice. My mission is to make your health journey simpler, practical, and doable.
Some fun facts about me:
– I love wearing socks with sandals (to my family’s horror 😅)
– I’ve traveled to 13 countries and love exploring new cuisines
– My all time favorite treat is Dairy Queen ice cream cake, and I enjoy it every birthday 🎂
