Hi, I’m Kirstie!
Big on D and Ms, Dark Chocolate, Coffee and Pinot Noir
I’m a Hamilton-based Registered Clinical Nutritionist, wife, mother of a busy toddler, reformed yo-yo dieter with a 10-year history of an eating disorder, WICKED PMS, and infertility issues that had me off work regularly, in and out of the docters office, on the IVF waitlist and in and out of fertility clinics (in which my options were - a hysterectomy, birth control or antidepressants to manage my symptoms.)
WTF!? At that time I was trying to get pregnant so how were those my only options!?
So, pissed off with the medical system, that we’re no help and treated me like I was a number, I got to work!
I dedicated the next 7 years to studying and 3 years to fixing my own infertility and gut issues in the hopes of being able to start a family.
I implemented everything I had learned and with the right practitioner on board to help me, I am so pleased to say that after 3 years of trying we had our first baby girl in September of 2019!
After sorting myself out, I opened my business in 2016 and I am now devoted to helping other women and their families with their health and fertility, as I know the struggle is real! and it really makes the difference to have a practitioner on board to help with the rollercoaster of the journey to health and true wellness.
Hi, I’m Charlotte!
Lover of ice cream, matcha lattes, good books, warm socks and all things personal growth.
For years I struggled with binge and emotional eating, body hatred and yo-yo dieting that consumed so much of my life, time and energy. I turned to food as my lover and my friend. These issues only worsened after coming off birth control and suffering with adult acne and losing my period for 18 months. Not to mention the constant bloating and flare-ups of my 'acquegentic uteria' (water hives) - thanks to poor food choices and high-stress levels.
This sent me on a quest to find answers. I started learning and taking short courses in nutrition, the gut-skin connection, mind-body connection, women's hormones, human behaviour and psychology. This ultimately led me to become certified as a Mind Body Eating Coach by the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, which integrates the cutting-edge fields of Dynamic Eating Psychology and Mind Body Nutrition. Equipped with this knowledge, I was able to heal my relationship with food, find food freedom, better manage my ''acquegentic uteria' outbreaks, get my period back and experience greater wellness and vitality in my life. Now I help others do the same!
I am devoted to helping people discover and heal the root cause of their yo-yo dieting, overeating, binge eating, emotional eating, weight and health challenges. I help you to not only heal your relationship with food and body, but also your relationship with yourself. I take a holistic, whole person approach as I believe our eating challenges are inextricably linked to the other areas in our life (work, lifestyle, family, friends, finances, sexuality and more) along with our unique world view, childhood upbringing and belief systems.
My role at Legacy Nutrition is to guide you in taking the doable and sustainable actions outlined in your protocol and to help you to navigate the life + mindset challenges along the way. I am here to encourage and cheer you on every step of the way.

Tired and wired waking at 1-4am feeling like you’re going to have a heart attack with racing thoughts and wicked anxiety?
Feeling like 1-2 weeks out of four, your a total crazy B*tch with bloating, PMS, major brain fog (where are my keys!?) totally unhinge and pissed off at the kids, the husband and generally the world?
Planning your days around your IBS issues and worrying where the toilets are just incase your tummy starts churning and the risk of disaster pants GETS REAL!
Tired of having a dysfunctional relationship with food and want to finally make peace with your body?
Ready to get tested for food intolerances, hormonal dysfunction, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, toxins, parasites and anything else you might suspect is the root cause of your problems?
