hello!
we’re so glad you’re here.

At Intuition Nutrition, we believe your worth isn’t defined by your body. Whether you’re feeling stuck with food, navigating health concerns, or trying to improve your relationship with food and body, you’re welcome here.
We offer nutrition and therapy support that’s weight-inclusive, compassionate, and rooted in real life — not perfection. Our goal is to help you feel more at ease in your body, build trust with food, and discover what works for you. No pressure. No judgement. Just support that meets you where you’re at.
our philosophy.
We focus on progress over perfection.
You won’t find strict rules, rigid meal plans, or guilt-driven messaging here. Instead, we work collaboratively with you to create small, meaningful changes that add up over time.
We emphasize:
-
Working with your body, instead of against it
-
Adding vs. subtracting
-
Building habits that fit your life, not disrupt it
-
Understanding the “why” behind your choices
-
Creating a little structure where helpful, and flexibility where needed
We take the time to understand your story, your preferences, and your day-to-day life because we believe support should actually fit into your life, not the other way around. Our team prioritizes offering a space where you feel comfortable, heard, and supported.

Jenna Zaika (she/her), BASc, RD
Registered Dietitian, Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor
& Founder of Intuition Nutrition
Jenna is a Registered Dietitian with over a decade of experience supporting individuals and families. She practices from a compassionate, intuitive lens and believes health is about so much more than rules or rigid plans. After years in primary care, Jenna created Intuition Nutrition — a space she had long envisioned, grounded in compassion, collaboration, and trust.
As a Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor, Jenna supports clients in stepping away from diet culture and reconnecting with internal cues, while honouring both physical and emotional needs. Her approach is realistic, non-judgmental, and grounded in the belief that worth is never defined by food choices or body size. She believes food is more than fuel — it’s connection, culture, comfort, and yes… sometimes just cake. You might connect with her if you’re looking for a gentler approach and want to feel more comfortable trusting your body and your choices. You can expect sessions with Jenna to feel supportive and gentle, with space to slow things down, reconnect with your body’s cues, and find what works for you in a way that fits into your life.
Outside of work, you’ll find her birdwatching or spending time with her kids and husband.
