Through sheer hard work and a strong sense of purpose, Sylvia has earned three university degrees: one each from Metropolitan Toronto University (Formerly Ryerson), York, and Wilfrid Laurier University. Without a doubt, Sylvia has faced some of life’s inevitable challenges.

I have been working with Sylvia for 2 years now and I highly recommend her. I initially came to Sylvia because i was looking for a therapist who specialized in disordered eating (which i have been suffering from for more than 2 decades). She was the only one I found that was both a dietician and a psychotherapist, which i thought was a winning combination. Working with her exceeded my expectations. I am healthier and no longer indulge in self-destructive eating behaviours. I feel more confident in my ability to handle life stresses, especially in standing up for myself and creating healthy boundaries. Also, my relationships with my parents greatly improved, after being strained all my life. It's been a long and hard process, but Sylvia has made it achievable for me. She is understanding, empathetic, and encouraging. She provides useful advice and tools that work. She is respectful and honest - she tells me what I need to hear instead of what I want to hear, and that has been invaluable to me. I am happy I found her.
I'm very surprised by the negative review written about Sylvia, and can assure you that the comments about her lack of sensitivity, tact, and empathy are not true. I am recovering from disordered eating and Sylvia has been a huge part to my success. She has provided me with the tools I need to regain control of my life and to challenge my fear of food. She is sincerely understanding of my problems and we've had meaningful, truly enlightening conversations. I highly recommend her services.
I was greatly helped by Eating Dynamiks and Therapy’s services. Sylvia brings a rare blend of knowledge about nutrition combined with therapeutic expertise and compassion in helping people manage their issues surrounding food – a winning combination that can help unlock long-held resistance to balanced eating and uncover emotional connections that can hamper one’s progress toward overall well-being. I came to Sylvia with decade-long food intolerances and no relief or satisfactory diagnosis to help me make sufficient, healthful food choices. My mental health was suffering and I had become afraid – almost phobic – of eating. She worked with me to introduce new “challenge” foods at a manageable pace and to clear some of the emotional obstacles that stood in my way. I left mere months later with a much more varied menu and greater insight into which foods were actually problematic – and I can now enjoy the pleasures of eating again and look forward to greater overall health and well being. And this was even without the benefit of face-to-face meetings during the pandemic (and the only reason I did not give five stars).
I have been with Sylvia for a couple of months working with her for dietetics as well as pyschotherapy. Sylvia is kind, compassionate, and understanding. She always makes me feel validated and heard and always makes great effort to understand me. I always look forward to our conversations because I leave feeling empowered and capable of creating my own happiness. She is wonderful. I highly recommend.
