Personalized Nutrition Plans for Autoimmune Arthritis, Digestive Health and Metabolic Health
You want your body back.
Energy. Digestion. Metabolic Health. Less Pain.
Using a combination of holistic and functional nutrition, you can absolutely make major shifts by simply connecting the dots as to what is happening with YOU.
In my clinical experience, clients typically see energy improve by 50 to 70%, digestion improve by 70 to 90%, pain reduce by 30 to 50% and weight shift by 5 to 20 pounds within three months.
Improvements in blood work, including cholesterol, blood sugar, CRP, thyroid and liver enzymes generally take a little longer and respond best with a consistent, whole-body support plan.
I provide both private and group counselling:
- All appointments are virtual and HIPPA compliant to serve you in the comfort of your own home or at work.
- My private client support starts with a 4-session package. Individual sessions are also available (case scenario).
- Functional lab testings are available and person specific (Food Sensitivity Testing, Comprehensive Stool Analysis and Organic Acids).
- Group support is for women 40+ with autoimmune disease.
BWH Digestive Health Plan
Your digestion has been off for a while. Bloating, gas, acid reflux, constipation, diarrhea, hemorrhoids or discomfort after eating meals you used to love. You've tried cutting things out, adding things in and still can't figure out what's going on!
Your gut is a complex, important organ influenced not just by food but also by your environment, movement and stress. It's more connected with your immune response, skin, joint health, energy and inflammation than most people are ever told.
This 4-session private plan gives you a clear, customized path forward to restoring digestive health.
Step One starts with an analysis of your health history and current symptoms to identify what's triggering your body. This can include a combination of food sensitivities, microflora (gut bacteria) imbalances or other inflammatory triggers based on symptoms or functional lab testing. This important first step will help you stop guessing at dinner time or in restaurants, hoping you don't have an episode.
Step Two: We continue to build your nutrition plan around your specific gut health picture (not a generic elimination protocol). This means a realistic, flexible approach designed around your symptoms or diagnoses, household dynanics and your schedule, so you can actually follow it.
Step Three layers in targeted digestive support: specific supplements, lifestyle shifts for stress and sleep (both directly affect digestion) and the practical habit tools that make this sustainable beyond the four sessions.
By session four, you will have a personalized and flexible plan that works with your body, not against it. You'll know with certainty how to work with your digestion or gut health for better bowel movements, less acid reflux, bloating and discomfort.
Cost: $698 - $795 CAD (~$550 - $597 USD)
- 4 Private Appointments (1x90 min; 3 x 45 min, including support in between)
- Payment plans available; covered by some insurance
"Vanessa was able to fix my gut issues and help me reintroduce sooo many foods I had been avoiding. She was also able suggestion some supplements to compliment the other treatments my doctor had recommended. It was helpful to have someone to talk to that understands the challenges we go through and is able to offer real world solutions." (Teresa, At Home Mom, IBS, Fibro, MCTD)
"I haven't had any hemorrhoids since following your recommendations. I have my go-to meals for work and home, and I'm back to exercising like normal." (Louise, Lawyer, 2 year history of hemorrhoids)
"I was finally able to come off my antacids and the burping went away. I also lost 10 pounds while you were encouraging me to eat more." (Colleen, VP Sales, AS, Post-Menopausal, Acid Reflux)
BWH Metabolic Health Nutrition Plan
Your blood work came back and something was flagged. Perhaps the number on the scale keeps creeping up no, matter what you try. Maybe your doctor is concerned about fatty liver, cholesterol or blood sugar and now you're looking at a medication. You are doing your best with the information you have but managing metabolic challenges feels like trying to fix four things with one tool that was not designed for any of them.
These conditions do not appear alone. They share a root cause and that root is inflammation.
This 4-session private plan gives you a connected approach built around your body and not a generalized protocol.
Step One begins with a thorough intake of your current labs, symptoms and health history. We look at the full picture, including your insulin response (how your body processes sugar), liver function, lipid (cholesterol) markers and the inflammatory patterns underneath them. This is where we stop guessing and start connecting the dots.
