Meet the Ignite Nutrition Team

Hi! I’m Marlee! I’m a registered dietitian trained at St. Francis Xavier in Nova Scotia. I’ve been practicing as a dietitian since 2015.

When it comes to food, I'm a realist. Through my own experience learning how to meal prep, plan and cook I live by the philosophy that food should be simple, nutritious, and easy to prepare.

My style involves getting to know you, starting with what brought you here. My priority is to include you every step of the way and find solutions as unique as you are. Creating a plan together is the best way to see lasting results that make a BIG impact on your health, wellness, and happiness!

I specialize in:

• IBS
• Digestive disorders
• Fatty liver disease & NASH
• Nutrition for disease prevention and management
• Intuitive eating & food relationship
• Meal prep and planning (the ‘practical stuff’)

Let's connect and start your journey towards a healthy, sustainable life!

Hi! I’m Kirsten White, A Registered Provisional Psychologist and Canadian Certified Counsellor.

My approach to therapy is client-centred and holistic. I use my knowledge of neurobiology and attachment to help my clients overcome phobias, learn valuable stress management skills, and overall empower clients to have a strong awareness of their own mind and body. I meet my clients where they are at and together strengthen awareness of old patterns that no longer serve us and create new ones.  Ideally we work towards creating a healthy balance with our body, mind, and environment.

I have specialized training in therapies such as; EMDR, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Motivational Interviewing, Art Therapy and I utilize mindfulness based therapies, CBT, and behavioural therapies.
