Notice: Nesrine is taking some time with her growing family and does not have availability for new clients right now, but we can’t wait to welcome her back.

Nesrine was determined to be a dietitian ever since she gained her passion for nutrition and health when she was 11 years old. She comes from a family of health professionals consisting of doctors and pharmacists, but always knew she wanted to be involved in disease prevention. Nesrine was diagnosed with an autoimmune digestive disease at a young age and dealt with many nutrition-related issues. Through her personal experiences, she gained more knowledge, experience and drive to help others heal using food as a form of therapy. 

Being a mother of a young toddler, she has also become dedicated to helping other parents learn the best approaches to nourishing their children at a pace that works for them.

Nesrine completed her nutrition degrees at Brescia University College, with a Bachelor of Science in Food and Nutrition, Post-Degree Diploma and Master’s degree. She has also obtained her credentials as a Certified Diabetes Educator. As a lifelong learner, she strives to be on top of the latest research and articles relating to nutrition and physical activity to confidently answer her clients’ questions. Nesrine genuinely cares about each and every one of her clients and uses a tailored and individualized approach to nutrition counselling. She also believes every person has unique nutrition needs and deserves to be heard and respected in order to be successful with their goals.

I don't know where to start!! We had a genuine connection at hello because of her genuine excitement which she states and her natural ability and desire to help us struggling clients. She is extremely knowledgeable and not pushy. She listened to me and heard me. We worked together which is so necessary for success. There's so much I received from her in a short time. I would recommend her services with absolute sincerity. I'm truly grateful for meeting her and having her abilities to guide me to a healthier outcome. - via Google, June 2026

I am loving working with Valentina. I was eating so little, I had a bad relationship with food specially with veggies and I was not losing weight. She understood my situation, and she is helping me so much. Now I am losing weight, eating so well, enjoying every meal, which for me was impossible. She also speak Spanish which makes it so much easier for me. I am so thankful and genuinely happy to be in this journey with her. - via Google, June 2026

I’ve received lots of really great information that fit my personal situation. Love the recipe ideas. They are a great kickstart to eating a bit differently for me and adding variety to my diet. I’ve also learned how to reframe some things about my diet that had me stuck. I bought the Complete program and am really finding the nutrition courses that come with it helpful and informative. - via Google, June 2026

I really enjoyed my session yesterday with Nav. I felt she was truly invested in my worries and hopes. She provided great advise and guidance simply through conversation. She provided insight and facts to answer my whys, without be even asking why. She was very inspiring. I am looking forward to working with her over the next several months. - via email, May 2026
