What is Holistic Nutrition?
A WHOLE PERSON APPROACH TO HEALTH & NOURISHMENT
Holistic nutrition is a personalized approach to health that looks at your entire being, not just what’s on your plate. It considers the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of your life, understanding that true wellness comes from addressing the root causes of imbalance, not just symptoms.
Unlike conventional nutrition advice that offers one-size-fits-all meal plans, holistic nutrition recognizes that your body is unique. What works for someone else may not work for you. Together, we’ll uncover what your specific body needs to thrive.
My holistic approach includes:
- Personalized nutrition recommendations tailored to your unique needs, health history, and goals
- Whole food guidance that emphasizes nutrient-dense, real foods over processed options
- Lifestyle modifications including sleep, stress management, and movement that support your nutrition
- Natural supplements and herbs when appropriate to address specific imbalances
- Habit and mindset work to build a sustainable, healthy relationship with food
- Investigation of root causes rather than just managing symptoms
- Ongoing support and accountability as your body and needs evolve
Traditional nutritionists often focus solely on calories, macros, and weight management. As a holistic nutritionist, I look deeper. I consider your digestion, energy levels, hormones, sleep quality, stress, and even your emotional relationship with food. We address the foundations first, getting the basics right so everything else can fall into place.
Areas Holistic Nutrition Can Help

Digestive Issues & Gut Health
Reduce bloating, gas, constipation, IBS symptoms, and other digestive discomfort through targeted nutrition and healing protocols.

Hi, I am Dawne Sullivan
Reiki Master, Coach & Mentor, Cold Immersion Guide, Breathwork Facilitator, Holistic Nutritionist
I’ve been where you are. I spent much of my life with a poor relationship with food, feeling disconnected from my body, and struggling to build better habits. In my 30s, this shifted when I started viewing food as nourishment rather than the enemy. Over time, I became passionate about natural health and went back to school to become a Holistic Nutritionist.
I believe in getting the basics right so you can move forward in your best health. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution, but there are foundational principles that work for every body.
Frequently Asked Questions
HOW IS YOUR APPROACH DIFFERENT?
My approach is whole body, nervous system led, body-based, and deeply supportive, not prescriptive or extreme.
Instead of starting with rigid rules, I start with:
- Regulation before restriction
- Awareness before willpower
- Safety before change
I blend:
- Functional nutrition principles
- Somatic practices, breathwork, and yoga
- Mind-body education
- Gentle lifestyle shifts that work in real life (little hinges swing big doors)
This isn’t about “fixing” your body. It’s about learning how to work with it. We focus on how you eat, rest, move, and live, not just what you do.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HOLISTIC NUTRITIONIST AND A REGISTERED DIETITIAN?
DO YOU SPECIALIZE IN A SPECIFIC AREA?
Not really, but I work with:
- Blood sugar balance
- Midlife transitions and women feeling disconnected from their bodies
- Women who want a softer, more intuitive approach to health
- Self-care so we can give the best of us, not what’s left of us
Much of my work resonates especially with women who are:
- Putting themselves last on their lists
- 40+ and have spent years disconnected from their bodies and what they need
- Just “pushing through”
- Moving through midlife shifts and redefining themselves
DO YOU FOCUS ON SPECIFIC DIETS?
No, and that’s intentional. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all diets or rigid food rules.
Instead, I focus on:
- Blood sugar stability
- Gentle structure
- Nourishment over restriction
- Understanding why your body responds the way it does
Food is used as a supportive tool, not a source of stress or control.
CAN I WORK WITH YOU IF I LIVE OUTSIDE OF NEWMARKET?
DO PEOPLE NEED TO COMMIT FOR A SPECIFIC AMOUNT OF TIME?
I offer standalone appointments, but I find that packages offer more accountability and greater success.
There’s no pressure for long-term commitment, but those who choose continued support often experience deeper, more sustainable change.
