I'm Colleen (she/her) and completed both a Bachelor of Arts and Science (BASc) and Masters of Health Science (MHSc) in Nutrition Communications at Toronto Metropolitan (formerly Ryerson) University in Toronto, Ontario.

 

I completed a dietetic internship in a hospital setting where I launched my career as a Registered Dietitian, staying on as clinical staff. I gained clinical experience in the hospital setting working with patients living with cancer, undergoing surgery, struggling with gastrointestinal disorders and/or facing other acute health issues. It's here I realized there was a huge gap for patients when they go home after being in hospital. On their road to recovery with many answered questions about what they can eat.

​

I then moved on from my clinical experience to an opportunity to gain and share my more in depth food knowledge and appreciation while working as a retail dietitian. This allowed me to combine the clinical world of nutrition with real world application outside of the hospital walls.

​

In 2024 my private practice celebrates it's 10th birthday! Ten years of supporting clients with digestive health issues. Whether fresh out of hospital with a new diagnosis or after years of struggling on their own - I'm there for my clients and support them as they navigate their real world. 

 

I consider myself lucky to divide my time between working in my private practice, part time lecturing at TMU and working a couple days a week at hospital in Toronto. My hospital role is a unique and dynamic leadership role that keeps me connected to clinical. I love the variety in my career and believe the diversity in my work makes me a well balanced dietitian and gut health coach.
