Michelle Lall BSc (Hons), BED, CNP

Certified Holistic Nutritionist + Emotional Eating Expert/Guide

ABOUT

Michelle Lall is a Toronto based Certified Holistic Nutritionist who works with women who are experiencing emotional eating and body issues. She founded LALL Nutrition as a way to support women to reclaim their relationship to themselves, their body and health in a holistic way.

Michelle helps her clients to get to the root cause of their emotional issues so that they can have a healthy and happy relationship with food and their body that actually creates results with their health goals.

Michelle combines her solid grasp of biological chemistry, experience as a certified high school teacher, background training in holistic nutrition + somatic psychotherapy to support her clients in developing a sustainable way to achieve health on all levels; physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

From a young age Michelle wanted to cure HIV and cancer. She pursued a specialist degree in biological chemistry in an effort to go down this path.At the same time she struggled with poor body image, low confidence, emotional eating, acne and weight gain. She spent the better part of high school and into her early 20’s yo yo dieting, overly exercising, having disordered eating + emotional eating.

At some point she hit rock bottom from all the restrictions and mental anguish and had to find a better way. 

She was on a path to finding more purpose and passion in her career. She worked as an analytical chemist, a chemistry TA, taught in Korea, worked in administrative research at the hospital and pursued a teaching degree. When all career paths seemed to miss that passion she wanted she followed the next intuition she had. 

These 2 paths merged when she started to heal her relationship to food, her body and her emotional eating. She was inspired and decided to enrol into Holistic Nutrition school to help others do the same. 

Over time (the last 2 years) she has continued expanding her understanding of trauma and resolving emotions from the core in a 2 year program in somatic psychotherapy to further help clients get to the root of their emotional eating.

All of the training and trial and error experience lead her to this career path and the creation of her signature program The Emotional Eating Evolution Program.

 

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
I’m so glad that I decided to work with Michelle.  I originally just wanted to make some simple dietary changes to feel more energetic during the day but what I ended up getting by the end of the 12 week program was so much more than that.
My skin cleared up, I lost weight and I was able to create really healthy habits that will serve me for the rest of my life.
I used to hate cooking but now I’ve learned to make a few really simple and healthy meals on sunday nights so that I always have nutritious and tasty options available throughout the week.
Michelle also helped me so much with my emotional eating. 
She really helped me see what feelings were beneath my food cravings and supported me in facing those emotions and finding healthier ways to handle them.
While I was working with Michelle I was going through a difficult breakup and she was so supportive and encouraging.  Her energy is so warm and uplifting and I always felt better after a call with her.
I highly recommend working with Michelle!  Not only is she super knowledgeable and fun but she can help you through the tough emotions that prevent you from reaching your health goals.
Thank you Michelle for all of your help!!

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Working with Michelle came at a great time for me. I was feeling very discouraged with my health concerns and was lacking the motivation to make any real strides to solve them.

Right after our first call I knew I wanted to work with Michelle. She is so easy to talk to and I felt so comfortable with her from the beginning.

Since working with Michelle I am much more in tune with myself and my body, and my relationship with food. Her guided meditations were invaluable to me and opened me up to feelings I had let go and ignored – allowing me to face them in a positive way.

I got so much more out of this 12-week program than I could’ve imagined and I’m super grateful that I got to work with her.

I would highly recommend her services if you’re looking to begin your self-care and self-love journey. I will be practicing what Michelle taught me for the rest of my life.
