The Welcare Centre for Health and Nutrition

 

Food choices play a crucial role in our health but access to straightforward and credible information is difficult to find. Social media is full of misinformation from non-regulated nutrition influencers whose advice can be harmful and confusing. This dietary advice often includes costly supplements and highly restrictive diets.
Many of the health conditions we face are impacted by our food choices. Food choices are made with the best intentions, however, can be influenced by factors including convenience, taste preferences, cost, and available knowledge. Positive changes to our diet can work preventatively or synergistically with other health behaviours to improve disease status.

To support your dietary health The Welcare Centre for Health and Nutrition is offering registered dietitian services. Working with you in partnership, the dietitian will provide personalized and supportive evidence-based nutrition counseling to help you achieve your health goals.

How Does This Program Work?

I am excited for you to take your next step along your health journey! This program is a three-part series with the option to extend. When collaborating with patients, my aim is that all clients feel heard, understood, and respected, and therefore to provide you with the most positive experience possible.

​

 

Session 1: Intake Assessment - 1 hour long

Before coming to our session, I will have you fill out and email me a 1-page form telling me a little bit about your health and why you are here. These questions are designed so that I gain a more holistic picture of where you are at right now and where you would like to be. In our first session we will get to know each other and review this information together.

​

Session 2: Goal Generation - 45 minutes long

The next time we meet, we will co-create realistic and sustainable goals to improve your health. We will discover your “WHY” for creating and following through with what you want to accomplish and break down this goal into smaller, achievable steps. I will also embed nutrition education throughout our session so you feel empowered and confident implementing your new habits.

​

 

Session 3: Follow-Up - 45 minutes long

In our final session of the three-part series, we will check-in on your progress and adjust as needed. Did you find the changes more difficult than you anticipated? What feelings came up as you tried to implement them? Let’s problem solve together to find solutions that work for your body and your lifestyle. If you feel as though you would benefit from ongoing nutrition care, I would be more than happy to support you.
