Not interested in set meal plans but you are looking for some daily accountability and inspiration? I work mostly with women over 40, with a focus on healthy weight loss, in an ongoing program which includes:

• daily accountability check-ins via text to discuss diet and fitness plans for the day
• support and ideas for meals and snacks that include the proper ingredients to suit your goals and health (this can change constantly as your hormones fluctuate, adrenals get overworked, you travel, you want to try a cleanse or re-set, or you’re fighting a cold!)
• healthy ingredient swaps for your favourite meals and snacks
• ongoing re-evaluation of long and short term wellness goals
• Still curious or ready to get started? Start by filling out this assessment form and your Coach will be in touch

Vancouver Lunch n’ Learns

Studies have shown that a workplace wellness program can:

• Reduce the number of absences
• Improve productivity and performance
• Build a happier workplace environment
• Encourage teamwork, support and collaboration
• Inspire employees to take better care of themselves while at work and off

All through learning the ins and outs of proper nutrition, stress reduction and health-boosting techniques that benefit the mind and body.

Below are the various topics that I can bring in to your office or event. These can be booked individually or as a 6 part series at a discounted rate. 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 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.”.
