Sarah received a Bachelor of Science in Dietetics from Wayne State University, in Michigan and completed a dietetic practicum through the University of Alberta upon moving back to Canada.
Sarah is a ‘non-diet’ dietitian that uses many different strategies to connect and help guide people to freedom in their relationship with food and their bodies. She is an active member of the College of Dietitians of Alberta. She has over 13 years of experience working in the field of Eating Disorders. Sarah supports all people from a trauma-informed lens and has training in motivational interviewing, cognitive behaviour therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, polyvagal theory and family-based therapy for the treatment of Eating Disorders.
Originally from Ontario, Sarah was fortunate enough to obtain an athletic scholarship to the United States to play university softball. Sarah was also a competitive dancer into her late teens and can relate to what it is like to live in a world of unattainable standards of perfection, mixed messages connected to food and body and identity-based struggles.
Sarah founded FED Nutrition to provide support to those struggling with food and mood in the community, to offer faith-based encouragement to those that would like it, and to have the flexibility to raise her three children and still work in a field that she is so very passionate about.
She is committed to serving others and walking alongside them to support lasting change. No matter how big or small one’s nutrition-related “story” is, Sarah believes each individual deserves the opportunity to work in a safe environment with someone who is dedicated to providing sound advice, compassionate care and a client-centered approach.
Sarah loves Friday night pizza and movie night with her family, farmers markets in the summer, church on Sundays and binge-watching a good TV series every now and then!
