I’m so happy you’re here!

I’m Zermina, a Holistic Nutritionist and Registered Nurse specializing in women’s health and fertility. I started my career as with over a decade of clinical experience. I combine foundational experience in conventional medicine with graduate education in Functional Medicine and nutrition. My own struggles with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), Hashimotos, thyroid cancer and infertility inspired my transition into this speciality. I use both conventional labs and advanced specialized functional medicine testing where I can seek out underlying processes that feed into many common diseases. My approach is comprehensive to get to the root cause of symptoms to develop immersive personalized treatment protocols to optimize holistic health.

My passion is helping women naturally unlock their own true healing potential through effective lifestyle, nutrition and supplementation. When I’m not serving patients, I love spending time with my husband and daughter, experience nature, travel the world, and experiment in my kitchen.

You are not alone in your journey to sustainable wellness – welcome to being whole with me!

Testimonials

As a family we owe Zermina so much – she identified things that went far beyond my infertility and conventional treatments. I had one consultation with her through OvuSense and it was the most informative consultation I’ve had with any healthcare practitioner. I immediately signed up for her 3 month program. I keep telling anyone I know with fertility problems to go and see a functional nutritionist! I can’t thank you enough Zermina, you made so much of my pain disappear and your invaluable advice has helped bring the biggest joy to our lives.

Before I worked with Zermina, I was struggling with low energy and low mood. From my first consultation I started to notice improvements. She was able to identify vitamin deficiencies and bad habits that were negatively affecting me. Zermina’s demeanor is very supportive and she encourages small steps to change your lifestyle, enabling you to reach your end goal. You can tell that Zermina loves being a nurse and a nutritionist and is passionate about others having a healthier and happier lifestyle.

I’ve been suffering with weight gain, skin problems and facial hair for years. I had a few tests done recently and discovered that I have PCOS. I was recommended Zermina by a friend and am so pleased I decided to work with her because of her root cause approach. What I really liked is that she didn’t just tell me to stop doing everything I did. She gave me an action plan and advised me on how to incorporate this plan into my life. I found it all really achievable and was amazed at how I felt within two to three weeks. I am so grateful to Zermina for everything she has done for me.

After trying to get pregnant for 6 years, 3 miscarriages and 1 IVF cycle that failed, I wanted to take a different last approach. I wish I had met Zermina sooner and skipped years of heartache and stress. She is a wealth of knowledge about food and fertility. I felt prepared to do her program and was very supported with questions I had along the way.
