  • Personal experience as a mom

    As a mom of three kids aged 9 to 14, I’ve faced quite a few challenges during their early years—breastfeeding struggles, introducing solid foods (my daughter refused purées!!!), and having one very selective eater at mealtime.

    With everyone’s busy schedules and different activities, I also had to relearn how to organize meal planning to make sure each family member got balanced and nourishing meals that met their needs.

    My experiences, combined with my expertise as a pediatric and family nutritionist, allow me to support you through the challenges you’re facing.

  • Her background in pediatric and family nutrition

    For over 15 years, Élodie has been guiding women, children, and families through every stage of life — from fertility to adolescence.

    She began her career in private practice, offering personalized nutrition consultations to a diverse clientele, including pediatrics, pregnancy, diabetes, digestive issues, weight management, and food allergies. This experience allowed her to develop a warm, person-centered approach tailored to each family’s unique needs.

    She later continued her mission within the public health system, notably at the CIUSSS de Laval and CIUSSS du Nord-de-l’Île-de-Montréal, where she supported families in vulnerable situations, led workshops for parents and children, and collaborated with the OLO and SIPPE programs to promote healthy eating habits from early childhood.

    Élodie also contributed to well-known initiatives at the Université de Montréal with Extenso, such as the Nos Petits Mangeurs and Naître et Grandir projects, which have helped thousands of families nourish their children more effectively.

    Since 2024, she has been using her expertise to support daycare centers, preschools, and residences, helping plan balanced menus that meet current nutrition policies while assisting families in adopting a varied and realistic approach to everyday eating.

    Today, Élodie combines her clinical expertise, public health experience, and personal journey as a mother of three to offer an approach that is both evidence-based and compassionate — rooted in the real-life challenges parents face today.

  • Publications and collaborations

    Élodie has contributed to several books and articles focused on helping families eat better in their daily lives.

    Co-author of Je cuisine avec des images (Éditions Carte Blanche) and Recettes santé pour mères de famille pressées (Ixelles Éditions)

    Author of articles for Protégez-Vous and the Canadian Journal of Dietetic Practice and Research

    Speaker at public health events and university conferences on health promotion and family nutrition

  • Community involvement and experience

    Outside of her clinical practice, Élodie is actively involved in her community.
    She has led numerous nutrition workshops for pregnant women, parents, and children, and has organized educational activities in schools as well as community cooking projects.
    Élodie has also volunteered in hospitals and school settings and has served on the boards of organizations that support children and families.

    A mother of three, and passionate about cooking, reading, and the outdoors, she understands the challenges of everyday life and loves helping families find a healthy and realistic balance.

  • Do you provide meal plans and recipes?

  • What is your cancellation policy?

    Cancellation Policy

    We understand that circumstances may arise that require you to cancel or reschedule your session, and we aim to provide a transparent cancellation policy. Please review the following guidelines:

    Cancellation Notice:

    • We require at least 24 hours’ notice for any cancellation or rescheduling.

     

    Cancellation Fees:

      • Should a client cancel within less than 24 hours before their scheduled consultation, 100% of the session fee will be charged. This fee is in place to protect the time of our dietitians and avoid lost opportunities for others.

     

    Reminder Notifications:

      • To help avoid these cancellation fees, we send email and text reminders before any meetings to serve as a reminder that can often allow you to confirm, cancel, or reschedule your session should anything come up.

     

    Cancellation and Rescheduling:

      • Our client portal allows all of our clients to have access to modify, cancel, or reschedule their appointments. We encourage our clients to use this feature right away should any changes happen prior to the appointment.
  • Do I have to pay when booking a consultation?

    No, your credit card information will be required to book a consultation; however, you will not be charged until the end of your session or if you cancel late (within our 24 hour cancellation policy).

  • Are all the sessions online?

    Yes, our consultations take place on Zoom, but they can also be conducted over the phone if that is a preference. We use systems like Practice Better that allow for easy scheduling, communication, and invoicing.

  • How do I know if my insurance covers your services?

    You should check with your insurance company to see if dietitian and/or nutritionist services are covered.

  • Can you provide insurance receipts?

    Yes, I will provide you with an insurance receipt at the end of every session.
