Karissa Gibson

C.H.N.C (Certified Holistic Nutritional Consultant ™) & Founder of Altruition

I am the type of person who is always seeking nuances; subtle differences in or shades of meaning & expression.


KARISSA GIBSON, FOUNDER OF ALTRUITION

full of nuance...

Supporting your mental health & skin health with nutrition, while being anchored in science & fostering creativity; that is Altruition. Altruition's foundation is built on the desire to provide authentic interactions that create a safe place for vulnerability & growth. Providing unequivocal support nutritionally, mentally & creatively is what I aim to achieve through my work at Altruition; hence why I combined altruism & nutrition in the name.  


I am the type of person who is always seeking nuances; subtle differences in or shades of meaning & expression. As a young adult, I had a passion for psychology and sociology & was always intrigued by understanding humans as complex wholes, as well as how we interact with the world around us. This led me to pursue & complete a Bachelor of Arts in Behavioral Science at Ambrose University in 2017. In the midst of receiving my Bachelors, my interests expanded & shifted towards a more creative route & I obtained a Diploma in Makeup with an ITEC Level 2 Certificate in Make-up from the Artists Within Makeup Academy in 2016. In 2021, my interests progressed further to pursue more education around nutrition and I became Certified in Holistic Nutrition through the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition.   


I recently had some mental and physical health concerns occur in my life & it was though those experiences that I became aware of the impact nutrition has on our body. This lead me to reflect on my life experiences & discover how everything from my multifaceted background were connected. At the core of my being there is a desire to work with others to achieve their goals & to create a space where people can feel understood & heard. I was able make multiple connections between nutrition & mental health, as well as makeup application & mental health. Makeup can be connected to skin health & skin health can be connected with both nutrition & mental health. I am excited to create a unique space where makeup can be more than a tool to cover up imperfections but rather a means for supporting our mental health!  

A JOURNEY OF CONNECTION...

  • The Nutrition Connection...
    • Nutrition served as a catalyst for change in my life. As my passion for nutritional wellness deepened, so did my ability to see interconnections between nutrition, skin health & mental health. 
  • The Mental Health Connection… 
    • As someone who has experienced mental illness first-hand in the form of anxiety and depression, mental health support is extremely important to me. I support the trauma-informed approach since traumatic life events have a direct impact on our behavior and how we express ourselves. As I have reflected on my life experience, I also made the connection between mental health & creative expression. 
  • The Creative Connection… 
    • Creative expression for myself shines brightest through makeup application. Makeup & mental health go hand-in-hand as it has the capacity to provide self care and nurture self-expression & confidence. 

MY APPROACH

  • Trauma Informed Approach
  • Evidence-based 
  • Art & Science connection
  • Value individuality 
  • Safe place for vulnerability
  • Nurture creative expression & self expression  
  • Non-judgmental
  • Empowerment is power
  • Encouragement to trust your gut & follow your intuition

A goal of mine is to encourage people around me to shift the narrative when it comes to makeup; that makeup is a creative outlet that can help us build up our confidence rather than a method of simply covering up what we view as our imperfections.
