Testimonials
Working with Doris has been nothing short of transformative.
At 47, I was struggling with sleep, weight gain, low energy, and trying to eat well. I felt completely overwhelmed, caught between conflicting health advice online and a medical system that didn't seem to address the realities of perimenopause or proactive women's health.
Having Doris in my corner has been like having a health advocate in my pocket. She helped me cut through the noise, navigate a complicated healthcare system, and focus on realistic changes that actually fit my life. Her support goes far beyond nutrition, incorporating sleep, movement, supplements, mindset, and sustainable behaviour change.
Since working with Doris, I've lost 24 pounds, my blood pressure has returned to normal, and my sleep has improved dramatically. Most importantly, I feel confident in my health and in my ability to maintain these changes long term.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, confused, or stuck when it comes to your health, I can't recommend Doris enough. Working with her has been one of the best investments I've ever made in myself.
- Kate B.
Partnering with Doris was one of the best decisions I've made for my health.
Before working with Doris, I spent three years trying to lose weight and lower my blood sugar levels with little success. Through her guidance and support, I developed sustainable habits that helped me reach my goal weight and significantly improve my blood sugar.
Doris helped me break things down into simple, realistic steps. She taught me how to nourish my body, choose movement that fit my life, and stay consistent with strategies that actually worked for me.
Over time, those small changes added up to meaningful results.
The best part wasn't just the weight loss or improved blood sugar. It was having someone who believed in me, held me accountable, and helped me see that I was capable of making lasting changes. I'm incredibly grateful for her support and guidance in helping me take back control of my health.
- Glynis K.
Frequently Asked Questions
What services do you provide?
Metabolic Health Consultation is a one-time 55-minute consultation designed to help you better understand your symptoms, blood work, metabolic health, and next steps.
The Metabolic Intensive is my signature three-month coaching program for women over 40 using GLP-1 medications. It combines a comprehensive assessment, ongoing coaching, personalized nutrition and lifestyle guidance, and accountability to help you build lasting metabolic health throughout your treatment.
How does the process work?
If you decide to move forward, you'll book either a Metabolic Health Consultation or The Metabolic Intensive.
After booking, you'll receive a welcome email with everything you need to prepare. Depending on the service you've chosen, I'll ask you to complete an intake questionnaire and may request relevant blood work or other health information if it would meaningfully inform our work together.
I'll review everything before we meet so that we can spend our time focused on understanding your health, identifying priorities, and developing a personalized plan that fits your goals and lifestyle.
Which service is right for me?
If you're using a GLP-1 medication and want ongoing guidance, accountability, and personalized support as your body changes, The Metabolic Intensive provides the structure and coaching needed to help you build sustainable habits over time.
If you're unsure which option is the best fit, book a complimentary Discovery Call and we'll decide together.
Do I need blood work before we meet?
If recent blood work or other health records would meaningfully inform our work together, I'll let you know exactly what would be most helpful before your appointment. If you don't have recent testing, we can still have a productive and valuable session.
If additional testing may be appropriate, I can help you prepare for that conversation with your physician. Together, we can discuss which questions to ask and which tests may be worth exploring based on your health history, symptoms, and goals. Any decisions about ordering or interpreting medical tests remain between you and your healthcare provider.
My goal is to use the information that's available, not to create unnecessary testing or delays.
Do you provide support between sessions?
Metabolic Health Consultation: You'll receive one business day of WhatsApp support after your appointment to ask follow-up questions and receive clarification as you begin putting your plan into practice.
The Metabolic Intensive: You'll receive three business days of WhatsApp support following each coaching session. This allows you to ask questions, troubleshoot challenges, and receive guidance as you implement new habits between sessions.
Who is this NOT for?
- A quick fix or a rigid meal plan.
- Someone to tell you exactly what to eat every day without your input.
- Medical diagnosis or prescription management.
- A coach who focuses only on weight loss rather than long-term metabolic health.
My approach is collaborative and personalized. Together, we'll focus on understanding your health, building sustainable habits, and creating a plan that fits your life, not someone else's.
What are your credentials?
My approach combines clinical experience, evidence-informed nutrition, and professional coaching to help women understand their metabolic health and make sustainable lifestyle changes.
While I provide nutrition education, coaching, and lifestyle guidance, I do not diagnose medical conditions or prescribe medications. When appropriate, I work alongside your physician and other healthcare providers to support your care.
What can I expect us to work on together?
Together, we may focus on understanding your metabolic health, improving blood sugar regulation, increasing energy, supporting healthy weight management, navigating perimenopause or menopause, optimizing nutrition while using GLP-1 medications, building sustainable eating habits, improving sleep, managing stress, or creating routines that support long-term health.
Rather than following a rigid diet, we'll focus on practical, evidence-informed strategies that fit your life and help you build habits you can maintain.
Do you provide meal plans?
Instead, I provide personalized nutrition guidance, education, and practical strategies tailored to your goals, preferences, medical history, and lifestyle.
Depending on your needs, you'll also receive resources, worksheets, meal-planning ideas, recipes, and behaviour change tools to help you confidently put your plan into practice.
Are your services covered by insurance?
Some extended health benefit plans or Health Spending Accounts (HSAs) may reimburse services provided by a Registered Holistic Nutritionist or for nutrition counselling or coaching. I recommend confirming your coverage directly with your insurance provider before booking.
I provide detailed receipts that you can submit for reimbursement if your plan includes this benefit.
What payment methods do you accept?
I accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and other major credit cards. Payment plans are available for The Metabolic Intensive, with details provided during booking.
What is your cancellation policy?
Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed appointments, are charged in full except in exceptional circumstances and at my discretion.
For clients enrolled in The Metabolic Intensive, missed coaching sessions count as one of the scheduled sessions.
How far in advance should I book?
Follow-up coaching sessions are typically scheduled together throughout your coaching program.
