“I grew up in the happiest home - my parents were really adventurous, and I was very lucky.”
“For most of my adult life, I always had this pain in my gut, but because I had to survive, and I had to pay the rent, I needed the roof over our head and food for us to eat and some clothes.”

“I started doing runway work when I was 15, and I remember meeting a model who was 30 - ancient, for the industry - and everyone was so happy to see her. As I've gotten older, I've experience the same thing. People are just thrilled to see me modeling!”

“If there's foods I don't like, like kale, it doesn't mean that I'm not efficient in my diet; it just means I can eat broccoli and other green vegetables.

“I just think a big smile and feeling confident makes you beautiful.”
“I would say 20 percent of my time is alone, which I love.”
“When I got divorced, I knew I needed to step it up, so I taught nutrition at a college, modeled, and built my dietitian practice all over Canada.”
