ACE Nutrition Team

Michelle Deschenes, RDT

Following a 20-year career as a Dietary Technologist in hospitals throughout Canada, I founded ACE Nutrition and Diet Consulting in 2012 because of my passion for preventative health.

It pleases me to help people with everyday challenges of eating so they can be the healthiest and happiest possible. A long and healthy life is ACE Nutrition’s vision for my clients.

I prioritize strategies to optimize energy and health. Taking the fight out of food by combining science and knowledge, I help clients achieve their goals, and bring back the joy of eating.

Maja Kujundzic, RD

As a Registered Dietitian, I have worked in various areas of primary care, acute care and post-acute care settings. My expertise is in metabolism and diabetes, complex medical care, stroke rehab, weight management and mental health.

Nutrition does not have to be complicated. I believe that the food we eat should be nourishing and delicious. After all, food sustains life. It nourishes us, its pleasure, taste and adventure. It brings people together.

Providing evidence-based client centered care, I guide others toward reconnecting with food to nourish their bodies while addressing chronic health conditions. After all, our meals should be delicious as nutritious.
