Meet Nakisa Saxton

Certified Nutritional Practitioner (CNP)

 

Nakisa Saxton earned her diploma in 2020 as a Certified Nutritional Practitioner from the Institute of Holistic Nutrition in Toronto. She is a member of the Canadian Association of Natural Nutritional Practitioners and has practiced as a holistic nutrition consultant in Toronto for three years. Her areas of expertise include digestive care, inflammatory conditions, nutrient deficiencies, disease prevention, stress management, and meal planning.

The philosophy of holistic nutrition is that one’s health is an expression of the complex interplay between the physical and chemical, mental and emotional, as well as spiritual and environmental aspects of one’s life and being. If an imbalance exists in the body, Nakisa's goal is to identify the root and underlying factors that are causing adverse symptoms. Although symptoms may resemble those of others, the root cause is often unique to the individual. Holistic nutritionists believe in the concept of bio-individuality acknowledging that each person requires unique approaches to attain optimal health.

To achieve this after an in-depth assessment, a range of strategies are employed, including personalized meal planning, medicinal diets featuring nourishing herbs and foods, tailored protocols with natural-sourced supplements (including vitamins and minerals) to address identified deficiencies or current needs, stress management techniques, and lifestyle recommendations.

Offering a safe and compassionate environment where people can share their stories, this space is inclusive, devoid of criticism and judgment. Above all, it is a place where you can embark on your health journey with confidence, knowing that you will receive unwavering support throughout the process. Nakisa fully engages her clients in their health recovery process and honors their innate wisdom by working in an empowering and cooperative manner to chart a course to optimal health.
