Specializing in natural weight release, habit modification, mood and energy enhancement
Audrey is an RHN, and graduated from CSNN with a Certificate of Distinguished Merit. She is also a CCP (Certified Coach Practitioner), PO (Professional Organizer), and has a BA in Psychology. In addition to her formal training, Audrey has discovered the value of a whole foods diet and active lifestyle as a result of her own journey through obesity and depression. It has truly been a lifetime of learning, and she is now dedicated to assisting others who want to take control of their health, and their appetites, get off the processed food, convenience and fast foods, and quick-fix gimmicks, and are ready to develop a new relationship with food and their bodies. Through her education, experience with clients, and her own personal journey, Audrey has developed an approach with clients that, while empathic and intuitive, are also no-nonsense. Her belief is that she will do you no service if she "sugar-coats" what she has to tell you... after all, sugar is empty calories and a sugar-coated message is just an empty promise. Audrey can also relate to those who have a busy lifestyle, who don't have the time, or perhaps don't really enjoy cooking.... either does she! And so, while we all have to make time for food shopping and preparation, Audrey finds ways to keep this to a minimum. When working with Audrey, you can expect to get an understanding partner, and a practical, goal-inspired coach!
Clients have said...
Hi Audrey,
I just have to tell you how ecstatic I am with this new eating regime you have introduced me to. For the first time in my life I am losing weight consistently, month after month, even without having yet added your recommendations for exercise. My energy levels have really picked up and I’m actually looking forward to weighing in, each month. I will definitely be recommending your work to all my friends. -Gini, 57
I was feeling sluggish, tired and low energy all the time. After my evaluation with Audrey and her nutrition plan I feel like the old me and I am only less than half way through the recommended time period. She has always been available for questions and any concerns I have had. I recommend her to anyone who wants to look and feel better. -Caprice, 37

Giovanna is a Registered Holistic Nutritionist from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition and a Licensed Holistic Allergist with The Institute of Natural Health Technologies.
Her passion for health and wellness was ignited years ago through a personal battle with her health. In her own words: As I became more aware of alternatives in the health field and witnessed the changes in my life I began to think, "Why don’t more people know about this?" Having researched and learned so much on her own she decided that she would make it her life's mission to share and educate others on natural health. NuHealth & Wellness was created with a single goal in mind; to educate, inspire and empower the individual to take their health into their own hands, in order to live a balanced healthy life!
Giovanna's studies at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition have added to the last 10 years of education on the use of various supplements and alternative modalities to further the wellbeing of others. Giovanna is also a Reiki Practitioner and is currently studying at the Ontario College of Homeopathic Medicine, where she will graduate as a Homeopathic Doctor in 2010.
Congratulations on taking the first step on your journey to natural health and wellness!
Many thanks,

Dinner Parties-How to accommodate all allergies by Candace Schnier, RHN, RNCP
- By Candace Schnier
- Published 03/24/2009

My husband and I love to entertain friends by hosting dinner parties in our home. We have become very good at doing this. Our friends rave about our parties and look forward to being invited. I attribute our success to our careful attention to details, such as who we invite, will they enjoy each others company, creating an attractive environment through flowers, candles, and music and of course preparing delicious food that everybody will enjoy. We exert a lot of energy and take time to assure that our guests will be pleased; and so there is nothing more disappointing than having a guest that cannot or will not eat the food that you have worked so hard to prepare for them. Over the years I have learned that it is in everyone’s best interest to ask our guests in advance if there is any food that they are allergic to, or simply prefer not to eat for whatever reasons. This information allows me to plan a menu that will cater to all my guests and insures that no one is disappointed or goes home hungry.
Food allergies must be taken seriously because a food allergy can trigger a response in the body that can be severe and even life threatening. Although people with food intolerances can eat a small amount of the problem item without too much difficulty, there are some people with food allergies severe enough to cause anaphylactic reactions; reactions that can be fatal.
Preparing a menu to accommodate a guest or guests with allergies doesn’t have to be hard. First, ask your guests if there are any foods they are allergic to or cannot tolerate; (have them make a list for you if necessary) and, if you have pets, warn your guests because many people who have food allergies may also have pet allergies. Next you have to make a choice and this is where it can become a challenge. Do you want to prepare a separate meal for the guest with the food allergy or prepare a menu allergy free that everyone can eat?
One of the most common food allergies is gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, oats, rye and barley. Anything made with these foods cannot be eaten and all labels must be carefully reviewed by anyone allergic to gluten. Some of our friends suffer from Celiac disease, a medical condition in which the lining of the small intestines is damaged by gluten. Sometimes I will cook a separate meal for these friends, or provide gluten free substitutes for parts of the meal. Rice, and products made with rice, are a safe alternative. Many health food stores sell gluten free products and there are many gluten free recipes that are readily available in cook books or via the internet.
Other common allergenic foods are seafood, soy, eggs, chocolate, peanuts and strawberries.
Whatever the food item is, it should be avoided; you must either leave it out of the food that you prepare for the allergic guest or leave it out of everyone’s food. You may have to do some research to find a substitute ingredient. Work with your guest, discuss the menu with them and figure out alternatives. In difficult cases, your guest may volunteer to bring his or her own food. If so, don’t feel too bad as I am sure that your guest will enjoy an evening out with good company and gracious hospitality provided by you, the host.
