Anika, Nourishing Balance Registered Dietitian

Anika Dhalla

Intuitive Eating Focused Registered Dietitian

Languages Spoken: Hindi, English

I have always enjoyed food and the experience of trying different cultural cuisines through the years of travelling around the world. I am so lucky to be able to try all sorts of foods from fresh fruits from the trees of South America to the hot street foods of Egypt. I graduated from the University of Manitoba and was able to further my travels for my research. These opportunities were essential steps to better understanding colonialism and its effects on the food system in many different communities. I love to explore all foods that fit into my pescatarian diet, while still honouring the customs and culture of the food practices celebrated around the world. I not practice as an intuitive eating-focused registered dietitian helping people heal their relationship with food.

I speak English and Hindi (and a mix of Hin-glish). I take an intuitive eating approach to my dietetic practice, which focuses on your relationship with food.  I work with individuals and provide a holistic approach to nutrition. Specifically, I work with people who live with chronic illnesses like Diabetes, IBS, GERD and so much more, all while focusing on the foods that are eaten and what can be done to work with you rather than prescribing you a diet or restricting your lifestyle. I also work with individuals who have eating disorders or disordered eating patterns. This approach is supportive and provides my clients with guidance that is based on their individualized needs and helps them creating sustainable habits grounded in intuitive eating.
