Hi, my name is Li, and I am a registered dietitian. I support clients with evidence-based nutrition alongside a holistic approach rooted in Chinese Medicine.

I was born in Shanghai, China and came to Vancouver in 2002 to pursue undergraduate studies. I graduated in 2008 with Bachelor of Science, Food Nutrition and Health with Honours (Dietetics Major) from the University of British Columbia.

I completed my dietetics internship with Northern Health and gained valuable experience in a variety of areas, such as Diabetes, Outpatient Nutrition Counseling, Chronic Kidney Disease and Dialysis, Internal Medicine, Surgery, Intensive Care, Residential Care, Community Nutrition, and Foodservice Management.

Since becoming a dietitian in 2008, I have worked in various clinical settings at Vancouver Coastal Health, such as Diabetes Centre, Outpatient Nutrition Counseling, Residential Care, Neurosciences, Outpatient Swallowing clinic, Surgery, and Internal Medicine.

In the past, I have also worked as a Nutrition Tour Leader with Overwaitea Food Group and a Diabetes Educator with Chinese Community Health Society. In addition, I volunteered my time as a Nutrition Educator with Canadian Diabetes Association and a Newspaper Column Writer for MingPao Vancouver.

Most recently from April 2020-March 2025, I completed four year online traditional Chinese medicine courses from HOPE Traditional Chinese Medicine School in Beijing. This provided me with the knowledge to be able to view our food, body, and health conditions with a more holistic understanding. I am really looking forward to working with you and help support you on your journal to better health.
