About Christie – Make Food Fun Again

Hello! I’m Christie, a Registered Dietitian with over 20 years of experience. In addition to working at a busy children’s hospital, I’m also a mom to an active, outdoors-loving family. Whether biking, hiking, or skiing in the mountains, we prioritize staying active and making it home in time for family dinners and a walk with our dog. While we’re not perfect, we value family meals and make time for them as often as we can.

If meal times in your household have become a challenge due to picky eating, you’re not alone. Many parents feel the need to prepare multiple meals to satisfy everyone. My goal is to help you regain confidence in what to serve at meals and create strategies to foster your child’s natural curiosity about food, making mealtime enjoyable again.

I specialize in using the Division of Responsibility by Ellyn Satter, Dr. Kay Toomey’s SOS (Sequential Oral Sensory) Approach to Feeding, and Responsive Feeding Therapy. This approach helps children build a positive relationship with food, at their own pace, while encouraging new food discoveries in a stress-free way.

Professional Credentials:

• Registered Dietitian & Nutritionist
• BSc in Nutrition and Food Sciences (University of Alberta)
• Member of the Alberta College of Dietitians

If you’re ready to explore virtual nutrition consultations for yourself or your family, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
