Holistic nutrition is all about nourishing the body, mind, and spirit with whole, nutrient-dense foods and creating a lifestyle that supports well-being. If you’re looking for a sustainable approach to family health that goes beyond just “what to eat,” then holistic nutrition is a perfect fit for you. It’s not about quick fixes, restrictive diets, or one-size-fits-all solutions. It’s about finding what works for your unique family and creating a plan that’s manageable and enjoyable in the long run.

There are many health insurance plans and extended healthcare benefits which offer annual registered nutritionist coverage, for example: BlueCross, BlueShield, Canada Life, Desjardins, Great-West, Green Shield, Manulife, Sunlife. Your coverage depends on the type of plan you have with your employer, and it is important to check with your insurance provider as some exclusions may apply. Some health insurance plans may cover only a portion of the cost (e.g. 80%) while others may cover the full cost of the sessions. In addition to insurance coverage for paramedical services (where generally the registered nutritionist consultations will be found), some companies offer health spending accounts  to their employees, offering reimbursement for health related expenses, including registered nutritionists.
