Holistic Nutritional Counseling Halifax, NS

“The rejection of guilt and fear in connection with food selection. We can approach food as our ally, our teacher, and our rudder. It will nourish us if well chosen, if incorrectly chosen, it will teach us some lessons about our body that we may or may not heed. If we make mistakes in food selection, either perversely or in ignorance, we will have to pay for it, so why feel guilty on top of that? The results of our eating choices, if negative, should be considered information, not punishment.” –Annemarie Colbin, author of Food & Healing.

What is an RHN?

As a  Registered Holistic Nutritionist, Laurissa Manning is a professional educated in the field of Natural Nutrition. RHNs inform you about the health benefits of natural foods and allow you to experience how optimal nutrition affects your overall wellbeing. An RHN works with you to design a nutritional strategy to enhance your health and work toward achieving your personal goals.

RHNs help you to choose food wisely, which is particularly valuable in today's media dominated world. Food industries influence our exposure to products through advertising, which is often misleading and may impact our belief in what is healthy.

Services include providing specific food suggestions, sport nutrition, individualized eating plans, lifestyle modifications, supplement suggestions, weight loss, weight management, educational resources and one-on-one learning opportunities. RHN's perform an in depth assessment and interview of your current symptoms, state of digestion and your typical lifestyle behaviours. They make recommendations to assist you in living a healthier and more energetic life.

Natural Nutrition supports the use of good quality foods that are whole and alive. It's about eating to enhance health while creating flavourful meals for your particular needs. RHNs encourage the use of healthy alternatives to processed and packaged foods and discourage toxic lifestyle choices.

RHN's consider the aspects of the mind, body and spirit when discussing the connection between food and health.
