Do I need a diagnosis to work with you?
No, you do not need a formal diagnosis to access our supports.
Can you diagnose an Eating Disorder?
No, only medical doctors and registered psychologists with the authority to diagnose can provide a formal diagnosis. We are happy to provide guidance through the diagnostic process; we also work closely with practitioners that can diagnose within Saskatoon.
Do you work with children and teens?
Yes! Both Anna and Katia have pediatric training for both general nutrition and to support children with medical complexities/ mental health challenges. We require parent presence at all appointments for those under 17. We do not work with children individually as children are not in charge of the food environment within their homes.
Do you take insurance ?
We do not offer direct billing but we will provide you with a receipt for reimbursement. Check with your insurance provider to see what you are eligible for.
Katia is registered as an approved provider on the SK autism registry, making her services eligible for reimbursement through those who can access this funding.
Do you work with therapists to support those with disordered eating and eating disorders?
Yes! we are happy to offer joint appointments with a number of trusted professionals within Saskatoon. This could look like us travelling to your therapists office or having them join our session at our office.
Therapists we work closely with include Sarah Andrie M.Ed R. Psych, Page Beaton M.Ed R.Psych, Margo Palmer MSW (website), Elizabeth Tosney R.Psych, Hillary Wand MSW, and Sarah Wilson M.Ed R.Psych.
What is the point of having a joint appointment with a therapist?
Joint appointments allow for reduced appointment times for you and your family, while still ensuring that you get the information you need from both providers. Joint appointments also ensure that your treatment team is one the same page for interventions and next steps- less chance for mixed messaging.
Will you give me a calorie goal to lose weight?
As Health at Every Size dietitians, we do not support caloric restriction and interacting with food in a way that is known to lead to the development of disordered eating. 1 in 8 people that restrict calories to lose weight experience an eating disorder as a direct result of caloric restriction.
We instead offer our support to improve how you feel both mentally and physically without focusing on numbers or the scale through using concepts like nutrition through addition and gradual behaviour change.
Nova Nutrition SK provides eating disorder and disordered eating nutrition counselling in person and virtually within Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. We provide dietitian services to children, teenagers, and adults with ARFID, autism-related feeding concerns, disordered eating, and recovery-focused nutrition care.
