A little about me

Hi, I’m Abby.

I’m a Toronto-based Registered Dietitian supporting adults and adolescents navigating eating disorders, disordered eating, chronic dieting and complicated relationships with food and their bodies.

Nutrition care can feel like another set of expectations to meet. My approach is collaborative and curious, with room to speak honestly, without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out before you begin.

Food is connected to culture, identity, sensory needs and lived experience. These parts of you are welcome here.

My background & a little more about me

I hold a Master of Health Science in Nutrition Communication from Toronto Metropolitan University and a Bachelor of Applied Science in Applied Human Nutrition from the University of Guelph. I am registered with the College of Dietitians of Ontario.

My experience spans hospital, outpatient, community and eating disorder treatment settings. This background shapes my attention to both emotional safety and clinical responsibility.

Outside of work, you can usually find me reading in a cafe, wandering through a bookstore, practising yoga, going for a long walk or experimenting with makeup and personal style.

A little clarity

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are a few things you might be wondering before we begin.

Something else on your mind?
Who do you work with?

I work with adults and adolescents located in Ontario who are navigating eating disorders, disordered eating, chronic dieting, body-image concerns or health conditions through a weight-neutral lens. If you’re unsure whether my services fit what you need, a free consultation is a good place to start. I may recommend another provider or level of care when that is a better fit.

Are appointments virtual?

Yes. All appointments are virtual, and you must be located in Ontario at the time of your session. You’ll need a private space, a reliable internet connection and a device with video and audio. In-person appointments are not offered.

What happens during the initial assessment?

We’ll talk about your eating patterns, medical and nutrition history, current symptoms, previous treatment, daily routines and goals. The purpose is to understand the full picture and decide what support should come next. You don’t need to prepare perfect answers or arrive with a clear plan.

Will you give me a meal plan?

Some people benefit from clear meal structure, while others need a different kind of support. Recommendations are individualized and may include meal guidance, practical planning or a more structured eating plan when clinically appropriate. We’ll discuss the purpose of any recommendation and adapt it with you.

Will I have to be weighed?

Weight is not approached as a measure of worth or success. Whether weight information is useful depends on your medical needs, treatment goals and care plan. If weight monitoring is clinically relevant, we’ll discuss why it is being considered and how to approach it as safely and transparently as possible.

Can a parent, caregiver or partner attend?

Yes. With your involvement and consent, a support person can join when their participation would be helpful. For minors, parent or caregiver involvement is highly encouraged but not required. Dedicated support-person sessions are not offered in this current service menu.

How often will we meet?

Appointment frequency depends on your needs, the level of support that feels useful and other members of your care team. We’ll discuss a starting frequency and revisit it as your needs change.

Can you communicate with my doctor or therapist?

Yes. With your consent, I can collaborate with other members of your care team. Coordinated care can be especially important when medical monitoring, psychotherapy or psychiatric support is part of your recovery plan.

What are the fees and insurance options?

Please contact me for pricing information. Dietitian services are HST-exempt. Receipts are provided for insurance reimbursement; direct billing is not offered. Coverage varies by provider and plan, so check whether your benefits cover a Registered Dietitian and what is required for reimbursement.

What is the cancellation policy?

Please cancel at least 24 hours before your appointment to avoid a cancellation fee. Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice and missed appointments incur a $50 fee. Additional terms and rescheduling details will be provided during booking or intake.

What if I need urgent medical or crisis support?

This practice does not provide emergency medical or crisis services. If you may be in immediate danger or need urgent medical attention, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Nutrition counselling may need to be coordinated with medical and mental-health care when safety concerns are present.

How do I get started?

The first step will be a free, 15-minute consultation through Jane, or an inquiry if you have questions first. Booking is not connected in this design preview. The inquiry form is available when its secure connection is active; check the message above the form.
