Heather Deranja, RDN, LD, MA

I started as a registered dietitian working at a corporate health club as a Nutrition Program Coordinator. I have also worked in clinical settings such as long-term care over the years, but now I own and operate my own practice. Since becoming a RDN, I've gotten a master's degree in Multidisciplinary Health Communications specializing in Behavioral Theory, and most recently completed my NASM personal training certification to bring another aspect of knowledge to my practice.

Suzanne Weldon, RD, LD, CDE

I teach the importance of nutrition & meal planning based on a client’s individual needs. I additionally teach diabetes self-management training to those with pre-diabetes & diabetes.

Marjorie Geiser, RD, MBA, BCC

Dietitians in both business and as employees are making more money, understand marketing, and are known as THE experts in helping people achieve their health-related goals.

Sarah Remmer, RD, CDE

I have always worked in private practice to some degree, but have also worked in the hospital, in gyms and in private clinics. When I had my first baby, I decided to focus exclusively on baby and kids’ nutrition (specifically educating parents on how to best feed their families and nurture a healthy relationship with food) as well as disordered eating patterns in the teenage years and adulthood (and how to prevent these behaviours from an early age). I discovered blogging and have slowly transitioned from in-person counselling to educating a wider audience through the creation of online resources, writing and blogging for parents of babies and young kids.

Jennifer House, RD, MSc

I’m passionate about getting babies off on the right foot with breastfeeding, starting solids at the right time with good foods, and establishing a healthy feeding relationship. This will affect the child for their whole life!

Brooke Bulloch, RD

Having exposure to various roles early in my career, I gained a variety of skills specific to those areas of dietetics. So, I suppose I have front line experience. I have learned how to connect with individuals and the importance of hearing their stories; I have gained confidence and insight to recognize my strengths and limitations; I take opportunities to learn and develop where possible. The day I feel I know everything about nutrition and dietetics is the day I fail as a dietitian. I will be forever learning, growing, and expanding on my education.
