Justine is a registered dietitian keen on helping others build (or rebuild) positive relationships with all foods. She has always been fascinated by the way food nourishes our minds, bodies and souls, and connects us no matter our unique background.
Having always known she wanted a career that would allow her to work with others, and with her longstanding passion for food and nutrition, Justine began her 6-year journey toward becoming a dietitian. She completed her Bachelor’s degree in Applied Human Nutrition at the University of Guelph in Ontario, then achieved her Masters in Human Nutrition at McGill University.
After her studies, Justine joined the Ordre des diététistes-nutritionnistes du Québec (ODNQ) and began her career in long-term care. She has always approached nutrition therapy in a holistic manner, striving to debunk nutrition myths and promote the principles of intuitive and mindful eating. Their principles alongside those of Health at Every Size®, body neutrality, and gentle nutrition align with her values and have helped her improve her own relationship with food.
Coming from a Moroccan and Latvian background and having lived in Trinidad and Tobago for over 2 years, Justine has had a culturally diverse upbringing with exposure to many traditions. She loves travelling and exploring the flavours of the world alongside learning about different cultures. All of her experiences have helped her develop a set of core values based on empathy, acceptance and respect.
Justine is committed to creating open, inclusive, and safe spaces for everyone she encounters and will continue to do the same with all of her clients.
Justine is bilingual in English and French, and is excited to help clients reconnect with themselves and their needs. Justine provides insurance receipts.
