Introduction
Chartier Physiotherapy and Multidisciplinary Clinic offers nutrition counselling with a registered dietitian nutritionist at our Gatineau Plateau location. Whether you are managing a health condition, working toward a specific nutrition goal, or simply want to eat in a way that supports your life, our dietitian provides personalized, practical guidance rooted in science and tailored to your reality.
Our nutrition services complement the physiotherapy, osteopathy, and massage therapy we already offer. For clients recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, or building long-term healthy habits, having a nutrition professional as part of your care team can make a meaningful difference.
How Nutrition Counselling Works at Our Gatineau Clinic
Step 1: Your Initial Consultation
Your first visit with our registered dietitian is a longer session (typically around 60 minutes) that includes a complete review of your medical history, current eating habits, lifestyle, and goals. This is not a lecture. It is a conversation designed to understand your full context before any recommendations are made.
Step 2: Your Personalized Nutrition Plan
You leave your first consultation with a practical, personalized plan built around your life, not a generic meal plan. This may include specific food strategies, habit-building steps, education materials, and measurable goals you can start applying right away. A receipt valid for insurance reimbursement or tax purposes is provided after each visit.
Step 3: Follow-Up Sessions
Lasting nutrition change rarely happens in one visit. Follow-up sessions (typically 30 or 45 minutes) allow your dietitian to track your progress, adjust your plan, and support you through real-world challenges. Many clients benefit from a series of sessions over several months to consolidate change.
Step 4: Collaboration with Your Care Team
When appropriate, and with your consent, your dietitian can collaborate with your physiotherapist, physician, or other members of your care team at Chartier Physio so that your nutrition plan supports your broader health goals. This is especially valuable for clients in rehabilitation or managing multiple conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions – Nutrition Services in Gatineau
What is the difference between a nutritionist and a dietitian in Gatineau?
In Quebec, both titles are protected. A Dt.P. (Diététiste Professionnelle, or Registered Dietitian) has completed a university degree in nutrition, supervised practice, and is registered with the Ordre des diététistes-nutritionnistes du Québec (ODNQ). Our dietitian is qualified to provide medical nutrition therapy in addition to general nutrition counselling.
Do I need a doctor’s referral to see a nutritionist in Gatineau?
No referral is required. You can book directly through our clinic.
Are nutrition consultations covered by insurance?
Most private extended health insurance plans cover consultations with a registered dietitian. A receipt valid for reimbursement or tax purposes is provided after each appointment. Please confirm coverage details with your own insurer.
How long is a consultation with the dietitian in Gatineau?
Your first session is typically around 60 minutes to allow for a complete assessment and personalized plan. Follow-up sessions of 30 or 45 minutes support ongoing progress.
Can I see the nutritionist online if I do not live in Gatineau?
Yes. Virtual consultations by video or phone are available for clients anywhere in Quebec or Ontario. Virtual sessions are just as effective as in-person for most nutrition goals.
In which languages can I book my appointment?
Consultations are available in both French and English.
Do you treat eating disorders?
Our dietitian can support clients working on their relationship with food and building healthy habits, but active eating disorder care typically requires a specialized multidisciplinary team. If this is your concern, please contact us and we will help point you in the right direction.
