Julia Besner Registered Dietitian

MPH, RD

I have a Bachelor of Science in Applied Human Nutrition from Mount St. Vincent University and have been practicing as a Registered Dietitian in various roles for over 15 years.

Coming from an athletic background, I always had a passion for performance nutrition and helping athletes fuel for their training and competitions. In recent years, my practice has evolved to helping clients explore their relationship with food and their bodies, as well as their barriers to healthy eating.

We all deserve food, but finding confidence and joy in eating can be difficult when having to manage chronic diseases or being faced with the many rules and judgements around food in our everyday lives. I meet my clients with curiosity and empathy and aim to foster autonomy and self-compassion in their relationship with food and eating.

I spent the pandemic years earning a graduate degree in Public Health and expanding my knowledge and skills in the treatment of disordered eating and eating disorders.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time outside with my family and friends. I love trail running, making music and paintings, and baking pastries. Food is a big part of my life, and I believe that connecting over food is one of the greatest joys in life.
