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

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 PRACTITIONERS 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?
As of 2020, most of our appointments are online, using a simple and secure video chat platform. We can also meet by phone.
When are appointments available? Can I book evenings and weekends?
We’ve found weekday afternoons and evenings work well for most people, and will almost always have a few of these available. Weekend appointments can also be arranged.
When you’re ready to book your appointment, an online calendar shows availability.
Can’t find a time that works for you? Email us your availability, and we may find some hidden options.
Should I bring anything?
Intake forms and payment are typically handled ahead of your first visit, all online or by phone. So you really don’t need to bring anything other than a willingness to work together. Some clients will share copies of their food & activity journals, which is always welcome. You can take notes, or ask for ours.
Can I bring someone with me?
Certainly. You’re welcome to have a supportive person, such as your spouse, parent, or adult child sit in on the appointment. We’ll stay focused on you, but may ask your support person to help us understand your history with food, or help you with achieveing your goals in between appointments.
