Holistic Nutrition Services in Ottawa and Kanata

Nutrition plays a foundational role in health across all stages of life. From fertility and pregnancy to postpartum recovery, childhood, and beyond, what we eat influences energy, mood, digestion, hormone balance, and overall well-being.

At Rooted Family Wellness Centre, our Holistic Nutritionist provides personalized, evidence-informed nutrition support for individuals and families in Ottawa, Kanata, and surrounding areas. Our approach recognizes that every person is biochemically unique and that nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle strategies should be tailored to the individual.

We offer holistic nutrition support for adults, children, and families, with a special focus on fertility, perinatal, postpartum, and pediatric nutrition.
