Amy Coates, B.Sc., RHN
Director of Nutrition, Total Wellness Consulting
 

I am a registered holistic nutritionist who specializes in eating for optimal energy and weight management.  I graduated from the University of Toronto with an honors B.Sc. double major in psychology and political science, and went on to graduate from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition. 

My mission is to inspire people to take control of their weight and health by creating healthy eating habits and a healthy relationship with food.  We eat every day, and what we eat can either bring our bodies into balance and closer to optimal health or it can shift the balance toward illness.  The choice is ours.

My philosophy revolves around living foods, exercise, and a positive attitude.  My approach to nutrition emphasizes education, guidance, and on-going support.  A steady, gradual change from your current diet toward a more health-supportive way of eating will provide you with more energy than you’ve ever experienced.  I know, I’ve done it!

My nutritional counseling services include preventative nutrition, weight management, erradicating digestive issues, detoxification and cleansing programs, food allergies and sensitivities, immune system support, as well as chronic health issues such as diabetes and hypertension.  You can either improve or even completely erradicate disease if  you simply improve your diet!

I want to share my knowledge with others so I can help them achieve their true health and energy potential.  My personal experience with constant allergies and a compromised immune system perpetuated my passion for nutrition, helped turn my shyness into confidence, and gave me the endless energy I have today…and energy is contagious!  I am fascinated by nutrition and the starring role it plays in our body chemistry.  Studying psychology made me eager to find out more about what makes people act as they do, so I turned to the body’s fuel and started looking at food and its effects on the body. I have discovered many fundamental laws of nutrition that have driven me to make drastic changes in my own life, and I desperately want to help others make similar life altering changes in their health through healing with food.
