About me
Who am I?
Hi, I'm Iva. I am a Kitchener-Waterloo-based Registered Holistic Nutritionist, receiving my Nutritional diploma in 2016. I specialize in personalized nutritional analysis to address various health conditions, helping individuals make small, realistic alterations to their daily routines through supplements, homeopathy, mushrooms, spices, essential oils, and more. I have been working with clients since 2016 and have recently added Applied Iridology to my professional practice to help give my clients a more tangible view of the issues they may be facing. I do this by looking at a person's eyes to determine any physical ailments or weaknesses in the body systems that may be present.
Why do I believe in the holistic approach?
At this point in my life, I've had three unexpectedly enlightening experiences with a holistic approach to my health. My first experience was during my teens when my parents took me to a naturopathic doctor after many years of unsuccessful medical treatment for my rare eye condition. My second experience was my son’s reaction to vaccination. The third was my mom’s battle with cancer. In these three instances, I saw amazing progress when a holistic approach was added to the mainstream treatment. The positive results I saw in my own life and the lives of those around me made me believe in the power of nature and the ability of the body to heal if given the right support.