Step Two is your customized nutrition plan (not a low-fat diet from 1995 or strictly low carb from 2010). We build a practical, evidence-informed approach built around the anti-inflammatory foods that also support metabolic markers, reduce visceral fat (the fat stored around your organs) and work with your real life (your household dynamics, busy schedule, likes and dislikes). Flexibility is non-negotiable here for long term success because metabolic health is a long term necessity for a full, healthy life.
Step Three adds targeted support that makes your food plan work harder. Select supplements are customized to your unique challenges (blood sugar regulation, liver support and cholesterol balance). We also start to layer on realistic lifestyle interventions for sleep, movement and stress because each of those directly affects your metabolic health in ways that food alone cannot address.
By session four, you will understand exactly what has been driving your numbers and have a clear, sustainable plan to shift them.
If your doctor has flagged your metabolic health and you want a whole-body approach that works alongside your medical care, this is where we start.
Cost: $698 - $795 CAD (~$550 - $597 USD)
- 4 Private Appointments (1x90 min; 3 x 45 min, including support in between)

"This program saved my life! I feel it’s because of this knowledge I was given that helped push me in to remission earlier than my doctor predicted. With this knowledge, going forward I hope to stave off future occurrences." (Marilyn, Retired, PMR, pre-diabetes, elevated cholesterol, asthma)
"Got labs back today and things are better than ever! I'm sure a big part of this is because I've been following all of your brilliant guidance ... Thyroid is better than it's been in a year and kidneys are happier probably because of all the hydration, good iron and B12!" (Samantha, Policy Writer, Hashimoto's)
"I need less insulin than normal with the changes you provided. That was surprising." (Tyler, Fellow, Type 1 Diabetes, PsA, psoriasis)

BWH Autoimmune + Inflammation Action Plan
You have a diagnosis and maybe more than one. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS) or another condition in the rheumatic disease family. Your rheumatologist is managing your medication and you're grateful for that. But between appointments, you're still waking up stiff, hitting a wall at 2pm and swatching what you eat without really knowing if it is helping. You're doing everything you have been told to do and have bone aching fatigue and flares.
Your immune system is not randomly malfunctioning. There are specific drivers of inflammation with autoimmune and they are all unique to the person. Food, digestion, stress and sleep are either feeding that fire or helping to calm it every single day. This 4-session private plan is designed to identify your specific triggers and give you a clear, practical nutrition and lifestyle plan that works alongside your medical treatment for a truly integrative health plan.
Step One is a comprehensive health intake that looks at your full picture: your diagnoses; your current medications; your symptom patterns; your lab work and the lifestyle factors that are either contributing to or protecting against your flares. We identify possible root causes specific to you because no two autoimmune cases are the same.
Step Two builds your personalized nutrition plan using the Autoimmune Nutrition Triad (immune regulation, digestive health and energy metabolism). And we do it in a way that reflects your real life (your energy, household, schedule, foods you actually enjoy). It's a strategic, flexible approach designed to reduce systemic inflammation (whole-body immune activation) while being something you can genuinely sustain.
Step Three brings in targeted supplement support, digestive interventions and lifestyle tools for sleep, movement and stress regulation, all of which have a direct and documented impact on inflammation and autoimmune activity. Every recommendation is customized to your situation and designed to complement, not conflict, with your medical plan.
By session four, you'll have a clear understanding of what's driving your inflammation and a whole-body support plan you can follow with confidence.
Cost: $698 - $795 CAD (~$550 - $597 USD)
- 4 Private Appointments (1x90 min; 3 x 45 min, including support in between)
- Payment plans available; covered by some insurance
"The inflammation in my hands has come down, and I have more energy. I don't feel like depriving myself of my favourite foods ... I still go to restaurants with friends and my family loves what I bring to our picnics." (Angela, Software Consultant, RA and Osteoarthritis)
"I love what you're doing and how you truly personalize care to what is doable for each person's real life! I've never experienced such patient, well considered, and truly effective care before. Your knowledge is extensive and worth a lot, but your care and integrity are incredible." (Lynae, Thyroiditis, Suspected Endometriosis)
