I never had any interest in becoming a vegetarian or a vegan. Then I met my would-be husband in 2016, and he’s a vegetarian (on moral grounds). I swore I would not become a vegetarian because being gluten-free is hard enough! Fast-forward 10 years: 3 kids, and 90% of our diet is vegetarian!

Truthfully, it’s just easier to make one dinner everyone can eat. I am the primary chef at home, and while I occasionally get myself some chicken, or serve fish for my bougie son and I, most of our dinners at home are centred around either Beyond Meat, tofu, eggs and/or beans as the protein. I love to cook and experiment with food, so I have learned lots of tricks over the years for making tofu delicious and incorporating beans into almost anything. The kids don’t know any different, and they will eat tofu as readily as chicken drumsticks.

And if my husband were NOT a vegetarian, we would likely still eat this way right now, because groceries are beyond expensive. Tofu and beans are very cheap, filling, and healthy. With the right techniques and recipes, they’re just as good, if not better than, any meat. I know a lot of parents in the same boat right now, going to the store to see a regular, modestly sized roast costing $40… when it used to be a weekend dinner staple. Plant-based is just more cost-effective!

Personable, relatable, educational and solution-driven. If I see a problem, I’m going to want to find the answer. So if there’s something I don’t know, I can’t leave it at that. I’m going to do the research, find the evidence-based approach if there is one, and share what I learned. And if I can’t, I will ask for help!

My work in the past 12 years has been centred around food safety and education. As a health inspector, I not only pointed out what was wrong/unsanitary/not up to code, but also explained the science behind it. That always went over better with customers than just telling them what was wrong. When I teach food handling classes, I explain the rules and the reason for the rules, in a way that most people can understand. 

I took this same approach when I wrote and self-published a book (“Digestible Nutrition”) back in 2015 or so, explaining how the body works/uses food, where it all goes, why fiber is important, why hydration matters, etc. I think I only sold 8 copies, but those were 8 very positive reviews! 

Yes, we create personalized meal plans with you using the That Clean Life and Nutrium apps. You will receive your meal right after the session. We ask that you do an initial assessment before creating the meal plan, this is necessary as we are dietitians and need to ensure that we know your goals, medical history, current intake, and preferences before making any recommendations.

Cancellation Policy

We understand that circumstances may arise that require you to cancel or reschedule your session, and we aim to provide a transparent cancellation policy. Please review the following guidelines:

Cancellation Notice:

• • We kindly request that clients provide a minimum of 24 hours’ notice before the scheduled session if they need to cancel or reschedule.

Cancellation Fees:

• • If a client cancels a session with less than 24 hours’ notice or fails to attend a scheduled session without prior notice, a cancellation fee of 100% of the session fee will be charged. This fee is necessary because we are often unable to fill the vacant spot on short notice, resulting in lost opportunities for others.

Reminder Notifications:

• • To help you remember your upcoming sessions, we provide text and email reminders prior to your meeting. These notifications serve as a helpful reminder and offer a convenient way to confirm, cancel, or reschedule your appointment.

Cancellation and Rescheduling:

• • Clients have the option to manage their appointments through their client portal. This allows for easy cancellation or rescheduling of sessions at your convenience. We encourage you to use this feature if your plans change.

Our goal is to provide quality service to all our clients while respecting everyone’s time. By adhering to this cancellation policy, you help us maintain a fair and efficient scheduling system. If you have any questions or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to our team. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
