hi there!
I’m Selena
And, I’m celiac too. As the go-to dietitian on everything gluten free, I help people master the gluten-free diet so they can eat with confidence and thrive with celiac disease. I take the ‘complicated’ out of the GF diet, and give you the practical and realistic advice you need so you can still live your life!
My Story
I was diagnosed with celiac disease right before I graduated as a dietitian and, my doctor mentioned, “well you’re celiac. But, you’re almost a dietitian right? So, this should be easy for you!”
No referral. No handout. Nothing.
I ended up doing what you should never do which is turning to Dr. Google, FB groups, and more to get help. The amount of misinformation found on the internet in astounding.
The first few years of diagnosis were a turbulent time for me as the information I found made me feel overwhelmed, filled with anxiety and I, honestly, felt like my foodie life was over.
I’m sure you can relate to this?
Beyond the GF diet, I continued to experience persistent symptoms and the only answers given to me were “to eat more fiber” or “be more strict with the diet” which were, absolutely, not helpful.
I couldn’t go on being scared of food and letting celiac dictate my life. So, I gained a deeper understanding of celiac disease through additional, professional experiences and celiac focused courses. And, once I did, I was able to put my worries at ease and safely expand my social life. I figured out why I still felt unwell which had nothing to do with not being strict enough and I found my gluten free, happy place.
I am passionate about helping you do the same. If you fear food, feel overwhelmed, or you’re desperate for symptom relief, I am here to guide you through the signature process I have created so you can live the vibrant, GF life that you deserve.
My Philosophy
I’m a dietitian living with celiac disease who believes in taking a holistic approach to celiac disease management which prioritizes your physical, mental, emotional, and social wellbeing. This is because celiac disease impacts your whole life, not just your physical health.
I know that a vibrant and fulfilling gluten free life is possible for you. And, I am on a mission to take the ‘complicated’ out of the gluten free diet so you can fall back in love with food and your body.
What to expect:
- Gluten free guidance that is based on the most up to date science and research
- Practical, real life skills for a smooth GF transition
- Knowledge that helps you confidently navigate social situations
- Simple, easy to digest nutrition education that supports gut healing and symptoms
- Mind and body support to help overcome emotional challenges on the GF journey
Fun Facts

I have a gluten free bakery addiction. I search for them high and low whenever we travel and have an international list on the go.
I love to bake and will spend hours baking in the kitchen to perfect a gluten free cinnamon bun, cake, cookie, muffin, or cupcake!
I absolutely love a good coffee. And, I love hitting up coffee shops in my local town. Brew me your best almond milk latte and I’m one happy camper.
I live in wine country (Kelowna, BC!) and l love a good rose.
