Welcome to your healing journey!
You’re in the right place if you want to be seen and supported on your self-healing journey.
I guide you to find your own answers and honour yourself as the authority on your health.
Hi, I’m Sherry Rothwell. I founded Nutrition Wisdom out of my passion for nutrition and my love for empowering people to take their health into their own hands. I believe symptoms should be addressed, not suppressed, and that our challenges in health are catalysts for growth and freedom.
My approach lets you take radical action for your health, while still enjoying life—because optimal health should give you freedom and open you to more nourishment, not less. That's why we start with what's doable and inspiring for you from where you are right now.
Together, we'll create a path that transforms your diet, lifestyle, body and beauty, helping you step fully into your purpose.
Who I am as a practitioner....
I am an expert in natural health, focused on helping you find and pull out the root causes, of your health issues, as opposed to just suppressing your symptoms with drugs.
My passion is helping you uncover and address the root causes of your health challenges—rather than simply masking symptoms.
I specialize in crafting personalized herbal formulas that support your body’s natural healing process—designed to deliver results quickly and build the resilience you need to go deeper.
Together, we’ll explore and work through the layers of diet, lifestyle, mindset challenges, emotional wellbeing, and soul-level imbalances that often lie at the heart of dis-ease.
With compassion, intention, and deep respect, I am honoured to walk beside you as you walk the path of self healing and optimal health.
The Formal Stuff
My journey has taken me from aesthetics, to managing health food stores and working as a birth doula, to practicing as a holistic nutritionist and teaching holistic nutrition at both the community and professional level.
I hold dual certifications as a Holistic Nutritionist with honours from the Edison Institute of Nutrition (2006) and the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition (2009) - where I was formally an instructor from 2012 to 2024.
I’m also a GAPS Certified Practitioner (2010), a Bio-Individuality Coach™ (2024), and have received specialized training in Ayurvedic Nutrition and Medical Astrology (2024).
This rich foundation allows me to offer a truly individualized and integrative approach—one that draws from both modern science and ancient wisdom to support you on your unique path to health and healing.
With my back round in childbirth studies, I also have a passion for bridging the gap between midwifery and holistic nutrition.…..
In the year 2000, I conceived and home birthed my first child with Midwives and soon after discovered a love for all things - childbearing. I took a hiatus from studying nutrition and traveled from the west coast of BC to Hawaii to as far south as North Carolina to learn from Midwives that carried the knowledge and ancient wisdom of traditional midwifery in their hearts and hands. I used that wisdom to birth my second child unassisted and to serve as a Doula attending over 20 natural and mostly home births locally while studying and raising my young children. I am currently re-writing my books on nutrition for pre-conception, pregnancy, birth and postpartum, introducing solids to babies etc.
I love to share nutrition knowledge…
My relevant teaching experience includes offering workshops in the community and seminars to audiences small and large including: midwifery students, nutritionists and other foodies at the Ancient Art Midwifery Trust Birth Conference, The Matrona School of Midwifery, Manitoba Association of Childbirth and Family Education, Food Matters Winnipeg and The Canadian School of Natural Nutrition teaching subjects like Pathology, Chemistry, Nutritional Literature Research, Paediatrics, Symptomatology, Preventative Nutrition, Alternative/Comparative Diets, Allergies, Aging and Business.
Healing is a Journey
I believe that….
Pleasurable eating is as much nourishment to the soul, as it is to the body and that we are all healers of eachother – especially mothers who do the invisible work of prevention. I believe that healing is our journey of awakening to the transformation required to return to us to who we really and what we came here to this planet to do….I believe that disease happens ‘for’ us, not ‘to’ us.
How I awakened to the path….
My journey started on the west coast in the 90's where I spent my days immersed in chemicals as an esthetician, working inside a hair salon (double toxic exposure). In those days you could find me painting nails by day, and spending my nights chain smoking pot and cigarettes. It wasn’t long though before I became sick on the fumes and traded in my high heels for Birkenstocks (metaphorically speaking, I would never wear those, haha) and I gave up ‘the grunge’ for all things natural.
That was when I first took responsibility for my own health and healed myself from acne, yeast infections, PMS, mono and depression using only whole foods, energy medicine and natural remedies. If you want to hear more about that, check out this video on my Youtube Channel.
I was so excited to share my discoveries of how to tap into the body’s innate healing forces, that I gave up my career as an esthetician, to work in health food stores so that I could spend my days immersed in natural health.
Over the years, I went on to manage and own my own businesses in the natural health field and graduated with honours from two of Canada’s top nutrition schools.
Since then, I’ve taught people how to do kitchen makeovers, traditional food skills, prenatal nutrition, children's health, gut healing, hormonal health and natural weight loss without dieting - to locally, online and abroad - as well as consulting in private practice since 2006.
Who I am as a person...
You'll love working me if you have an open and curious mind with an insatiable desire to learn, grow, discover and explore new experiences.
- I love simplicity of natural - but I also like luxuriously rustic pleasures (like the warm glow of a wood burning fireplace ....or steamy nights in the hot tub under the moon light!)!
- I love deep conversation and delicious food (with a glass of dry certified organic red wine or a shot of mescal with Kombucha).
- I have a "thing" for the moon, but warm sunshine, a good book, with some dark chocolate and piping hot coffee is my sweet spot!
- My soul loves the buzz of community, adventure & travel - I am always up for a road trip, a plant medicine journey or any other way to explore altered states of consciousness.
- If you know astrology, I'm a Gemini sun in the 4th house (Mercury, IC, Venus), Pisces (Moon, Rising, AX) and Leo in the 6th house with Saturn and Mars placements.
