Sierra Day

Food and nutrition have always been pillars in my life. From a young age I was captivated by food and started leading family meals and growing vegetable gardens. This fascination allowed me to obtain a degree in culinary arts and a BaSc in nutrition and food. I am now a culinary nutritionist, where I use my expertise to help local restaurants build healthy menus.

This love for food is complemented by another life long passion of mine - Yoga. I believe in a holistic approach to yoga; one that allows us to nourish and connect our minds, bodies and spirits through mindful eating, nature and community.
