My name is Miranda and I love food ... but food didn't always love me!

For years I struggled with food and poor eating habits, and with those habits came weight gain. I was unhappy with my body and unhappy with my job. After over 7 years in the social work field, I realized I hadn't found my calling! I love helping people but this wasn't the answer, first I had to work on myself!

I got my butt into gear ... literally. Not only did I lose weight through exercise but I overhauled my eating. With a new found love and respect for food – this time healthy, wholesome, nourishing food, I realized this was the answer. I solved my health issues and discovered a career in the making!

In 2010 I went back to school to become a certified Holistic Nutritionist at the Institute of Holistic Nutrition in Toronto, Ontario. It was there I learned everything I need to offer my clients today on their own journey to health and well-being. I've always loved to cook and am most at peace in my kitchen. It's in my kitchen I hope to teach clients healthy habits, new ways to look at food and how to prepare it!

Healthy food does not have to be tasteless and I can prove it to you.

My name is Miranda, and I still love food! This time food loves me!

Let me help you nourish yourself!
