Hi, I’m Ninu!
Born and raised Alberta girl here! I’m a Registered Nurse turned functional health practitioner, and I have a deep passion for helping women get to the root cause of their health issues—especially when conventional medicine has left them without answers.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed by doctors, frustrated with temporary fixes, or exhausted from trying to “eat clean” with no results, I get it. I was there too. As a nurse, I saw firsthand how conventional medicine overlooks the root cause of health issues. When I struggled with my own gut and hormone imbalances (and lack of answers in medical system), I knew there had to be a better way.
It wasn’t until I turned to functional and integrative health that I finally found the answers that changed my life.
That’s why I started this business—because I believe that with the right approach, the right tools, and the right support, you can take back control of your health and feel vibrant again.
I know how overwhelming it can be to navigate gut issues, confusing nutrition advice, and conflicting health information. But I want to help—because I believe every woman deserves to feel incredible in her body, and no one should have to settle for just “getting by.”
So, if you’re ready to finally get real answers, heal your gut, and reclaim your energy, I’d love to support you on this journey. Let’s make it happen together!
👉🏼 From traditional nursing to holistic health
My journey into healthcare started with a genuine desire to make a difference in people’s lives. But as I went through my nursing education, I quickly realized that the conventional healthcare system had its blind spots. It felt like so many important pieces of health were overlooked, and the only solutions offered were medications or surgery. That left me feeling disheartened, knowing there had to be a better way to help people truly heal.
So, I decided to dive deeper into nutrition first and became a Certified Holistic Nutritional Consultant™ just before the birth of my first son back in 2012. What I learned was a game-changer. It reinforced my belief that food is our medicine and empowered me to step away from traditional nursing and explore a holistic approach to health that focuses on healing from the inside out. That was just the beginning of my journey!
✨ How my own struggles were a catalyst to a new vision
In 2015, when I had my second child, I was overjoyed to be a mom again—but along with the joys of motherhood came sleepless nights, exhaustion, and a slew of health struggles. I began facing burnout, digestive issues, allergies, sinus infections, and hormonal imbalances. It was a really challenging time, and I quickly realized I needed answers beyond what conventional medicine could provide. That’s when I explored new avenues and came upon integrative and functional health. This changed EVERYTHING. I began on my own healing journey and found the missing keys and it paved the way to do the meaningful work I do now with women of all ages across Canada.
⚡️ The development of a game-changing program
Once I had resolved my symptoms and put myself back together again (no more bloating, food sensitivities, eczema, acne, headaches, sugar cravings or PMS) I knew I had to share this with the world!! I reverse engineered what I did and how I got the answers and became bulletproof with my health and put in into a comprehensive, realistic yet effective plan - including the neccessary education, action steps, testing, protocols and recipes/meal plans to create what is the Happy Gut Program. Now - as of 2025, I’ve helped 100 + women across Canada of all ages thrive and take back control of their health.
😻 A Radiant Transformation - my life now
Today, my life is a testament to the power of integrative health. I have boundless energy, a digestive system free of symptoms, symptom-free and painless regular menstrual cycles at the age of 42, stable moods, and a healthy weight that I effortlessly maintain. My skin is clear, and I've bid farewell to sinus issues, allergies, and headaches. I thoroughly enjoy every single day, I still play competitive soccer twice a week, love hiking and camping with my kids and go on loads of adventures, not turning down any offer that lights me up!
It’s my mission to help you achieve the same vitality - at any age !
This was me back in 2016 in Banff. I went on a retreat and took the weekend away from my family as I so badly needed it. My family met me here afterwards. I needed this rejuvenating weekend to recommit to my own health and show up as the best mom I could be. I finally started putting myself first and realized if I wanted to show fully in my life I needed to stop denying there was an issue and heal my gut and build new habits.
Because, my friend - if you don’t take the leap - how will things change?
What is Integrative Health anyway?
Integrative health is a facet of natural health that looks at multiple health modalities to achieve balanced health. It is bio-individual approach that believes no two people are the same. I believe fundamentally that your body wants to be well and is always trying to heal - we just need to remove what’s hurting it and replace what’s missing. Symptoms are simply red flags. We just need to listen to our bodies and uncover the issues causing the symptoms - find the root cause.
I’ve put together the most comprehensive gut healing program
to help you do just that.

I’m the goofiest human.
My family as the witness, I have more silly names, goofy actions and weirdness about me that only they are privy to! I used to laugh a lot as a kid and I think parenthood sometimes feels like a huge serious responsibility and we forget to laugh so I try and bring that out at home and never forget that we are kids at heart too!
I lived in Ecuador for 5 months - here we are caught in a massive torrential downpour!
When my boyfriend (now husband) was finishing completing masters degree, we moved to Ecuador to finish the program. It was an eye opening experience. We met and saw so many amazing people and sights, like this torrential downpour bike ride along the sketchy highway to see waterfalls! We were even held up at gunpoint (luckily not hurt) but it was a wild time! It left us with so much gratitude for our life at home, in Canada.
I am obsessed with soccer & sports.
Raised by a single mama who was never home to drive me, I had amazing coaches who took me under their wing from the time I was 8 yrs old to drive me to practices, games and tournaments almost every single day.
To this day, I am beyond so grateful for them all. It gave me so much confidence & drive, not just in sports, but life.
