Hi there, I’m Marlee! I’m Ignite’s Dietitian Team Lead.

I studied at St. Francis Xavier University and have a Bachelor of Science in Human Nutrition with a specialization in dietetics. I have been practicing since 2015. I am registered with the College of Dietitians of Alberta, the College of Dietitians of British Columbia, and the College of Dietitians of Ontario.

I help people who feel like they’ve lost their way when it comes to food. My role in this can look different depending on the person – sometimes I’m helping my clients to regain a sense of control around food and mindful eating. For others, I help them to find their way back to enjoying food after being overly restrictive and following food rules that aren’t serving them. Ultimately, I want my clients to feel like they can experience the most food freedom possible, while also considering their health story, lifestyle, symptoms, and budget.

My passion as a dietitian is working with patients who have unique and complex health concerns, as this can often lead to food relationship struggles. When something feels SO BIG, it can feel impossible to manage, but that’s why I love my job so much – it’s exciting to see my patients thrive with small steps toward their big goals. By breaking down your plan into actionable steps, it will feel so much less daunting and so much more attainable.

I specialize in:

• IBS & SIBO
• Complex functional gut disorders - trust me, I’ve seen it ALL
• Digestive disorders (EoE, celiac, GERD, microscopic colitis, IBD, and more!)
• Unusual allergies and intolerances like histamine intolerance and food chemical intolerances
• Intuitive eating & food relationship
• Fatty liver disease & NASH
• PCOS and insulin resistance – I’ve even written a PCOS cookbook!
• Nutrition for disease prevention and management
• Meal prep and planning (the ‘practical stuff’)
• Oncology and cancer survivorship

I’m a realist and I live by the philosophy that food should be simple, nutritious, and easy to prepare. Let’s connect and start your journey towards a healthy, sustainable life!

Hi, I’m Chloe Harrison, a registered psychologist providing in-person and virtual services in Alberta.

I use a holistic and evidence-based approach that is tailored to each individual client and their goals. I place great importance on developing a safe, trusting, and non-judgemental environment for my clients to learn, grow, and move forward on their journeys to greater wellbeing.

I believe that mental, physical, and emotional health are closely intertwined, and using knowledge about digestive health and the gut-brain connection, I strive to help clients create balance and comfort in these areas.

I draw upon a variety of therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and I incorporate stress-management, mindfulness, and relaxation skills that help clients to make progress both in and outside of therapy sessions.

I look forward to working with you!

I pride myself on supporting sustainable changes that fit the context of your life without needing to overhaul it or alter what makes you unique.

Hi there! I’m Jen Rawson (she/her), and I’m both a Registered Dietitian and Registered Provisional Psychologist.

My combined qualifications and extensive experience working as a dietitian for over 10 years provide me a unique perspective on the intricate relationship between mental health and nutrition, promoting a holistic approach to overall wellness. Through working with numerous clients, I’ve come to understand that our well-being is about much more than just the food we eat.

I am deeply committed to a non-diet approach that embraces and welcomes people of all body types and identities. I firmly believe that health is not defined by a specific body size and strive to help clients redefine what health means to them.

My areas of expertise include: - disordered eating - body image concerns - digestive disorders - navigating life transitions with a particular interest in the complex hormonal, health, and mental challenges of perimenopause and menopause.

It’s important to note that while I am skilled in both psychology and nutrition, I only provide dietitian services at Ignite Nutrition.

I am excited about the opportunity to join you on your journey towards food and body freedom, empowering you to redefine health on your own terms and thrive in your overall well-being. Let’s work together to create positive and lasting changes in your life!

Hi! I’m Ashley!

I work with babies, children, teens, and adults. I help people make meaningful and sustainable changes towards their health goals, with a plan that fits.

In my experience, individuals start working with a dietitian and feel stress around big changes, an overhaul to their food choices, or a super restrictive diet… thats not me! I want to hear your story, support you with every step along the way, and remove the uncertainty around food and nutrition. Then we can build on what is working and troubleshoot what isn’t. I want you to feel confident to reach your own personalized nutrition and health goals.

The same goes for my pediatric patients, I understand that food and nutrition can have even more pressure and concern for you as a caregiver. My approach is to not only provide nutrition care but compassion to the individuals I am working with, helping you to feel confident to reach your little one’s nutrition and health needs.

For Pediatrics, I specialize in:

• Constipation & Encopresis
• Digestive Disorders like IBS, IBD, EoE, and GERD/Reflux
• Cow’s Milk Protein Allergy & Milk Soy Protein Intolerance (MSPI)
• Feeding families
• Fuelling kids & teens for sport
• Transition to solids
• Picky eating

For Adults, I specialize in:

• IBS & SIBO
• Digestive disorders like Microscopic Colitis, IBD, Diverticulitis, Bile Acid Diarrhea, Gastroparesis, and EoE
• Constipation & Diarrhea
• GERD / Reflux / Heartburn
• Celiac Disease & Non-Celiac Wheat Sensitivity
• Chronic disease and general health management
• Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and other liver diseases
• PCOS and Women’s Health
• Hypothyroidism & Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
• Planning for Pregnancy & Nutrition in/post pregnancy
• Vegetarian / Vegan Diets
• Intuitive Eating & Food Relationship
• Meal Prep & Planning

I am passionate about nutrition and its role in helping you live a happy healthy life. I am a firm believer that all food fits and food should never be confusing or associated with guilt. I want to work together to help you navigate through all of the nutrition information (and misinformation) to remove the stress out of food and nutrition.

Let’s work together to help you feel empowered with a plan that fits YOU. I look forward to connecting with you!

Hi I’m Sam!

I completed my Bachelors of Science with Honours Specialization in Nutrition and Dietetics at Brescia University College. While I was becoming a dietitian, I was diagnosed with celiac disease. This led me to be interested in all things GI. In living through this diagnosis, I realized how important it is for a patient to understand their diagnosis and receive good care.

Advocating for my patients is what I do best; I am deeply committed to championing the cause of my patients. As a trusted registered dietitian, I can help be a voice for their nutritional needs and concerns, ensuring that they receive the support and guidance necessary for their journey to optimal health. Whether it’s working with you to craft a personalized nutrition plan or providing education on sustainable lifestyle changes, I am committed to making a positive impact on the lives of those I work with.

In my training and career, I have had a broad spectrum of experiences that fueled my passion for delivering comprehensive and empathetic care to individuals facing health challenges. These diverse exposures equipped me with the ability to navigate the complexities of nutrition in different clinical settings.

I specialize in:

• Celiac Disease and Non-Celiac Wheat Sensitivity
• Digestive disorders including IBS, IBD, EoE, microscopic colitis, GERD, SIBO, diverticulitis, and more!
• PCOS
• Chronic disease and general health management
• Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD, NASH)
• Women’s Health
• Meal prep & planning
• Vegetarian and vegan diets

I firmly believe in the transformative impact that proper nutrition can have on one’s overall well-being. This belief serves as the driving force behind my commitment to continuous learning and staying abreast of the latest developments in the field. I am dedicated to translating this knowledge into practical, patient-centered solutions that empower individuals to achieve their health goals.

I can’t wait to work with you!
