All while embracing a non-secular approach to the unique concepts of the individual soul or sense of spirit. Incorporating honour & support for belief systems or the absence of.

Hi, I’m Melissa, a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and Certified Nutrition Practitioner. With over 12 years as a bedside nurse, I’ve spent my career supporting people through some of life’s most vulnerable moments – alongside navigating my own personal health challenges. Both experiences revealed the gaps in traditional medicine and shaped my belief that true healing happens when care is individualized, compassionate, and built on trust. That belief is what led me to become a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and Certified Nutrition Practitioner.

I ground my nutrition therapy in tailored support designed for you – a space where you’re heard, and to always have a safe space for support.

Today, I help women restore energy, rebalance hormones, and feel more connected to their bodies through a whole-body approach. Each client receives practical, personalized nutrition and lifestyle strategies, and when appropriate, strategic supplementation they can begin implementing right away.

Your well-being matters, and you deserve care that’s thoughtful, personalized, and rooted in compassion. I’m honored to be part of your journey and excited to support you as you move toward your wellness goals.

I am a registered Social Worker in Ontario, Canada. I draw from a variety of evidence-based methodologies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Existential therapy, among others. I take a pragmatic approach to my work and tailor how I work with clients, based upon their needs, goals and interests. I see my clinical work as highly relational and collaborative.

Common issues I have worked with clients on include anxiety, depression, significant life transitions, extended family caregiving and relationship conflict.

I have experienced health challenges and involvement in the healthcare system, as well as supporting close family going through significant health issues. These experiences have inspired me to work with clients confronted with health problems and chronic pain for themselves or family members, as well as women’s health concerns.

I am currently taking on individual clients, but expect to start working with couples in the near future.

I started my 25 + year career in applied social work and social services work, supporting vulnerable individuals and families. I also have a Ph.D. in Cultural Anthropology, and have worked as an Assistant, then Associate, Professor of Social Work in Canada and New Zealand for seven years. I have taught clinical interviewing, theory, policy, and research methods courses, among others. This has provided me with a strong foundation to provide evidence-based care to the people I work with. If you would like to know more about my academic career, see my academic website (www.gretchenperry.ca).

I look forward to helping you work on your goals.
