Prenatal Nutrition Counselling with a Registered Dietitian | Ontario & Nova Scotia
Growing a baby is extraordinary work. Your nutrition support should match.
From the moment you conceive to the day you give birth, your nutritional needs shift and grow alongside your baby. Nausea, fatigue, heartburn, gestational diabetes, changing body composition, and questions about what you actually need at each stage — pregnancy brings a lot. We help you navigate all of it with personalized, evidence-based guidance that supports both you and your baby, every step of the way.

Everything you want to know before your first appointment.
Do my insurance benefits cover dietetic services?
Many extended health benefit plans offer coverage for registered dietitian services. However, coverage can vary depending on your specific plan. We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to confirm the details of your coverage. After your session, you will receive an official receipt that can be submitted to your insurer for reimbursement. Please ask about direct billing, as we do offer it for many insurance providers.
Can I self-refer? Do I need a referral from my doctor?
Yes! You do not need a referral from another healthcare provider to book an appointment. Many clients choose to self-refer.
