A Bit About Me
Hello and welcome! My name is Sylvia and I am a Registered Dietitian. I am registered with the College of Dietitians of British Columbia and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
I love working with both adults and children, and am passionate about helping people create realistic, sustainable lifestyle changes. The areas of practice I am the most passionate about include prenatal nutrition, baby led weaning and starting solids, picky eating, and pediatric allergies. I also have extensive experience with the nutritional management of inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s & Colitis), diabetes (both Type 1 & 2), hypertension, preeclampsia, and celiac disease.
I graduated with my dietetics degree from the University of British Columbia with honors, and completed my Master’s of Science in Human Nutrition at Columbia University in the City of New York. I am passionate about research, and my thesis work was in pediatric eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). In my free time, I enjoy doing pilates, reading, travelling, and spending time with my family and loved ones!
I offer both virtual and in-person appointments, and I am happy to offer a 15 minute complimentary phone call to see if we are the right fit for each other. I look forward to meeting you!
