Denise Forsythe

Ideal Protein Certified Coach - 3 Phases | Precision Nutrition Level 1 | Supporting Nova Scotians Since 2013

Hi, I’m Denise – your dedicated Ideal Protein Coach, personal empowerment advocate, and transformation partner since 2013.

My journey with Ideal Protein began during a pivotal time in my life, when everything around me was shifting – in family, health, relationships, and finances. Amidst the change, I discovered not only a sustainable path to weight loss, but also a renewed sense of purpose. Through the protocol, I lost 40 pounds, reconnected with myself, and uncovered my passion for helping others do the same.

Now, as a Certified Ideal Protein Coach and Level 1 Precision Nutrition Coach, I support clients across Nova Scotia with one-on-one and virtual coaching tailored to every stage of their journey. My approach is rooted in empathy, empowerment, and practical strategies that help you navigate Ideal Protein’s three lifestyle phases – and the life that unfolds beyond them.

As a proud mom of two (and a devoted plant mom to many!), I believe in nurturing growth in all its forms. Whether I’m tending my garden alongside my husband or supporting clients through their transformation, I see wellness as something we cultivate – together. I always tell my clients: We’re in this for life. Because your health is not just a goal – it’s a lifelong journey. And I’ll be right here to guide, support, and cheer you on every step of the way.

Certified Ideal Protein Coach- 3 Phases - Berwick

Tamara has been a dedicated Ideal Protein Coach since 2017, combining her passion for helping others with her own personal journey toward better health. Before stepping into this role, Tamara worked as a Continuing Care Assistant (CCA) in long-term care at Valley Regional Hospital, where she found deep fulfillment in caring for those in need. After her CCA career was cut short by an injury, she was determined to continue making a difference in people’s lives — and found a new calling in health and wellness coaching.

With a lifelong struggle with body image, Tamara deeply understands the emotional and physical hurdles her clients face. This personal experience allows her to connect on a meaningful level, offering not just guidance, but genuine empathy and encouragement. As a Certified Weight Loss Coach, Tamara is committed to educating her clients, keeping them accountable, and providing the ongoing support they need to achieve their goals and sustain a healthier lifestyle long-term.

Tamara's coaching style is done with warmth and openness - rooted in compassion, faith, and a sincere desire to see others thrive. Outside of coaching, she loves being a Gramma and is someone who's faith in God is near and dear to her. Tamara's caring nature and belief in the power of transformation make her an inspiring guide on your Ideal Protein journey.
