Founder/BACKGROUND & EDUCATION
Linda was a student in the Foods and Nutrition Program in Ryerson Polytechnical Institute, Toronto for two years, later transferring to McGill University in Montreal where she subsequently earned a Bachelor of Science degree (Food Sciences, majoring in Nutrition). After graduation Linda worked as a food scientist in Montreal for two years before relocating to Winnipeg, Manitoba for her dietetic internship at the Health Sciences Centre. As a registered dietitian Linda soon established her own private consulting practice. Counselling services were provided to clients from the community in individual or group sessions and to cardiovascular and diabetic clinics in the hospital setting. This conventional work was rounded out with a venture as a restaurant owner and specialty food (quiche) producer and marketer.
Mission Statement: To challenge the myths of the diet industry by shifting the attitudes and beliefs of the public consciousness from the preoccupation with weight and size to an acceptance and appreciation of healthier living. To develop the company for effective delivery of the message of anti-diet, healthy living through media appearances and workshops/presentations and through offering the tools for change with programs and products.
Product/Service: Anti-diet lifestyle program which includes support materials; books; fitness video, audio tape and facilitator kit. The program is used by hospitals, health units and clinics. Presentations/Workshops: Linda is available for presentations, seminars and workshops to professional and general public audiences. Her message is an effective and inspiring demonstration of the alternative to society's entrenched diet mentality. Linda also writes articles on the nondiet topic for publications by invitation.
