I’m Verena van der Lely
Registered Dietitian & Menstrual Cycle Educator.
I help clients understand their physiology so they can make informed, effective decisions about their health.
Why This Work Matters to Me
I’m deeply committed to helping women understand their physiology in a clear and practical way. Throughout my training and clinical work, I saw how often symptoms, patterns, and experiences were dismissed or misunderstood. My goal is to bring clarity, strategy, and evidence-based guidance to a space where women deserve better information and more support.
Professional Background
I’m a Registered Dietitian with a Bachelor of Science in Food, Nutrition and Health from the University of British Columbia. My training includes a full clinical dietetic internship and licensing through the College of Health Care Professionals of British Columbia.
My advanced education includes specialized training in:

I continually expand my professional expertise through ongoing clinical and evidence-based education.
My Approach
My work blends clinical nutrition, functional and integrative principles, and menstrual cycle education to identify the root causes behind symptoms, energy shifts, weight changes, and metabolic patterns.
My process looks at the whole picture (physiology, lifestyle, stress, and lived experience) not just what you eat.
My style is direct, clear, and grounded in evidence, while also compassionate and intuitive.
My clients value honesty, depth, and practical strategies that make sense in real life.
My goal is always the same: to help you understand your body so you can make informed, effective decisions about your health.
