Kim EK Canale

I have been a part of the dynamic Diet Solutions team since 2017. My extensive experience in the gastroenterology field has allowed me to fully appreciate the physical and mental challenges faced by clients with gastrointestinal issues. I am passionate about supporting clients not just with their dietary needs but with their emotional journeys as well, towards how to enjoy foods again despite their food intolerances to optimise their overall health, and mental and physical well being.

Positive. Holistic. Compassionate. Mother.
