About me

In her practice as a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, Olesia takes a whole-person, evidence-based approach to health, harnessing the power of food, lifestyle, and mindset to support the body’s natural ability to heal and thrive. Recognizing that food habits don’t exist in isolation, she considers not just what her clients eat, but also how they live, think, and feel.

Living by the phrase “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit”, Olesia believes in the transformative power of small, consistent actions, helping her clients build sustainable habits that align with their true selves.

Olesia is convinced that education empowers us to make better choices. Her passion for breaking down complex concepts into engaging content will immerse you in the fascinating workings of your body without boredom or overwhelm.

background & education

Olesia’s journey into the food world began in her early 20s when she moved from Ukraine to Paris to study at the renowned Le Cordon Bleu culinary school. She then relocated to New York, where she worked for years in prestigious, high-pressure restaurants. However, the intense chef’s lifestyle eventually led to many health issues.

After struggling with gut, metabolic, and vestibular conditions without proper support, Olesia discovered holistic healthcare. Her passion for food inspired her to become a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, receiving formal training from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition in Victoria, BC.

Today, she combines her culinary expertise, nutritional knowledge, and multicultural experiences to offer a practical approach to wellness. In addition to her private practice, Olesia designs and teaches Holistic Culinary Diploma classes at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition.
