A graduate of the Canadian School for Natural Nutrition and the University of Toronto’s anthropology specialist program, she has counselled clients with a wide variety of medical conditions, including HIV/AIDS, endometriosis, women’s health, diabetes, food allergies and digestive tract disorders. Her studies in medical anthropology took her to a hospital in northern Namibia, where she studied the geopolitical obstacles local residents faced when accessing nutritious food. During her internship, she had the chance to study how access to food impacted HIV transmission and patient outcomes.
