hello i'm paula
I am a Registered Massage Therapist and a Certified Holistic Nutrition Consultant.
I was a homeschool parent for many years to my three incredible kids, when I began to feel the need for more of my own intellectual stimulation, and so I decided to go back to school part time and get my diploma in massage therapy. I had always wanted to work in a service type field, as well as working in alternative healthcare. Jumping ahead 10 years later, I continued to pursue my passion of wellness and health and attended the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition, graduating with a diploma in holistic nutrition.
I truly love working with clients that want to take a proactive approach to their health. I support people with current imbalances and examine potential root causes of illness and physical dysfunction. I take a holistic approach with clients and consider all aspects of their life including environment, sleeping patterns, stress levels, mindset and physical movement.
My personal health journey began almost 10 years ago. I struggled with severe eczema, and serious digestive issues. I pursued help from colleagues who were all from different health backgrounds, my GP, dermatologists, gastroenterologists and naturopathic doctors. I was desperate, hopeless, exhausted, under nourished and sad. Fast forward to today, and I am a healthy and thriving 40 something year old woman, but I didn’t get here without plenty of my own investigating and inquiry. I had to get involved in my own health, taking control, and not handing my power over to someone who I thought cared more about my health than I did. I read books and articles, listened to health podcasts, talked to people about their experiences, asking what did and didn’t help. Taking all that I had learned, my health began to improve. I felt so empowered and motivated to help others who might be struggling with similar health issues, that I decided to go back to school and pursue my diploma in holistic nutrition. Now I am helping people overcome all kinds of health issues, by showing them that they too can have the power to heal themselves, if they have the right knowledge and tools available. I feel so grateful everyday that I get to support, educate and inspire others.
