Maria Thomas, RD
Nutritionist

Vancouver-based registered dietitian Maria Thomas is fast becoming recognized as one of Canada’s leading health experts. Her extensive knowledge and ability to demystify and break down the science of nutrition has made her a highly sought-after consultant in the field of health and wellness. You can catch her in a new television show on CBC, airing January 2011.

Maria provides one to one nutrition coaching in areas such as weight management, digestive and heart health and healthy lifestyle. Her practice today is grounded in three core tenants: engage, empower, encourage. Each new interaction with a client begins with engaging them on the subject of their objectives and obstacles, empowering them with strategies and tools they will need to make changes and encouraging them by holding them accountable to the “big picture” goals they have set.

Maria has been helping clients make healthy lifestyle changes for over 9 years. After graduating with Honors from the University of Manitoba, specializing in Food & Nutrition and completing her internship at Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, she has made Vancouver her home, where she is enjoying many of the unique qualities Vancouver has to offer. Although she misses Manitoba, she doesn’t miss the mosquitos.
