You do not need a referral to unravel the nutrition confusion. However, if you do have a doctor referral, the office can send labs and consultation reports that can help make clinical nutrition recommendations. Your doctor can use the forms found here to make a referral, or fax/email supporting medical information for the purposes of making a nutrition diagnosis and care plan.

Your dietitain can talk to your doctor only if you give your permission to do so by completing this release of information form.

When working with couples, we focus the appointment on the person with the most pressing nutritional concerns. However, all recommendations given considers all family members involved. When booking as a couple please book a 45-minute appointment back-to-back with a 25-minute follow-up to ensure there is enough time. The cost of this appointment is $200. If covered by insurance this will be billed out as $100 each.

Only some plans cover Registered Dietitians. Appointments with registered dietitains are covered by some extended health plans in British Columbia. Check with your insurance company to see if you can make a claim.  

If you complete the Short Intake Form, at least 48 hours prior to the service time, we will seek information from your insurance company regarding coverage, and if permitted by your insurance company, we will make the claim for you.

Dietitian is a protected title across Canada, just like physician, nurse and pharmacist. Nutritionist is a protected title in Alberta, Quebec and Nova Scotia. 

Dietitians have a degree in foods and nutrition from an accredited university program and undergo comprehensive and rigorous training, both on the job and in universities. Additionally, Dietitians are required to complete additional training and to stay on top of emerging research, skills, and techniques.

Dietitians are accountable to provincial regulatory bodies for the highest standards of education and ethics. 

Individual appointments are available for residents of British Columbia. 

Residents of other provinces are not able to book an individual appointment, but are welcome to join group courses and programs. 

During your firs appointment, we will review the information you have provided, as well as review your current lifestyle habits, dietary preferences and health concerns. Together we will establish a nutritional plan that suits your lifestyle and nutritional goals.
