Lisa Chilvers B.A., RHN, RhA

Lisa Chilvers is a registered nutritionist and licensed holistic allergist. Lisa specializes in a powerful approach to health using Desensitization Therapy. This method effectively strengthens the body, desensitizing the individual to virtually any substance. Her practice is rooted in a strong clinical nutrition background, where she uses this training as a tool in the healing process. Lisa’s objective is to heal the person using a whole systems approach, which includes desensitization therapy, nutrition, and other recommendations tailored to the individual’s needs.

Lisa’s approach demystifies nutrition and enables her clients to develop insight and understanding about their health and the mind-body connection. Her training in brain function, cognition, and understanding of how nutrition affects the brain has lead her to create an exciting life-style initiative called Chrysalis. This stepby-step approach to health guides people through a framework for long-term success, and addresses underlying behaviour patterns, belief systems and misinformation on health.

A dynamic and powerful speaker, Lisa is sought after to share her expertise and insight at workshops and seminars. This passion for empowering her clients has led her to co-create Holistic United, an online directory and community connecting holistic practitioners to each other and to potential clients from around the world.
