Does any of this sound familiar?
- I’m often scrambling at mealtime because I don’t have a plan.
- I’ve tried some meal plans, but quickly abandoned them because they were restrictive, used strange ingredients, or took too much time to cook every day.
- I want to use food and nutrition to improve my health, but I’m not completely clear on what’s a healthy, balanced meal.
- Tried to make healthy changes in the past, but found out I didn’t know what I was doing and then quit.
What if…
- You had all the knowledge and skills you needed to choose and eat foods confidently.
- The next time you wondered “what’s for dinner?” you already knew the answer, and had the groceries on hand to make it quickly after work.
- As a jump-start, you had weekly meal plans and grocery lists to use – inspired by people living right here in Saskatchewan.
- You had access to an expert to assess your personal needs, design a plan with you, and answer all of your questions.
All of that is possible with Individual Nutrition Counselling + Meal Planning Support

It’s challenging to navigate, and to know who or what to trust. But rest assured: I’ve guided hundreds of people before you. See a sample story below.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my health insurance cover this?
You may find Registered Dietitians listed with Chiropractors and Massage Therapists as one of types of HEALTH PRACTIONERS or Providers covered by your plan. There are ordinarily limits to this coverage, such as a total amount per year and/or a maximum amount per visit. To avoid surprizes, we recommend understanding those limits ahead of time.
Nutrition Counselling with us may also be an eligible expense for any FLEXIBLE health or wellness spending accounts you may have though your workplace. Others have used workplace-sponsored personal development funds, as well.
If you have any kind of coverage, let us know. While we won’t direct bill your plan, we will do our best to ensure you get all the services you’re covered for, and provide detailed reciepts in support of your claims.
And if your coverage doesn’t reimburse you for 100% of the cost of your nutrition counselling, Canada Revenue Agency recognizes any out-of-pocket costs as eligible medical expenses for income tax deduction purposes. Save your receipts!
Are there payment plans available?
Where do we meet?
After selecting a day and time for your first visit, you’ll be invited to meet in person with Nicole at her home office. It’s in north-west Regina, and that address is shared in your confirmation email.
If you live outside Regina, or would find it more convenient not to drive to your followup appointments, we also have the option of using a secure video chat platform. No downloads needed.
And with the higher-level packages, available bonuses allow you to take your appointments to a location of your choice within Regina. So we can meet at your home, office, or where you ordinarily do your grocery shopping.
When are appointments available? Can I book evenings and weekends?
Should I bring anything?
Can I bring someone with me?
Boisterous kids are best left with someone who can give their full attention to childcare. And there’s no waiting room available for hangers-on, so please be thoughtful about who comes with you.
But a supportive person, like your spouse, parent, or adult child, is always welcome to listen in and contribute to the discussion – at your invitation.
JUST PLEASE GIVE NICOLE A HEADS UP FIRST.
Have a well-behaved child or driver you just have to bring along? While it’s not ideal, they’re also welcome. They’ll have to be in the room with us, and find ways to amuse themselves quietly for an hour or so.
