Meet our Team
Carlia Lozo
(she/her)
FOUNDER, CERTIFIED INTUITIVE EATING COUNSELLOR & NON-DIET DIETITIAN (APD)
Hey there, beautiful soul! I'm Carlia, the heart and soul behind Welcome to Wellbeing, where I proudly serve as the Founder, Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor, Credentialed Eating Disorder Clinician and a Non-Diet Dietitian.
I have over a decade of experience in providing 1:1 nutrition counselling to women experiencing challenges related to food, body image concerns, and eating disorders. I’m a kind, empathetic and caring clinician with a passion for empowering women to embrace their authentic selves by nurturing a compassionate relationship with food, body, and self.
Drawing from my own lived experience of mental health challenges, I understand that recovery and healing require vulnerability, courage, and trust in the process, along with mindful self-compassion. This personal understanding has deepened my ability to connect with and guide other women to wholeheartedly embrace their authentic selves, cultivating self-acceptance, self-love, and authenticity in how they relate to food, body, and self.
Welcome to Wellbeing has continued to grow and evolve over the years. As we embark on this exciting new chapter, I look forward to assisting even more women through our diverse range of services and programs.
Beyond my work, I'm passionate about living a conscious and authentic life, cherishing precious moments with my young family.
