My name is Lynn Amatuzio and I became very interested
in health and alternative therapies in my early twenties. I decided to
enrol in the Human Kinetics program at Ottawa University. During the 4-year program, I worked at a natural health food
store called the Wheat Berry where I was introduced to a plethora
of unconventional methods of eating and healing.
After graduating, I worked as a L.I.T. coordinator at
Camp Minwassin. This job was great for me as I was able to teach
and share my passion for the great outdoors. My job was to "mould"
selected campers into future camp leaders through challenges such as
ropes course, canoe-tripping and such. The best part of my job was that
I had the opportunity to educate young adults on the importance of
proper nutrition, physical activity and the healing properties of the
wilderness. The following summer I had planned to return but injured my
left knee while rollerblading. I accepted a summer position at the
Ontario Teacher’s Insurance Plan and moved to Waterloo. I worked at
OTIP as an Insurance Broker for over 7 years and decided that I
needed to return to the outdoors and found a job as a canoe and kayak
instructor / trip leader for Canadian Wilderness Trips. I met my
husband that summer and in the fall, we left for a 6-month trip to the
South Pacific.
My interest in nutrition, physical activity,
wilderness and mental wellbeing seemed to intensify after the birth of
our two wonderful children Mia & Nico. I decided to enrol in the
Holistic Nutrition program at the Canadian School of Natural
Nutrition to better understand the impact that dietary choices have
on our family’s health and wellbeing.
In December 2007, I met a Nutritionist/Allergist and the stories she shared about her
work totally inspired me to register in the Holistic Allergist
program at the Institute of Natural Health Technologies. Isn’t it
wonderful how fate works? My profession now combines my passion for
health, nutrition and wellbeing while at the same time allowing me to
educate and empower my clients.
I would feel truly blessed to have the opportunity to
assist you on your path to optimum health!
Sincerely,
Lynn Amatuzio
