Hi there, I'm Keely.

I'm a highly experienced and successful Nutrition Therapist with a thriving practice I love. 

When I started my coaching practice as a Registered Dietitian, I slowly realized that what I offered my clients was not actually helping them address the root of the problem.  

I could see what they needed, I just didn't have the training or skills to help them. 

I floundered. I made mistakes... so many mistakes, but I learned from every one of them. 

I returned to school and invested in myself. I earned a Ph.D., re-trained as a Coach, and became a Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor.

In the Nourish & Thrive Program, I have taken my 20 years of experience as a Registered Dietitian and all that learning to create a clear path forward for women who want to build a healthier relationship with food and their body. 

​This program allows you to cut through the chaos, and connect with like-minded women on a similar path.
