Meet Nikki

The curiosity came first.
The rest followed.

I've always been fascinated by the way everything connects... how what we eat shapes how we feel, how stress shows up in our digestion, how healing happens in layers. If you're here, I suspect you're curious too.

My Journey

How I got here

There was a time when I felt completely disconnected from my own body. The exhaustion that no amount of sleep could touch. The brain fog that made simple decisions feel impossible. The sense that something was off, even when doctors said everything looked fine.

I found my way to holistic nutrition not because I had it all figured out, but because I desperately needed to understand what my body was trying to tell me. And when I finally started listening... really listening... things began to shift.

That experience changed everything. It sparked a curiosity that hasn't stopped growing. It led me to study at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition, to train in Reiki, and eventually to open this practice here on Vancouver Island. Not because I wanted to tell people what to eat, but because I wanted to help others decode what their own bodies have been saying all along.

Nikki - Ponder Nutrition

My Approach

How I work

Holistic means whole. When we work together, we look at the full picture... your digestion, your energy, your stress, your sleep, your relationship with food, the seasons of your life. I'm not here to hand you a list of rules. I'm here to help you become curious about your own body and discover what actually nourishes you.

I believe your body has wisdom worth listening to. My role is to help you tune in, ask good questions, and make changes that feel sustainable and even... enjoyable. Science-informed, heart-led, and always without judgment.

Beyond the Practice

A little more about me

When I'm not in session, you'll likely find me wandering the trails near my home on Gabriola Island, or experimenting with something new in the kitchen. I am delighted to live surrounded by forest and ocean and all the seasons this place brings.

When you're ready, I'm here.

If anything here resonated, I'd love to hear from you. There's no pressure... just a real conversation about what you're looking for and whether working together might be a good fit.

I typically respond within a day or two. And if we chat and it's not the right fit, I'll happily point you toward someone who might be.
