Anna Kandola, RD, BScAHN
Registered Dietitian
Hello, I’m Anna, a Registered Dietitian, Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor, and Kinesiologist.
I provide holistic, person-centred nutrition and movement counselling that recognizes the importance of individual experiences, cultural food practices, and personal health goals. My approach emphasizes collaboration. I believe clients are active members of their care team, and that sustainable progress is built through realistic, evidence-informed strategies tailored to each person’s needs.
My practice is grounded in a weight-inclusive philosophy, supporting clients in building a positive and peaceful relationship with food and body. I help individuals reduce food-related stress, cravings, and guilt while developing confidence in their ability to nourish themselves and move their bodies in ways that feel good.
With a dual background in nutrition and kinesiology, I integrate functional movement and exercise planning into my care, helping clients set practical, achievable fitness goals that promote overall health and well-being. I practice using an evidence-based framework that also honours cultural knowledge and diverse ways of knowing. My focus is on nutrition by addition rather than restriction, encouraging clients to expand their diet quality while maintaining enjoyment and flexibility.
Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, running, skiing, speed skating and spending time in the kitchen exploring new recipes.
