Together, we can take the brave steps towards recovery.
Shawna Melbourn is a Registered Dietitian, Certified Eating Disorder Registered Dietitian, and an Intuitive Eating Counsellor. Shawna is Ottawa-based and provides virtual nutrition care and support for eating disorder recovery, disordered eating, and the backlash of chronic dieting.
I believe that nutrition care for eating disorder support should be deeply rooted in compassionate, inclusive, non-judgemental, and individualized.
Individual Treatment.
Your relationship with your food and body matters. And so should your individual treatment plan. Together, let’s navigate the complexities and nuances of your eating disorder experience, while helping you to grow your confidence with nourishment, self-care and well-bing. Care is offered for individuals across the age, gender, and body spectrum.
Families and Caregivers.
While we know eating disorders are about food, we also know they aren’t - all at the same time! It is this dichotomy that connects our emotional underpinnings and food itself. Together, we can unravel these complexities of your loved one’s eating disorder, while providing you with the guidance and support you need to best support your loved one.
