My mission is to empower you to get back into the kitchen,
inspire you to create meals that serve your health goals,
and help you define a nutritional foundation that is sustainable
so that you can nourish your body and thrive for life.  

I MADE THIS PROGRAM ESPECIALLY
​FOR THOSE WHO ARE:

OVERWHELMED AND CONFUSED
by all the diet trends and wondering how to find a nutritional foundation that is easy to live with for the long-term.
READY TO MEAL PLAN
so that you can ditch the nutritionally bankrupt and ultra-processed foods that aren't ​serving your goals.
IN A FOOD RUT,
struggling with what to eat, how to plan, and prepare foods that contribute to a feeling of wellness and achievement of health goals.
READY TO MAKE CHANGES
to your nutritional choices because you're sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, and you're ready to
truly feel nourished.
READY TO LEARN STRATEGIES 
​to promote healthy eating habits that offer balance, results, and are easily sustained to let you
​nourish and thrive.​
READY TO LEARN THE SKILLS
to become your own personal chef, prioritize your health, and understand the nutritional choices that serve you best.

THIS PROGRAM IS NOT FOR YOU IF:

  • You’re perfectly happy to just survive in your food rut
  • Defining healthy eating habits to create a lifestyle of wellness is not that important to you
  • You don’t want to learn ways that you can feel your best without depriving yourself
  • Your menu planning skills revolve around which restaurant menu to order from, and you’re happy to spend the money, even if those choices don't make you feel so great in the long term
After years in the corporate jungle, a company restructuring left me at a crossroads and I decided it was time to take an entrepreneurial path. I was passionate about food and preparing healthy meals, so I decided to make it my business focus and launched my personal chef business.

My mission was to bring families back to the dinner table to enjoy healthy, homemade weeknight suppers. Taking the time to nourish your body with the nutrients that it needs and sharing a meal together at the end of day has been shown to help children in so many positive ways. 

For many families, gathering for a family meal is a luxury that is difficult to accomplish with such hectic schedules and commitments. I spent 14 years helping families, singles, and seniors to eat right and live well.
My experience developed into a passion for my own health, wellness and vitality and helping others to achieve the same. My goal now is to help people reduce their stress, simplify their nutritional decisions and improve their health and overall well-being. I believe that we can all benefit when we invest more time into taking care of ourselves, enjoying our families and going after our dreams and, in doing so, be able to live a fulfilling life.
As a Food Strategy Coach, I offer guidance on the WHAT, HOW, WHY and WHEN with respect to the foods that you choose each day.

​I believe that it's possible to have a life of harmony and ease if you give yourself the right tools. My goals are to:
  • Help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight with a nutritional plan that is simple and balanced​
  • Share my experience, inspiration, strategies, and kitchen tips that I learned as a personal chef to help you simplify your daily meal planning decisions, define strategies to design and develop your own healthy lifestyle and inspire you to get creative in the kitchen
  • Help you gain an understanding of nutrition basics so you can make food choices that best suit your personal needs​
  • Simplify some of your nutritional challenges and help you structure a menu planning strategy that works for you
  • Help you achieve lifelong results that let you nourish and thrive

Nourish & Thrive has everything you need to set yourself up for success!

The Nourish and Thrive Masterclass addresses some of the common struggles we face when it comes to deciding the best way for us to eat to achieve our health goals. This course focuses on helping you with strategies for success by providing you with guidance in defining your goals and identifying what to eat as well as strategies for planning and preparing the foods you should ideally be eating.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Diets are driven by a deprivation mindset and, while they might achieve some results in the short-term, they can also deprive you of the ability to properly nourish your body.

It can be challenging to navigate all of the available options, and all of the complexities of your daily food decisions.

​Understanding how your nutritional choices contribute to the way you feel is a big step in helping you to achieve the results that you need in order to feel your absolute best.

The course offers five (5) modules with videos, presentations, worksheets and a workbook to help you move towards your goal of creating a healthy nutritional lifestyle.

WHAT'S INSIDE

Diets vs Lifestyle ​

This discussion surrounds whether diets work and addresses some of the current diet trends and their benefits and challenges. I also talk about the benefits of defining a healthy lifestyle that is personal and best suited to your needs and goals.

Food Rut Rescue

In this section, I address some of the common struggles we face when it comes to making the best nutritional choices to serve our health, how to set your goals and intentions, getting the kitchen prepared, and discussion of the kitchen skills, tools and cooking methods that may be useful to achieve success.

Nutrition Basics ​

You don't need to be a food scientist, but an understanding of nutrition basics is most helpful. We will cover the types of foods and nutrients that will help you successfully reach your goals, the main building blocks of a nutritious meal and how to evaluate your meal macros, how to spend your calories wisely and how to effectively read nutritional labels.

Even a little bit of planning can go a long way. Planning can help you stay focused and on track with your goals so we will discuss the structure of a meal plan, the meals and snacks within that plan, how to choose recipes that work for you, different strategies to make menu planning easier and how to break down a weekly meal plan into daily activities.

Best Practices ​
