Registered Dietitian

Avi is a Registered Dietitian with the College of Dietitians of British Columbia. Avi began
her journey in Ontario, at a medical clinic, counselling patients with diabetes, elevated
cholesterol, low iron, diverticulitis and weight gain/loss. She then moved to her
hometown of Winnipeg, MB to work with patients living in long-term care centres. Avi
loves working with groups and has done seminars in various settings including healthy
aging for seniors, cooking demos for pre & post natal groups and nutrition tips for youth in sports.


Avi has a Bachelor of Science in Human Nutritional Sciences from the University of

Avi understands that with a busy lifestyle, healthy eating can sometimes seem like a
chore. She believes food should be simple, fun & tasty. She is here to help you achieve
a healthy balance that fits your schedule and needs. Using a holistic approach, she will
discuss with you your lifestyle, stress level, energy, sleep quality as well as your current
and past eating behaviours. She will work with you to help you determine specific health goals and help you successfully incorporate realistic daily changes into your life that are sustainable.
 
When not working, you can find Avi on a nature walk, exploring local cafes, restaurants
& markets, or modifying classic recipes in the kitchen.
