I have been interested in food and health for most of my life and feel so fortunate to have a career in nutrition. I graduated from St. F. X. U. and completed an internship at the Victoria General Hospital. A six month backpacking trip around Europe added to my love of preparing and eating real, whole food. My first dietitian job was in community hospital in Belfast, Maine. I then worked as a dietitian in London, Ontario. After 12 years away I was so happy to move my family back to beautiful Nova Scotia. Private Practice and writing nutrition articles kept me current and also gave me flexibility to be home with my growing boys. Now I am excited to be with Atlantic Superstore where I conduct grocery store tours, cooking demos and nutrition coaching sessions. My focus is to bring people back to real, wholesome food and to inspire habits such as meal planning, healthy food preparation and mindful eating.

I love what I do.  I am always thrilled to empower and connect with people.  I have been practicing as a Dietitian since 1999, teaching and coaching thousands of people on how to lead a healthier lifestyle and adjust their eating plan to achieve their goals.

 

I was born and raised in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.  I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Human Nutrition from St. FX in 1998 and proceeded to complete a dietetic internship program at Vancouver General Hospital in BC.  I have been working with Sobeys as a community Dietitian since 2001 offering community nutrition sessions and marketing our amazing in-store services. 

 

A true passion of mine is media.  I offer regular segments on CTV Morning Live, covering the hot nutrition topic of the day, or demonstrating a simple but healthy recipe.  I love receiving emails from viewers that they found my tips helpful or have incorporated my recipes into their favourites.  I think that is what all of us Dietitians have in common – we are a caring bunch, looking to connect with people and help them lead a better life.  You can’t get a better gig than that!

I hold a BA from Dalhousie University, a diploma from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy (registered with MTANS), and in 2016 graduated with a BSc in Applied Human Nutrition from Mount Saint Vincent University and am registered with the Nova Scotia Dietetics Association. Recently (May 2018) I completed Mindfulness-Based Eating Awareness Training (MB-EAT) with Andrea Lieberstein and Jean Kristeller, and integrate a mindful approach to my counselling. I practice as a Massage Therapist and Nutritionist and am accepting new clients. 

Food choices and behaviours are deeply personal and often the reasons for why are unknown. There is no one perfect answer to our nutrition needs; no one diet that will solve it all, we are all unique and our diet needs to reflect this uniqueness. My approach to nutrition counselling reflects my approach to massage therapy, focusing more on the “why” than the “what”. Why are you eating what you’re eating – is it serving you? Once the why is envisioned, a plan for change can evolve, if change is needed. I am an empathetic and candid facilitator, working with my clients to support them as they manifest change. I am a believer of the exceptional benefits of movement for our mind and body, and integrate walking into appointment times - we will walk together, talk, and find your path.

I believe that every body has the ability to heal and thrive. 

It is my mission to give you the tools to engage in your personal self-care and to be your detective and educator along the way to support you in uncovering the root cause of your health concerns. Functional nutrition understands the whole person, addresses the terrain from which your signs, symptoms or diagnosis manifested and teaches you how to bring your body and spirit back into balance.

My interest in functional nutrition comes from my own struggle to heal my digestive system to improve hormonal health. I began to truly understand that there is more to nutritional health than generic recommendations and quick fixes. Every body is different and effective preventative health care needs to address you as a unique individual in its approach to healing.

I am also a certified yoga instructor integrating therapeutic yoga and energy practices as an adjunct to consultations when needed to balance physical, mental and emotional health. Learn more at www.embodhi.ca or book a free call to chat with me!

Graduating from Acadia University with a Kinesiology degree and more recently, from MSVU with distinction with an Applied Human Nutrition degree, Michael has formal education and experience in both exercise and nutrition.

Through his education and practice as a dietitian, Michael developed a keen interest in the psychology of behavior change and how this influences our nutrition choices.

He strongly believes that health and performance are reflective of our daily habits. By working to improve our daily habits, we can move closer to our goals each day.

That being said, there is always resistance to change. Which is why it can be a daunting task to try to improve on our own. Michael believes that health and performance are team sports. Everyone should have a dietitian on their team to ensure they receive the best, most evidence-based nutrition information available.

When not working, Michael is either reading about philosophy, writing, or walking the trails of Point Pleasant Park with his wife Malia, and his Nova Scotia Duck Toller, Betty.
