My Journey

​

My interest in nutrition started in my teens and by my early twenties it became a passion that made me read several books. Deciding to become a registered dietitian came very naturally.

 

I enrolled in the nutrition program at the University of Montreal in 2000.  I graduated in 2004 and I have been providing nutrition counselling since then.  I am currently studying at the IFM (Institute of Functional Medicine) towards a functional nutrition certification. It's a field that fascinates me and shapes my current practice towards an integrative and holistic approach. ​

​

I work virtually as well as in person at the ProSanté Center in the West Island of Montreal. I live in Piedmont with my husband Vittorio and we have two beautiful daughters named Mila and Celeste. We also have a parrot named Tito who talks a lot :)

 

We love living in the Laurentians because we are so close to nature. Our favorite activities are camping, wakesurfing and alpine skiing. 

​

In the spring of 2019, I was fighting an invasive streptococcal A blood infection that originated from a mastitis. This led to a septic shock and multiple organ failure. Luckily I was spared from many complications that often arise from sepsis. Since then, I've shared my story as awareness is key. I am currently a Patient Advisor and Steering Committee member of the Action on Sepsis Research Cluster of the University of British Columbia. I am also a Patient Partner with Sepsis Canada.
