We approach nutrition counseling with a holistic mindset; keeping in mind that food is much more than just fuel. Food is culture, it is creation, it is social and sometimes it is comfort.

Our experience Registered Dietitian translates evidence-based nutrition recommendations into practical eating strategies to help people turn their nutrition goals into sustainable changes. At Seva Physiotherapy we have an ‘anti diet’ approach to dietetics and instead focus on the healthy relationships with all foods and honouring your internal body cues.
