Blume Therapy and Wellness | Casual / Part-Time Independent Contractor Position | Virtual

About Blume Therapy and Wellness

Blume Therapy and Wellness is a virtual wellness practice dedicated to supporting individuals navigating chronic illness, complex medical diagnoses, and significant life transitions. We believe in a whole-person approach to health and wellness, recognizing the interconnected relationship between physical health, mental health, nutrition, and the nervous system.

Our practice is grounded in compassionate, trauma-informed, and person-centred care. We strive to create a supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make choices that support their overall well-being.

We are looking for a Registered Dietitian who shares this philosophy and is passionate about helping individuals develop a healthier, more supportive relationship with food, nutrition, and their bodies.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Registered Dietitian to join our growing team on a casual, part-time contract basis, with opportunities for growth as the practice expands.

The ideal candidate will have a special interest or experience in digestive health, cancer care, chronic illness, and autoimmune conditions. They will bring a holistic, individualized approach to nutrition counselling, moving beyond traditional diet-focused recommendations to consider the broader factors influencing health, digestion, nourishment, and quality of life.

This role is an opportunity to build a caseload at a comfortable pace, contribute to a collaborative multidisciplinary practice, and help shape the development of nutrition services within Blume.

Areas of Focus

The Registered Dietitian will support individuals navigating a range of health conditions and experiences, including:

Digestive diseases and disorders: IBD - Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, IBS, functional gastrointestinal disorders (DGBIs), and other chronic digestive conditions.

Cancer and oncology: Nutritional support throughout diagnosis, treatment, recovery, survivorship, and palliative care.

Autoimmune conditions: Nutrition support for individuals living with autoimmune and inflammatory conditions.

Chronic illness: Supporting individuals managing complex,



ongoing health conditions and their nutritional needs.

Food-related anxiety and challenges: Supporting individuals experiencing food fear, restrictive eating patterns related to medical conditions, changes in appetite, and challenges navigating food following a diagnosis.

General health and wellness: Supporting sustainable nutrition habits, nourishment, energy, and overall quality of life.

Key Responsibilities

Provide individualized nutrition assessments and evidence-informed nutrition counselling.

Develop practical, personalized nutrition recommendations that reflect each client's medical history, symptoms, nutritional needs, lifestyle, and personal goals.

Support clients in navigating the nutritional challenges associated with digestive disease, cancer, autoimmune conditions, and chronic illness.

Emphasize food addition, nourishment, and nutritional adequacy rather than unnecessary restriction or elimination.

Help clients develop a more versatile, balanced, and positive relationship with food.

Provide education around the gut-brain connection, inflammation, digestion, and the role of nutrition in overall health.

Collaborate with other members of the multidisciplinary team when appropriate and with client consent.

Maintain appropriate clinical documentation and adhere to professional and regulatory standards.

Participate in opportunities for collaboration, professional development, and service growth.

Our Approach to Nutrition

We believe nutrition should be about what we can add to support the body, rather than everything we need to remove.

We recognize that individuals living with chronic illness often receive overwhelming, conflicting, and restrictive dietary advice. Our goal is to offer a different experience: one that prioritizes nourishment, flexibility, evidence-informed care, and the individual's unique circumstances.

We value a dietitian who:

Takes a holistic,



whole-person approach to nutrition and health.

Prioritizes addition over restriction wherever clinically appropriate.

Understands that nutrition is not one-size-fits-all, particularly for individuals with complex medical conditions.

Practices from a weight-inclusive, non-judgmental, and compassionate framework.

Understands the relationship between physical health, mental health, stress, and the nervous system.

Recognizes the emotional and psychological impacts of living with chronic illness and navigating food-related challenges.

Empowers clients to make informed decisions without creating additional fear, guilt, or anxiety around food.

Qualifications and Experience

Registered Dietitian (RD) in good standing with the applicable provincial regulatory college.

Experience or a strong clinical interest in digestive health, oncology, chronic illness, and/or autoimmune conditions.

Strong understanding of evidence-based medical nutrition therapy.

Experience providing individualized nutrition counselling.

Familiarity with weight-inclusive, trauma-informed, and person-centred approaches to care.

Excellent communication, interpersonal, and clinical documentation skills.

Comfortable providing virtual services.

Ability to work independently while contributing to a collaborative team environment.

Additional training or experience in gastrointestinal nutrition, oncology nutrition, eating disorder-informed care, or integrative and holistic nutrition is considered an asset.

Why Join Blume?

Join a growing, values-driven multidisciplinary practice.

Work within a collaborative team that values whole-person care.

Build a caseload that aligns with your interests and availability.

Have the opportunity to shape and develop a growing nutrition service.

Contribute to a more compassionate, individualized approach to supporting people living with chronic illness.

We are looking for someone who believes that nutrition care should feel supportive, empowering, and accessible — not overwhelming or restrictive.
