I have no words for how amazing the Balanced Practice is. I'm coming up on 2 years now working with Joelle and it has been absolutely life-changing. While this kind of internal work can be slow, frustrating, and exhausting, having such wonderful support every step of the way is for me, crucial. Joelle has been with me from the time when I needed 2 sessions a week till now, going on one session every 6 weeks. Thank you so much to the whole team for being part of my recovery and growth.

I've been working with Marie-Pier and her team for years now. The Balanced Practice is one of my top referrals for adjunct eating disorder treatment and we often work collaboratively. In a field where services are often lacking or not well treated, it is refreshing to work with professionals who are knowledgeable, skilled and care deeply about eating disorder treatment. I would absolutely recommend this practice to my clients.

Marie-Pier is incredibly helpful in navigating recovering from an eating disorder/disordered eating. It’s been a truly eye opening and beneficial experience and Marie-Pier is a joy to work with. I highly recommend The Balanced Practice!

Working with Marie-Pier has been a life changing experience for me and I will never find words strong enough to express my gratitude. I did her 6 months program and it changed everything for me in terms of my relationship to my body and food & exercise. After years and years of dieting, having a eating disorder, kind of recovering and falling back right into it, this has been the biggest shift I have experienced in my life. Marie-Pier is so kind and compassionate. Her knowledge and down to earth approach makes the whole recovery process a safe environnement where you can learn more about yourself and slowly find you way. She is always there to support you and the materials she has made available for her clients are incredible. I found her at a time where I saw no light at the end of the tunnel and I can safely say that I am walking in the light now, on the other side of the tunnel, on a new path of growth. Thank you Dear Marie-Pier, for everything you do. You are amazing!

Marie-Pier is a great support full of knowledge and skills to heal your relationship with food and your body (her 6 month program). I always felt comfortable talking to her and she shared a lot of compassion and was never judgmental.

Marie-Pier is a suberb dietician! She is very knowledgeable and attentive. She adapts to my needs, listens to what I ask, and suggests new approaches that are tailored to my lifestyle. After looking over my diet, she created a meal plan that was based on the foods that I already eat! I was very impressed by this because it made the change feel much easier - it just felt like I was eating my own regular food with a few tweaks. I love that she is not one bit pushy, a very hoest person. She’s abolutely great I highly reccomend her!

Marie-Pier is amazing and unlike any dietitian I have ever encountered before! She genuinely understands the struggles we go through and is there to provide valuable insight, sound nutritional advice (that is actually evidence-based!) and friendly words of encouragement. One of the reasons she is unique is that she offers long term plans that support you over a period of several months, during which she helps you track patterns in attitudes, thoughts and behaviors. I believe this is really the most helpful element of her service as it gives me confidence that the changes I’m making are more likely to be sustainable long term. I can't say enough good things about her as a professional- she is truly great at what she does!

I like Marie's approach on focusing on everything in moderation as opposed to forced restriction when it comes to making food choices. I also like her honesty when it comes to "cheating" and not punishing yourself for one bad decision. Her upbeat and positive attitude make her videos and messages a pleasure!

Marie-Pier is one of the most positive and compassionate individuals I have ever met. She takes a very realistic and non- restrictive approach to nutrition that leads to a sustainable lifestyle. She truly cares about her clients and will work hard for them so they can achieve positive lifestyle milestones. She also has a fitness background so she understands the healthy balance between nutrition and fitness. I highly recommend Marie-Pier’s services

MP has been helping my daughter. She was diagnosed with anorexia in January. In the 6 months that MP has been seeing her, we have seen HUGE changes in our daughter's relationship with food and how she sees herself. MP is always available to answer questions or guide us. Our daughter is eating again and her health and state of mind have both improved. In tandem with our daughter's psychologist, things have moved forward and our happy and healthy daughter is coming back! I don't know where we would be if we had not stumbled upon MP....I could not ask for anyone better. Our daughter truly sees her as a mentor, a friend and most importantly an integral part if her recovery! Thanks MP!!
