Weight Loss Services
- Teri Funk, RD
Welcome!
Here's a view of
my office.
I achieved a Bachelor's degree in Nutrition with distinction from the University of Alberta. I then underwent dietitian training in Nova Scotia and Ontario.
I love working in my private practice! It's been a good two years of work so far.
My counselling style:
-
I’m caring, patient, understanding, and encouraging. I’m also creative, detail oriented, and organized.
-
I tend to say that it’s usually okay to eat any type of food. As needed, we could adjust certain aspects, like food amounts or ingredients.
-
If I give recommendations, you're free to use those methods or other methods.
-
I welcome all people, including children/teens and LGBTQ+ people.
-
We can discuss mainly any topic, including sensitive topics.
-
I can provide accommodations if possible. For example, if you prefer to not discuss certain topics or do certain activities, then we can do other activities.
My knowledge and skills:
-
I developed diverse knowledge and skills about food, like through my seven years as a food service aide at a seniors' lodge.
-
I have excellent computer and problem-solving skills.
-
I'm certified in trauma-informed care.
Other details:
I have always lived in Edmonton, except during my training.
I sometimes did cooking at community kitchens.
I love trying foods that I haven't tried before!
I like doing a variety of physical activities, including hiking and jogging.
It's peaceful being around nature.
I’m familiar with various lifestyles, including those in cities, small towns, and farms.
I enjoy spending time with kids.
My cousins and I were entertaining the nearby horses.
