Hi, I’m Erin Crowell!
I’m the Founder and CEO of Happy Kids Nutrition Academy, but first and foremost, I’m a parent who knows the "veggie struggle" is real. With a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Human Nutrition from Mount Saint Vincent University and over a decade of experience in the nutrition and fitness industry, I’ve dedicated my career to making health education fun and accessible for the next generation.
My mission is to empower kids aged 8-18 to build a positive relationship with food through science-backed, interactive learning. From kinesiology to food science, I believe that when kids understand the why behind their food choices, they develop habits that last a lifetime. I’ve been honored to be featured in Inc. Magazine, Global News, and Start UP Canada, and I’ve had the joy of teaching over 1,000 students across 20 countries. I can’t wait to help your child thrive!
Finally, a nutrition class that actually speaks to my teen! My daughter used to roll her eyes when we talked about 'healthy eating,' but after taking the Intro to Macronutrients course, she’s actually checking labels and explaining to me why she needs more protein after soccer practice. It’s evidence-based and totally zero-stress. Best free resource we’ve found!
