Joanna Parkin, RD, MSc.

Joanna Parkin is a registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator based in beautiful Squamish, BC. Her passions for nutrition and family health were sparked while working in the Vancouver fitness industry as a community event organizer, barre instructor, and spin class teacher. 

 

Since completing an MSc. in Dietetics and Clinical Nutrition at University College Dublin, she has practiced in areas such as pre- and postnatal nutrition, celiac disease, pediatric oncology, diabetes, endocrinology, and cystic fibrosis. She continues to practice in acute and outpatient pediatric care settings at children’s hospitals and clinics.

 

At NourishYou, we get it - mealtimes can feel stressful! Within nutrition, Joanna discovered that her deepest enjoyment comes from working with families to reduce stress associated with mealtimes and feeding routines. By working with her clients to increase feeding confidence, conquer food fears, and manage dietary restrictions, she helps make mealtimes feel simple, fun, and natural. 

 

Listening and learning about your lifestyle and specific concerns are at the root of providing creative, yet evidence-based advice. Joanna’s non-judgmental and collaborative approach will give you the confidence and resources needed to make progress towards your nutrition goals. 

 

Outside of the office, she continues to stay in touch with her love of movement and well-being by spending time on ski slopes, on the volleyball court, or out with her dog. She enjoys exploring the intersection of environmental stewardship and nutrition, and is an advocate for sustainability in all aspects of life.
