About Me
Hi, I’m Amelia, thank you for being here.
My passion for nutrition began at an early age when I felt called to work in the health sciences field in high school. My pursuit to become a Registered Dietitian (RD) felt organic and intuitive as I was highly interested in science, nutrition and experimenting in the kitchen.
After graduating in 2014 from the UBC dietetics program and working clinically for 3 years in a busy hospital I felt I needed something more, both from an educational perspective and from an offering perspective. I felt I wasn’t quite done learning, and wanted to expand my knowledge, deeper, into the body. Massage Therapy was the perfect addition to my nutrition practice as I gained more insight into how the body works while also developing skills to provide a non-invasive form of care. I was able to move back home to Victoria, from the Interior of BC where I was working as an RD, and begin my massage therapy training at the West Coast College of Massage Therapy.
Completing two programs before the age of 28 was a journey, however I fondly look back at my time spent as a student. I have made life long friendships and have been taught by some incredible teachers.
I truly love what I do and am grateful to work so closely with so many people who trust me with their care.
Outside of work I enjoy long distance running, cooking and baking and spending time with close friends and family.

Inclusive Care
My work fills me up, body, mind and spirit. I am grateful for the opportunity and privilege to provide two different forms of care to those in need. My practice is size inclusive and Health At Every Size (HAES) aligned, every body is welcome.
With respect, I acknowledge the Lekwungen speaking peoples on whose traditional territory Own Health stands and the Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
