How many sessions do I need?
A minimum of 2 sessions is required for the initial assessment and recommendations. Typically, our clients opt for at least 12 sessions, but the exact number will be influenced by factors such as your goals, current knowledge, desired accountability/support, and budget.
After the initial assessment, the dietitian will recommend the number of sessions that would be most beneficial for you. It's important to emphasize that we will never impose any undue pressure, and we are dedicated to accommodating all budgets.

Are Dietitian services Tax-Deductible in Canada?
Yes! Registered dietitian services in Canada are eligible for the Medical Expense Tax Credit (METC), making them tax-deductible. If you pay out of pocket for nutrition consultations, you may be able to claim these expenses on your income tax return. To qualify, the services must be provided by a registered dietitian and meet the Canada Revenue Agency's (CRA) medical expense guidelines. Keep your receipts, as you may be able to deduct costs exceeding the minimum threshold set by the CRA. We recommend consulting a tax professional or visiting the CRA website for the latest eligibility details.

Do you direct bill?
At the moment, we do not offer direct billing, but we will provide a detailed receipt for you to submit.

What's the difference between a "nutritionist" and a "Registered Dietitian"?
The title "Dietitian" is protected across Canada, similar to physician, nurse, and pharmacist.
Dietitians provide evidence-based information and life-changing guidance tailored to individual needs and goals. They hold at least a degree in foods and nutrition from an accredited university program and complete an extensive practicum/internship, ensuring they are trustworthy healthcare professionals who offer more than just a list of foods or a generic diet.
Dietitians are also provincially regulated to protect the public.
