My Viva Plan is a digital treatment platform designed by health professionals that provides individualized nutrition and fitness goals, with an emphasis on self-care.  This tool uses a build-your-own meal templates or ready-made meal plans with portion sizes specific to your needs. It's the evidence based tool I use to teach my clients the skills needed to build sustainable, balanced meal plans. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) techniques are utilized to create lasting behavior change so it actually sticks this time. I have worked with this program for over 5 years and find it extremely comprehensive. For more information, visit www.myvivainc.com.

Never ever. You don't need to cut out caffeine to be healthy. We definitely will discuss caffeine dosing and timing strategies to keep you feeling your best.  In fact, I'll probably show up at our session with coffee in hand.  

That all depends.  The program is not easy, but it is effective.  It takes a lot of work to implement the changes and the commitment to show up.  

These programs may be right for you if: 

- you are confused about when to eat and what to eat 

- you notice that either day shift or night shift feels harder 

- you feel foggy and jet-lagged all the time

- you experience gut issues due to eating at weird times

- you feel your health has declined since working shift work

- you are ready and motivated to make changes!

Book a discovery call and we can get your questions answered.

No.  Weight loss can typically take months of consistency.  This program is designed to improve your energy and give you the strategies needed to be successful at shift work.  You may lose weight on this program, but it is not designed exclusively for weight loss and therefore I cannot guarantee any results.

No.  I also feel really strongly about supporting those who live with a shift worker (takes one to know one).  My practice is focused around supporting your circadian rhythm, simple meal planning strategies, and using your chronotype to determine your best meal and exercise timing.  If that interests you, I'm happy to connect!

As a regulated health professional, dietitians are required to register with regulatory bodies.  As of right now, I can provide nutrition counseling services to Canadian residents in Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and New Brunswick. If you live outside these areas, please reach out!  There are still options for you! 

Possibly! Registered dietitian services are covered by a lot of health benefit plans.  Your health spending account may also be an option.  If you have no coverage, you can always claim the cost against your taxes at the end of the year. 

I never promise my clients that they will see a certain result.  That would simply be wrong and misleading.  Every person's body and circumstances are so unique that what works for one doesn't necessarily work for another.  I can guarantee that you will be heard, validated, and supported every step of the way. 

While I could do this for you, I choose not to.  Over my career I have made hundreds of meal plans for clients, and majority of the time, the result is always the same - eventually, broccoli Tuesday gets old and they stop following the meal plan.  When I work with my clients to teach them HOW to make simple, balanced meals they are much more successful in the long run, which is ultimately what I want for you.
