In general, a dietitian can obtain registration with one or more provinces and can only provide services to residents of all the provinces they are registered with. Some provinces in Canada allow any dietitian registered with another province to provide virtual services to residents of their province.

Our team of dietitians can provide services to the residents of the following provinces:

• British Columbia
• Alberta
• Saskatchewan
• Yukon
• Northwest Territories
• Nunavut
• Ontario
• New Brunswick
• Nova Scotia
• Newfoundland and Labrador

If you reside in another province and are interested in dietitian services, please contact our office for information.

Research shows that though diets may help you lose weight initially, they do not help with long-term weight management. Our nutritionists help you develop skills for life, providing the ongoing support that fad diets do not.

Many people see nutritionists for a variety of reasons besides weight loss. Sports nutrition, disease management, and corporate wellness are just a few of the areas our nutritionists excel in.

The term “dietitian” is protected by law across Canada, which means that only individuals who meet specific educational qualifications, criteria, and standards can use this title. The term “Nutritionist” may or may not be protected, depending on the province. Provinces like Alberta, Quebec, and Nova Scotia have protected this title by law, meaning that nutritionists in these provinces have met the same criteria and standards as dietitians.

In other provinces, the title “Nutritionist” is not protected by law. Titles such as Registered Holistic Nutritionists (RHN), Certified Nutritional Practitioners (CNP), Registered Nutritional Consulting Practitioner (RNCP), Registered Nutritional Therapist (RNT), National Nutrition Clinical Practitioner (NNCP) etc., are often used by nutrition providers who might have completed privately-owned training programs that are not accredited. As a result, individuals using these titles may not be regulated health professionals.

For the best nutrition advice and information, look for a qualified and experienced professional. You can contact your province’s dietetic regulatory body to ensure you receive services from a qualified dietitian.

A referral from a physician is not required!

Our dietitians cannot provide clients with requisitions to complete blood testing. Since we are a private practice, we are not connected with the public healthcare system’s labs or health records.

If a client requires blood work at any given time, your dietitian will recommend that you contact your physician to obtain a requisition for blood work.
