Favourite Quote: “The first wealth is health” – Ralph Waldo Emerson. I love this quote as it emphasizes the idea that good health is the most valuable asset a person can possess.

Food represents more than just fuel for the body systems; it is social, cultural, emotional and offers a way for friends and families to connect. Let’s celebrate and savour good food and friends and eating together. Approach to Counseling: “My counselling approach is rooted in a combination of expertise, experience, trustworthiness, and empathy. I understand the unique challenges that individuals face when it comes to their relationship with food. Many of my clients come to me with feelings of frustration, a loss of control around food, struggles with eating habits, and overwhelming guilt. My empathetic and understanding nature allows me to connect with your feelings and experiences on a deeper level. I know that addressing issues related to food and eating habits is not just about fueling your body; it’s also about factoring in the emotional, social, sensory and physical aspects at play. I’m here to support you, help you with gaining control, and help free yourself from the uncomfortable feelings of guilt. My experience in working with a variety of clients has equipped me with the insights and strategies needed to help navigate these complex emotions and behaviours. I approach our sessions with a high level of trustworthiness, creating a safe, confidential space where you can open up without fear of judgment. Together, we’ll work towards a healthier, more varied eating plan, incorporating a balanced approach to food and nutrition, plus a more positive relationship with food, ultimately empowering you to live a fulfilling and nourishing life.

I had the best experience working with Nav! My goal was to create more structure around my meals, better understand portion sizes, and lose some excess weight. She was incredibly easy to work with and so approachable throughout the process. What I appreciated most was that she didn’t completely overhaul my diet or give me an unrealistic meal plan with foods I’d never cook. Instead, she worked with my current eating habits and helped me make small, sustainable changes that fit my lifestyle. She helped me gradually move from where I was to where I wanted to be while building healthier habits along the way. I’d highly recommend working with her! - via Google, May 2026

I recently finished up my last few sessions with Tooba and I had a very positive experience. She was extremely helpful, kind and made the whole process easy. I started off with an idea as to what I wanted to achieve and together we set up a framework of goals to work towards. I had various questions throughout our check in sessions and Tooba answered all my questions in a clear and concise manner. She also provided me with some great suggestions and alternatives to better fit my dietary preferences. Overall, I feel more confident and knowledgeable in my food choices. Thanks again for all your help Tooba! - via Google, April 2026

I am extremely satisfied with the service provided for my infant. I was really confused with solids and what to offer to my child in terms of nutrition and that can support proper growth. Valentina made it super easy for me as now i dont need to think rather just prepare and offer to my kid. Highly recommend this. - via Google, April 2026
