Hi, I am Sylva. 

I am a Registered Holistic Nutritionist (RHN), Culinary Nutrition Expert (CNE)

and certified yoga teacher based in Ottawa, Canada. I am passionate about helping people with their health challenges through nutrition, yoga and meditation.

My interest in nutrition originally grew through the goal of healing my auto-immune disorder without using pharmaceuticals. Over the years I learned about nutrition and discovered that cooking whole food from scratch does not have to be time consuming or complicated and that is what I want to share with you. Since I shifted to mindful plant based eating I have healed from my autoimmune disorder.

Now I want to help others on their healing journey. I use my yoga and meditation training to teach  you about mindful  cooking and eating, because it does make a big difference. 

I have great passion for cooking and plant-based eating. I enjoy encouraging clients to incorporate more plant-based meals into their diet. I love to show clients that plant-based meal can be easy to make, nutritious, economical and delicious at the same time.

A holistic approach takes into consideration the body, mind and spirit. We can heal ourselves through natural whole food, positive attitude and mindfulness.

My goal as a holistic nutritionist, culinary expert and yoga teacher is to be the best possible coach to meet your health needs and happiness.

Love and Peace,
Sylva

Holistic Nutrition

Holistic nutrition focuses on a natural approach to a healthy diet and considers the individual as a whole, including all aspects of his/her lifestyle. This natural approach incorporates emotional, spiritual and physical health to create a state of well-being for optimum health.

The main focus in holistic nutrition is an individual approach as each person is unique and we have different needs and likes. What might be a beneficial food for one person might be detrimental for another.

As a Registered Holistic Nutritionists (RHN) I am professionally trained in natural nutrition and my primary function is to educate individuals about the benefits and health impacts of optimal nutrition. I am qualified to work with clients to identify their nutritional imbalances, and design personalized diet and lifestyle plans for wellness.
