Emily Bitz

Hi! I’m Emily.

I am a Registered Holistic Nutritionist (RHN), who also holds a BA in Psychology. I strongly believe that mental health & nutrition are interconnected.

An RHN works from the whole-body approach. We don’t focus on one symptom; we look at the whole body and how optimally it is functioning. I may bring in aspects of the nervous system, relationships & boundaries, or we may stick to mostly discussing food intake and healthy choices.

Some questions I may ask:

Are you getting enough sleep?

Can you set a boundary?

How are your relationships?

Yes, we look at your diet, but that isn’t the whole picture. What you do outside of eating is just as important. We believe that your body has the ability to heal when given the right tools, and no those tools aren’t restrictions and fad diets!

I personally advocate for eating in a way your grandma would recognize. I make nutrition easy & accessible even for those who don’t enjoy cooking, who are short on time, or who have no knowledge of nutrition at all.

Outside of work, I enjoy walks in the forest and cooking a good meal. I live in Courtenay on Vancouver Island with my fiancé.

I look forward to interacting with you! Feel free to email me if you have any questions or concerns about working with me.
