About Tania
Tania
decided to study Nutrition in
1999, after years of being chronically sick as a result of digestive
issues.
Tania experienced anxiety and low energy, and stopped exercising, as a result.
After several visits to various Doctors she was diagnosed with IBS.
Tania was
given prescription medications, which she never did take and has
been symptom free for the last eleven years.
Tania started researching complementary therapies, the
role of wholefoods in the diet and exercise. She started to walk and then
run, used natural remedies, revamped her diet, lost
weight, removing allergens and processed foods. Tania sought personal
counseling and began down a path that allowed her to work through the disorder
in her life. Slowly she began to bounce back. She was no longer getting sick
many times during the year and missing work. With increased energy Tania began
to run longer, started Yoga and reconnected friends and family, she continued to
experiment with new foods and overall felt like a new person.
It was then that Tania decided to change careers as a Law Clerk
and found a career that allowed her flexibility in her lifestyle to
start studies in Natural Nutrition, keep in contact with friends and
family, exercise and travel. In the past few years Tania has a renewed
confidence from completing her studies as a Registered Holistic
Nutritionist
through The Canadian School of Natural Nutrition, courses through
University of Waterloo, along with continued diet and lifestyle
changes.
Tania received her designation as a Registered
Nutritional Consultant Practitioner through
the International Organization
of Nutritional Consultants (IONC) and operates her private nutrition
& wellness practices in Cambridge and
Waterloo, ON where she sees clients on a daily basis and does workshops
and
lectures on nutrition and well-being. Further, Tania has completed the
Post-Partum Doula workshop, Lactation Management (20hr,WHO/Unicef)
course, was former Chair of Cambridge Community Breastfeeding Group
(current member) and is a Breastfeeding Buddy. Tania is currently
working towards her Lactation Consultant certification through www.americas.iblce.org. Her first published
article "Anatomy of my Spirit" was featured in the March 2007 edition
of Canada's alive
magazine. Third year McMaster University Midwifery students do a
two-week mentorship placement with Yellowood to learn about the many
facets of care clients receive.
Tania's lifestyle has changed greatly as she has taken control
over her own health, most notably reversing her IBS and living completely
symptom free! Through these experiences she realizes the importance of
educating others with all she has learned. With a renewed sense of self she
has participated in Adventure Races, has run a half-marathon and full-marathon,
and in the spring of 2004 completed a Pilgrimage, El Camino de Santiago,
in northern Spain, walking over 800 km's in 32 days. This Pilgrimage
enhanced
her sense of well-being and served as a strong reminder of her passion
to
continue educating others about the benefits of holistic healing.
Tania's family, friends and peers are all inspirations and
have helped along her own Camino.
