“MAKE EVERY BITE COUNT” PROGRAM: 1:1 Virtual Nutrition + Health Coaching Sessions

I’m happy you found me. You might be here because you are tired of yo-yo diets that never work. You have low energy with no motivation, or perhaps you need guidance in choosing the right foods for your body’s needs.

Are you feeling restricted and deprived from avoiding the foods you love? Do you find yourself eating mindlessly or when under stress? Not sure how many meals you should be eating in a day?

Meet me online via Skype, Zoom, Facetime or phone for 5 or 10 X 60 minute appointments to put a personalized plan in place for long-term results: This program teaches you to develop and break down goals so they are achievable.

Below are the various topics that I can bring in to your office, team building event or corporate retreat. These seminars can be booked individually or as a 6 part series at a discounted rate. Each class runs 60-75 minutes and a digital copy of my Healthy Little Bites recipe book will be emailed to all participants after the program. Some corporations I have presented my Workplace Wellness and Green Living seminars to are Inspire Health, Sterling Fence Co, UFCW union workers for Safeway Canada, Sobey’s and Kroger Foods, Capilano Community Services Society, Yyoga Vancouver, Fasken Law, and Nature’s Fare Markets.

“Thank you for showing us the tools we need on a daily basis. I never knew the power of meditation!” 

“Your presentation was full of solid info that is easy to action.  The 4 ‘M’s approach provided a lot of value and for me personally, the 2nd ‘M’ – having a mantra, is one I’ve taken away and added to my own well being routine.”.
