Jasna is a Registered Dietitian (RD) and Nutrition Consultant based in Ottawa, Canada. She believes in a non-dieting, weight-inclusive approach and that your food experience should ultimately be enjoyable! She aims to create an environment where people feel empowered to learn skills and make lasting changes. Jasna uses intuitive eating as the foundation for helping clients develop behaviours they feel good about. Jasna graduated from McGill University with a Masters Degree (MSc) in Human Nutrition and a Bachelors Degree (BSc) in Dietetics and Human Nutrition. Her masters thesis focused on infant feeding in Ghana, West Africa. Since then, she has worked as a dietitian in Canada and New Zealand in the areas of public health, clinical nutrition and community and has worked with urban indigenous peoples in both countries. Jasna is a Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE) and also has expertise in prenatal, postnatal and infant nutrition, disordered eating and emotional eating, and in helping people create a happy relationship with food while managing chronic conditions. Jasna has experience facilitating healthy cooking classes and presenting to small and large groups. She has delivered workshops to health care professionals and taught nutrition to nurses at CPIT college in New Zealand. Jasna has written articles for print and electronic media including Keeping On Magazine and Healthinfo. She has also contributed to the food and nutrition textbook Culinary Rehab. Jasna is bilingual in French and English. Jasna's Story: For as long as I can remember, I've had a life-threatening (anaphylactic) allergy to peanuts and tree nuts, and until my twenties I was also allergic to cow's milk. Much of my childhood was spent reading food labels, abstaining from birthday cake and having to stay home during school field trips. At least my mom was a fabulous cook and took the time to create allergy-safe treats to help dampen the pangs of missing out! When it came time to decide on post-secondary school, I knew I wanted to help others who struggle with food because I believe that everyone deserves to love what they eat and that food shouldn't stop you from living your life fully.
