Heather Resvick R.H.N. -
Registered Holistic Nutritionist

“Health is a matter of choice, not a mystery of chance” ~ Aristotle

Heather was raised in London, ON, the first born in a close knit family. As a child and young adult Heather was actively involved in competitive sports, she loved going to school and took pride in learning something new every day. While Heather has always had a passion for nutrition her post secondary education was in sciences. During this time Heather struggled with many health issues and became empowered to search out answers and alternatives when traditional approaches were incomplete or ineffective.

Heather worked in the financial services industry as an assistant at a brokerage firm for 10 years. As a ‘people person’ Heather thrived in this fast paced and hectic lifestyle but following the premature birth of her daughter 2004 and the challenges that followed she realized what as truly important and for Heather that was family, health and well being.

The Canadian School of Natural Nutrition became the synergy that Heather was looking for. Formal studies in the area of Holistic Nutrition have provided the frame work from which Heather has built her consulting practice. Looking at the whole person who is unique in make-up and constitution allows for a comprehensive and personal approach. Heather’s enthusiasm for an integrated and balanced model of health and wellness provide the foundation for her recommendations.

A sought out speaker and educator, Heather currently lives in Barrhaven with her husband and daughter.

Lisa Brennan, B.A. Hons Spanish

Lisa was born in Kingston, Ontario and grew up in the 1000 Islands region, just outside of Brockville. A typical small town country girl, she loved to ride her bike to the beach in the summers and cross country ski in the woods in the winters. She was very active in school, playing many sports but her favourites were basketball and volleyball. She got the opportunity to participate in a student exchange program in grade 11 and after 3 months in Spain, realized her love of languages. That led to her enrolling in the University of Ottawa in the Honours Spanish program. After studying her third year at the Universidad de Malaga, Spain, and becoming fluent in the language, she graduated with her Bachelor of Arts degree, graduating cum laude.

After working for many years as a park ranger at a campsite, Lisa grew to love the tourism industry and the fact that you could meet people from all over the world. That experience and her language skills landed her a job as a destination representative in Cancun, Mexico for Signature Vacations. After one year abroad, she decided that living life out of a suitcase was not the life for her so she settled back into Ottawa where she continued working for SV as a business development rep.

Lisa only recently became aware of the benefits of chiropractic care as she became a patient while pregnant with her second child. She instantly felt right at home with the team at Marketplace Family Chiropractic and embraced the warm, friendly atmosphere and positive energy that filled the room. She has learned a lot about the body’s amazing ability to heal itself and truly believes that we have the power to be physically, emotionally and spiritually healthy if we include regular chiropractic care as part of our self-care routine.

Lisa continues to learn about ways to enrich the health and happiness of herself and her family. She has a wonderful husband and is blessed with two beautiful children, Ella and Wesley. She loves just being a family and seeing life through the eyes of a child. When she has some down time, she enjoys camping, hiking, biking, rollerblading, reading and travelling.
