Hi, I’m Melanie
I eat what I love and I love what I eat.
I love to eat and make tasty and nutritious foods while enjoying treats in moderation.
I love sharing nutrition tips and recipes for improving your gut, liver, heart and mental health.
I have overcome food preoccupation and times of restricted eating and overeating.
I am reducing mindless eating out of boredom or procrastination with tools and strategies I teach in my programs.
Early on in my career, I noticed that many of clients that struggle with weight identified an underlying problem with eating for stress and emotional reasons.
In the first few appointments we implement what to eat, when, where and how…but then I realized we need to dig deeper. We need to discover the root cause of their eating problem so that they can actually change their eating habits.
My clients are more successful when they realize their big “Why” of eating. We can then discuss behaviour change strategies so that they can actually change their eating!
My passion is to help people like you to understand Why, What, When, Where and How we eat matters.
I help men and women transform their relationship with food so that they can lose unwanted weight and feel comfortable in their clothes, without weight loss medications, dieting or giving up chocolate!
Home is where my heart is, nurturing three children with gardening, cooking, baking, Bible reading and outdoor activities.
You may see me walking or cycling down the Peace country roads or swimming and skating with my children in the community.
My favourite activities are mountain biking and wake surfing in the summer or snowmobiling and skiing in the winter with my husband and kids.

Credentials & Experience
After completing a bachelor’s degree in Human Nutritional Sciences at the University of Manitoba and the dietetic internship at Vancouver General Hospital, I moved to Fort St. John, BC in 2006 to return to my northern roots.
I gleaned over 15 years of work experience with Northern Health. In my roles as a clinical dietitian at Fort St. John hospital and Primary Care dietitian in the community, I gained valuable experience working with people to achieve their goals in healthy weight and managing chronic disease with real food solutions.
As a member of Dietitians of Canada and the BC Dietitians Network, I am committed to continuing education to provide you with the most up to date and reliable source of nutrition information. I am a certified Craving Change facilitator, Behaviour Change coach and registered with the College of Health and Care Professionals of British Columbia.
