Meet Sara Lodge

RHN, NNCP

Hi! I'm Sara! Welcome!

Meet Sara Lodge – Your Holistic Health Practioner

I’m Sara Lodge (RHN, NNCP) — a passionate Holistic Nutritionist and Certified in Lymphatic Drainage Massage serving Kitchener–Waterloo and across Southern Ontario.

My journey into holistic health began with my own struggles with IBS, sparking a deep dive into the powerful brain‑gut connection and how our bodies truly heal.

Why I Love the Lymphatic System

I’m utterly fascinated by the lymphatic system basically a silent superhero that quietly supports immunity, detoxification, and fluid balance. I geek out on explaining how lymphatic drainage massage can:

Boost immune function by accelerating lymph flow
Reduce inflammation and fluid retention
Support digestion, mental clarity, and overall vitality

It’s endlessly inspiring to help people feel how interconnected our systems are, from gut health to emotional well-being. I LOVE talking nerdy about how our bodies are designed to heal, detox, and thrive.

Ready to activate your healing journey?

Foster a judgement‑free space where questions about food, digestion, energy, or lymph flow are always welcome

My Experience with IBS

I was diagnosed with IBS, Digestive issues and Food Intolerances at 19 years old.

My stress went right to my gut. The bloating was so bad, I always looked like I was 6 months pregnant. Plus, the bloating would make my stomach fart all the time. It was so embarrassing. I found myself not wanting to attend events, parties, dates...anything to avoid that discomfort and embarrassment.

I got to the point where I said, "I need to do something about this!"

I hit the nutrition books and never looked back.

What IS holistic nutrition?

Training & Philosophy

I’m a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and a proud member of the Canadian Association of Natural Nutrition Professionals. Since graduating in 2017, I’ve supported women on their wellness journeys by addressing the body as a whole — blending nutrition, nervous system regulation, and lymphatic health to create lasting, sustainable change.

In 2020, I completed Yale University’s Science of Well-Being program, weaving evidence-based mindset strategies into my work to support emotional and mental clarity.

In 2022, I became certified in Restorative Yoga, and now regularly guide classes that focus on nervous system reset, embodied stillness, and deep rest — helping clients come home to themselves in a grounded and supported way.

In 2025, I completed advanced training in Lymphatic Drainage Massage, a powerful, non-invasive therapy that complements digestive and detoxification support by promoting gentle flow, reducing inflammation, and whole-body vitality.

My Personal Journey Became a Professional Mission

My work is rooted in personal experience and a deep understanding of what it means to feel disconnected from your body.

My mission is to help women gain clarity around their digestion, reconnect to their gut instincts, and recognize the deep impact that stress, anxiety, and emotional overload have on the body. I believe healing happens when we address both the physical systems and the energetic patterns beneath the surface.

Whether it’s through nutrition, lymphatic drainage, or restorative yoga, I want to help you feel lighter, clearer, and more confident in your body, not just symptom-free, but deeply supported and empowered to thrive.
