Option 1 : Single sessions
If you consider yourself someone who's self-motivated and mainly wants a coach to review your nutrition and lifestyle habits to give you a plan that you can execute on your own, my 90-minute initial session is for you.
What can be reviewed inside a 90-minute session:
- Nutrition recommendations to improve your overall health, energy, and how you feel
- Nutrition and lifestyle recommendations to better control your prediabetes, Type 2 diabetes or high cholesterol levels
- First steps towards decreasing PMS, period cramps and other discomforts related to your menstrual cycle (note: you need to typically apply these lifestyle changes for 2-3 months before seeing improvements).
- First steps towards preparing your body to get off hormonal birth control
- Improve mild digestive discomforts (ex. mild bloating. For severe gastro-intestinal conditions, I suggest you consult a provider specialized in your condition)
- Guidance on how to efficiently meal prep and plan your weekly meals on a busy schedule
What's included:
- A written action plan sent to you 2 business days after our call
- Product recommendations if pertinent
- E-mail communication if you have questions about the written action plan or what was discussed during the call. This will be available for up to one week after our call. Please allow a 48-h response time (Monday to Friday). If you have questions about a topic that wasn't discussed during our call together, I may suggest we save it for a follow-up session.
- Revision on your food journal for up to one week after our call
- Recipes
- An insurance receipt (under naturopathy) will be sent to you via e-mail after our call.
Follow-up calls (60 minutes)
- If you'd like to book a follow-up call after your initial 90-minute call with me, you can book a 60-minute follow-up call (190$) at your convenience. The single 60-minute calls are only available to clients who have worked with me before.
Investment:
- 275$ CAD (paid at the time of booking)
Insurance coverage:
If your private insurance company covers services from a naturopath, I will provide you with an insurance receipt after each session. I am a member of the Association des Naturopathes Professionnels du Québec.
If not, you can claim it (or the remainder that isn't covered by your insurances) as a medical expense on your tax return. Check with your accountant for more details.
Option 2 : 3-month program
How my program is different from my single sessions:
- This is for women who desire more guidance and accountability, as there is support between sessions included. Therefore if you have questions, want feedback on your food journal, want to share wins or ask for help when you're having an off day, I'll be here to support you. I also check-in with you in between sessions to see if any adjustment are required until our next call.
- As we work together during a longer time frame, I'll be able to share more tools with you and ensure you're able to sustain the new habits.
- We'll also be able to address the "mindset" aspect of lifestyle changes, as well as your relationship with food and your body.
What can be covered inside the 3-month program:
- Improve your overall health, energy, and how you feel
- Learn the foundational skills to improving your diet, fueling your body and preventing chronic illness
- Efficiently meal prep and plan your weekly meals on a busy schedule
- Improve your energy levels
- Better manage cravings, but still enjoy the occasional sweets without guilt
- Improve mild-moderate digestive discomforts (ex. bloating, constipation. For severe gastro-intestinal conditions, I suggest you consult a provider specialized in your condition)
- Decrease PMS, period cramps and other discomforts related to your menstrual cycle (ex. heavy bleeds, migraines during your periods, etc.)
- Prepare your body to get off hormonal birth control
- Get into the habit of moving more often
- Cultivate a supportive relationship with food and your body
If you have:
- PCOS: we will create a plan to address the main contributors to PCOS to help relieve symptoms, support hormone balance and the return of a regular menstrual cycle. My recommendations will be a mix of lifestyle habit changes, nutritional guidance, and suggestions of herbs and supplements that can support you.
Please note that managing PCOS through lifestyle habits is a long-term journey and it typically takes 6-12 months to regularize your menstrual cycle and manage PCOS-related symptoms (acne, hair loss, weight gain, etc.). That being said, you can begin with the 3-month program to establish a foundation and book single follow-up sessions afterwards. - Metabolic Syndrome (prediabetes, Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol): we will create a plan to address the main contributors to the metabolic syndrome (i.e. insulin resistance and inflammation) to support a healthy blood pressure, as well as optimal blood sugar and cholesterol levels. My recommendations will be a mix of lifestyle habit changes, nutritional guidance, and suggestions of herbs and supplements that can support you.
It may take longer than the 3 months of this program to normalize your blood test results and blood pressure values. That being said, you can begin with the program to establish a foundation and book single follow-up sessions afterwards.
What's included:
- 2 x 60-minutes calls via Zoom during the first month to set the foundations
- 4 x 30 minutes calls via Zoom over the next 2 months to follow up (one call every 2 weeks)
- Text and voice message support between sessions (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm EST with a 48h-response time)
- In-between session accountability and follow-up form
- Weekly evaluation of food journal to let you know if you're on the right track
- Recipes
Investment:
- 1000$ CAD by payment plan: 400$ CAD deposit and 2 monthly payment of 300$ CAD
Insurance coverage:
If your private insurance company covers services from a naturopath, I will provide you with an insurance receipt after each session. I am a member of the Association des Naturopathes Professionnels du Québec.
If not, you can claim it (or the remainder that isn't covered by your insurances) as a medical expense on your tax return. Check with your accountant for more details.

Testimonials
On top of dealing with PCOS most of my life, I was recently diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. I tried every diet and I was never able to continue with it. Once I failed, I would just give up. Then, I found Julie and a new health journey began.
As a busy mom, I always had trouble prioritizing myself. So, she gave me tools to plan my meals accordingly. She taught me how to be more mindful of what I eat and how much I eat. I learnt to cook a variety of different things that I never would have tried if it weren't for her. She never made me feel bad about my choices and instead, encouraged healthier swaps. She gave me the tools to help me control my sugars, lose weight and help with my PCOS symptoms.
So far, I've lost 10 lbs, my A1C went from 6.7 to 6.0 and I've never felt better :)
Thank you Julie for literally changing my life, for being a motivating and supportive health coach but most importantly, for always believing in me :) If you're stuck in a rut and need some guidance, I highly recommend contacting Julie!
Anne S.
When I was diagnosed with PCOS, my doctor wanted to put me on a drug called metformin. I absolutely refused and went online to search for a coach to naturally help me manage my condition.
I'm so happy I found Julie. With her help, I lost 22 pounds, improved my acne and got my period to become more regular (which it hasn't been for several years). Thanks to the changes I've made with Julie, I'm confident I'll never have to take pills to manage my PCOS.
I highly recommend her services!

Working with Julie has been a complete pleasure and eye-opening experience. I always knew that I was an emotional eater but Julie gave me several "ah-ha" moments. "Being intentional" is my new mantra!
Since we started our sessions, I have been able to force myself to be present and ask myself why I need to dive into an entire bag of chips. And I am proud to say I have not eaten emotionally since!
Even when I didn't follow our protocols exactly, she always had a gentle word, she reassured me and was always positive and light-hearted, but all the while staying focused on my goals. She helped me realign my goals, gave me great advice and made everything seem doable and possible.
I stand behind my decision to work with Julie 100% and I highly recommend her and her expertise and gentle nature to anyone who needs a reset. Thank you, Julie, your guidance was much needed and very appreciated.
Silvana T.
On March 11th, 2020, I was officially diagnosed with borderline prediabetes along with the news of the pandemic. It was a difficult start of healing, and with a family history of diabetes, I knew I needed additional help.
I know Julie Doan's expertise and her health coaching business for a while now. I never thought I need it that soon until I heard the news.
This September 2020, I got the wonderful news that I am back to normal (from an HbA1c of 6.4% to 5.8%)! It's a journey that never stops evolving but I am determined to not go back to my old lifestyle.
Thank you Julie for the support in my journey toward a healthier me!
