About Milena
Hi, I’m Milena — a Certified Nutritional Practitioner.
I believe our bodies are incredibly intelligent and capable of healing when given the right support. Yet too often, people feel frustrated, dismissed, or stuck guessing when it comes to their health. They try different diets, supplements, or quick fixes but still don’t feel like themselves again.
I work with individuals struggling with bloating, digestive discomfort, low energy, hormone imbalances, irregular cycles, mood changes, metabolic concerns, or stubborn weight—symptoms that often signal something deeper is happening in the body. I believe, as Hippocrates said, that “everything begins in the gut,” so a central focus of my work is helping clients address digestive challenges such as leaky gut, SIBO, IBS, and IBD. Supporting gut health is foundational, as it impacts digestion, immunity, mood, energy, and overall well-being.
My approach is both holistic and science-based. I look at the full picture—your symptoms, health history, lifestyle habits, nutrition patterns, and stress levels. When appropriate, I also use functional testing, taking a “test, not guess” approach to uncover underlying imbalances. Together, we create a personalized plan designed specifically for you, targeting root causes and supporting sustainable, lasting change.
I hold an Honours Diploma from the Institute of Holistic Nutrition (IHN) in Toronto, where I developed a strong foundation in natural health and holistic nutrition. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Agriculture from Serbia, recognized in Canada by World Education Services (WES), which introduced me early on to plant science, food systems, and the connection between food and overall health.
To further expand my clinical expertise, I completed advanced training in Optimal Bloodwork through Rooted Wisdom Coaching and am part of the Academy of Excellence led by Brett Hawes. His 20+ years of experience have greatly shaped my integrative approach, particularly in functional testing. Through the Academy of Excellence, I have also completed advanced practitioner training in:
• Digestive Health Practitioner Masterclass
• Hormone Harmony Practitioner Masterclass
• Adrenal Practitioner Masterclass
• Autoimmune Practitioner Masterclass
My ongoing professional development includes advanced training and collaborations with organizations such as Evexia Diagnostics, CellCore, CanPrev, US BioTek, Genestra, Vitraxt, and New Roots Herbal. I regularly engage in webinars, workshops, and continuing education to ensure I provide the most current, evidence-informed care for my clients.
I work with people who are ready for a different approach—those tired of random solutions and seeking guidance that is thoughtful, individualized, and compassionate.
You deserve to feel energized, balanced, and confident in your health again. I’m here to support you on that journey.
