Plant-Based R.H.N.

Throughout the year I offer a variety of cooking and nutrition classes, which are geared to different interest groups:

1) I offer introductory level classes for those who are interested in learning more about the benefits and practicalities of including more plant-based foods in their diet, as well as healthy cooking for busy people, for people who want to learn skills for eating more healthfully, even when they don't have a lot of time. 

2) I offer chronic disease classes, to help people who are suffering from common chronic diseases, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes and cancer, how to eat and cook to support healing. Some of these are focused on a specific chronic diseases (e.g. Eating for a Healthy Heart), while others are more general.

3) I offer second-level classes for people who have taken one of the classes mentioned above and want to continue learning.

4) I offer workshops to schools and public organizations such as the Library that are designed to teach children about healthy eating and living.

5) I am in the process of developing some online classes, which will be launched in 2018, to make classes and information more affordable and accessible for people with limited time or money.

I also offer ongoing consulting services through the year, working with clients one-on-one, or with families, to help them transition successfully to a healthier lifestyle and diet.
