Feeling your best begins with you

Holistic Nutrition is the study and interrelationship, beyond nutrition, of an individual’s physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health; the mind-body-spirit connection. It enables a healthy lifestyle by promoting:

• nutritional intake through the consumption of natural and whole foods

• activity and/or exercise specific to the individual’s capacity and needs

• mindfulness techniques and improved sleep routines as an approach to stress management

• overall reduction of exposure to heavy metals and other toxic substances that might negatively impact a person’s health or further irritate their current health problems

Registered Holistic Nutritionist (R.H.N.) is a credible professional designation rooted from a comprehensive, science-based, and people-focused Natural Nutrition Program (diploma) with the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition (CSNN).

Graduates and Alumni of the program, who successfully pass the program examination, are appointed the designation and expected to follow a Scope of Practice and Code of Ethics.

While anyone can market themselves as a Nutritionist without regulation, working with an R.H.N. can offer individuals and families the peace of mind they’re in good hands and partnering with a credible professional who has undergone intense training, testing and is subject to industry best practices.

In general, individuals and families will seek the services of a Registered Holistic Nutritionist (RHN) when challenged with a certain ailment, health condition, or medical event; whether it be major/minor or acute/chronic and especially one that might be significantly impacting their quality of life.

This engagement can be through the recommendation of a medical doctor or professional and/or a naturopathic doctor or alternative health professional advising their patients and clients to improve diet, exercise, stress management, sleep patterns, or any other component to achieving a healthier lifestyle.

Otherwise, individuals and families who have a strong desire to make positive, impactful, and sustainable lifestyle changes often seek the services of an R.H.N. on their own to become better educated and receive the help and guidance they need to achieve a life of improved health, greater longevity, and feeling better overall.

The Consultation

To be sure we’re the right fit, Fire and Spice Lifestyle offers a complimentary 45-minute consultation.

In this consultation, we’ll discuss your health concerns and goals along with reviewing the service list (with prices) and the ways these services can help.

Any additional questions or concerns you might have will also be answered during this session - free of charge and without any pressure!

When deciding to invest in your health, it’s important to select a professional you naturally connect with and feel you can trust. The consultation is designed to ensure we’re a match.

The Health Assessment

Once you have committed to investing in taking control and improving your health, the service will begin with an in-depth health assessment that will map out your current health profile along with a plan to improve it.

To perform the health assessment, you’ll be required to complete a number of questionnaires related to your current lifestyle. If preferred, you can request to complete the forms in a targeted session together with the R.H.N.

Next, the R.H.N will create and provide you with an analysis in the form of a report that draws connections between your symptoms, problematic health concerns and body systems, and goals - think of it as a blueprint! This analysis will help you visualize your potentially problematic dietary lifestyle habits and select which ones you want to resolve first.

The report will also include a list of recommendations, sample meal plan, and direction on how to integrate these new recommended habits into your existing lifestyle.

The health assessment takes place over a duration of approximately 2-4 weeks. In this time, the client is free to contact (message or email) the nutritionist at any time with questions or for further help and advice. Included is one consulting session to review and discuss the health assessment results and answer any questions.

Additional Consulting Sessions

For clients requiring ongoing coaching and guidance, additional consulting sessions may be purchased either a la cart or as part of a package. Since lifestyle habits do not change overnight and require some nurturing over time, the more coaching sessions purchased, the greater the discount.

Additional consulting sessions take place every 2-3 weeks for clients beginning their journey and requiring more frequent attention before shifting to sessions every 4-6 weeks for clients who have settled into their new routines and find themselves generally comfortable with their recommendations and new habits.

In this time, the client is free to contact (message or email) the nutritionist at any time with questions or for further help and advice.

Registered Dieticians are regulated professionals apart of the medical health industry with a single focus on dietary lifestyle as it aligns and relates to the national food guide.

Registered Holistic Nutritionists, on the other hand, are designated professionals apart of the natural health industry with a holistic focus on dietary lifestyle as it aligns and relates to the consumption of whole and nutritious foods, supplementation, personalized activity and exercise, lowered stress, improved sleep, and the reduction of daily exposure to toxins.

A Registered Holistic Nutritionist (RHN) recognizes that each individual is biochemically unique and that mind-body-spirit connection will differ between each client. The goal of the RHN is to provide client’s with a personalized profile, health assessment, and action plan that is unique to their own self and lifestyle.

The service is not a one-size-fits-all mindset and will not provide general recommendations from a standardized resource or offer suggestions that can further impact the client’s gut health or main concerns. Rather than recommending processed foods full of additives (preservatives, sugar, or supplementary nutrients), the RHN will select clean, whole, and nutritious foods straight from the Earth to integrate into the client’s holistic health plan.

Every group benefit program is different and the services covered will vary from person to person.

While it’s always best to contact the group benefits provider directly for confirmation, many benefit plans will either cover nutritionist services under the client’s main policy or will accept the service as part of the client’s wellness credits(personal spending account) , if applicable.

If uncertain, you may contact us for further support and assistance in navigating this concern.

To confirm with your group benefits provider, call their customer service line and request confirmation if your policy covers: Registered Holistic Nutritionist (RHN) regulated by the governing body: Canadian School of Natural Nutrition (CSNN / CSNNAA).
