Anne Durocher

Dietician

Native of Canada and graduated from the University of Montreal, I moved to Europe in 2002. Over my 14 years of private practice, exchanges with customers and colleagues and using my experience and my training in Canadian hospitals, I asked myself a simple question … “How can eating healthier and staying fit become Facile, Accessible and Zen?”

This question made me take a turn in my career and spawned: • a new approach of nutrition in my 1st office • much more effective results • an explosion of word of mouth • strong customer demand for our services in other cities • the idea of sharing the methods and tools by creating a partnership with other dieticians
