Jamie is a registered dietitian specialized in the treatment of eating disorders and also identifies as a part of the BIPOC and AAPI (Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders) community. Born and raised in Toronto, Jamie completed her Bachelors in Dietetics and accreditation at McGill University and stayed in Montreal to join the Ordre des diététistes nutritionnistes du Québec (ODNQ), and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics in the United States (AND).
Jamie uses a collaborative and trauma-informed approach in her sessions and has experience working with individuals with severe and enduring eating disorders (including anorexia nervosa, bulimia and binge-eating disorder), adults needing support around maintenance, later stages of recovery and/or intuitive eating, and adolescents and families seeking Family based treatment for Anorexia.
Having worked in both medical and private practice settings, Jamie places emphasis on both physical and mental wellbeing. Jamie believes that good health is always multi-factorial, and that there is no health without mental health. She supports the Health-at-Every-Size® movement and fosters a safe space for her clients so that they can progress at their own pace without judgment. She has received training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectal Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and Family Based Treatment (FBT), often using a combination of these approaches in her treatment or nutrition care for eating disorders, and to assist clients in exploring their relationship with food, body, and weight.
As a former business owner, Jamie has also been greatly involved in the food and snack industry. She understands its complexity, the ties to diet culture and the harmful impact food marketing can have on one’s relationship with food. In Jamie’s virtual practice, she uses her knowledge of the food industry, combined with her understanding of cultural challenges present in the BIPOC community, and her extensive training to support clients in recovery, developing an approach to eating that is aligned with their values.
Jamie currently offers supervision to healthcare professionals for professional support, development and collaborative learning. Jamie is trilingual in French, English and Cantonese and provides insurance receipts.
