Introduction: My goal is to empower men and women to take control of their energy, weight and health by using whole foods, healthy tips and lifestyle changes, without the use of powders, shakes and food products. My mission is to give you all the tools you need to be able to make your own educated decisions for your health. I work with the whole person, mind, body, and soul...mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally. I am a woman of faith. I believe that developing your spirituality and having a spiritual relationship with God of the universe is how you find purpose and meaning in life. It gives you the ability to forgive, love through the emotional pain, and overcome past hurts, rejection, and trauma. I do not offer a quick fix! We take it at your own pace, through weekly action steps and work on your goals together. The program I offer comes from years of research in the field of health and nutrition. I keep my clients updated on the latest health information. What to expect * you will build confidence about what to eat, how to handle stress, and sleep * you will learn which are the right and wrong foods for your body type and how to incorporate these foods into easy-to-prepare meals and snacks that are inexpensive, delicious,and something your busy, active family will enjoy. * gain more energy, and enjoyment of food, relationships and your life. * look better and glow with health * recognize what is slowing you down or stopping you from having the life and health you want * change bad habits into behaviors that promote health and life-giving habits that last * eliminate cravings/crush the sugar habit *transform your taste buds into good cravings for health-sustaining foods * you will not count calories, or feel deprived * understand which foods you may be sensitive to and learn how to eat around this intolerance. * Be inspired in the kitchen! Learn how to make quick, delicious, EASY, healthy meals without sacrificing flavor. You will learn that healthy eating can be easy, inexpensive and delicious! * Learn movement that is safe, fun, and works your heart, tones muscles, and keeps you fit. Call for a Free 30 minutes session, that helps you understand yourself, your cravings, and why you feel the way you do. It’s a no cost, no obligation, no risk opportunity to learn if we’re a good fit. Then jump into healthy living with whichever program feels right for you. I love teaching people so that they can get well with real food, and that eating healthily can be easy, delicious, and it doesn't have to be expensive! I get excited when someone comes to me and wants to learn, grow and get healthy! I work with clients on a one-to-one approach assessing your needs while using whole foods, exercise and mastering lasting habit change. These tools lead to permanent weight loss and increased energy.

I purchased a cooking class (Mediterranean inspired) for my parents and friends for Christmas last year. Veronica took special care to create an entire meal that catered to their specific tastes. On the day of the class, my parents raved about Veronica's knowledge, patience, and fun! Would absolutely recommend!

Thank you so much, Sam, for your kind words. Your parents and friends were so much fun, and such good sports as they participated in the games. We had a lot of fun and laughs together!

Veronica led a class on Cooking for Energy at my home with about 12 participants. She brought all the ingredients for a Chicken and broccoli stir-fry, homemade granola, berry green smoothie, and strawberries and cream chia pudding. We all got to taste everything she made and received copies of the recipes. I received great feedback from the participants and I personally have made the chia pudding and the homemade granola several times. I make green smoothies often now too. She also gave us many tips on eating for energy. It was a wonderful class and well worth the cost.

Wow! I am so glad I worked with Veronica regarding my health and weight loss. She has totally blown me away regarding her aptitude for getting to the hidden problems we don't even know are there. I was thin when I was young but as I aged, I yo-yo dieted myself over the last 20 years into a lot of added weight. With that weight came problems including osteoarthritis. I had tried nearly every type of weight loss program but I would always gain weight back plus much more. Now that I was over 60, I was concerned due to severe pain that was making it hard to walk and do my exercises. I had to try something else and decided I needed a nutritionist. Veronica took the time to listen and asked questions, getting the information she needed to solve the puzzle. She gave me ideas and I followed everything she asked me to do...these were relatively simple and straightforward ideas that were so powerful. By the next week, I was seeing results and had so much less pain! I didn't know it was even possible to feel this much better. As the month continued, I saw more and more pain relief which has totally changed my mindset and given me so much encouragement. Oh, and the added bonus, I wasn't even trying and had lost 6.5 lbs during the month. I wish I had met Veronica years ago instead of running after the diet solutions that are pushed in the media. Thanks Veronica! You have changed my life.

Thank you Linda, for your kind words. You were indeed a pleasure to work with. You took all of my suggestions and ran with them, and as a result, you got great results!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer several packages to meet the different needs of my clients. Most clients prefer to meet weekly for 45 min. sessions (12 weeks) or monthly (1 hour sessions for 3 months) Some only want a quick one hour phone consultation to get them going in the right direction. Once you set up a phone consultation with me (free 30 minutes), then I will have an idea of what you are looking for and can direct you to the package that best meets your needs. I will then to send a list of fees an services describing each package for you to peruse and choose from. I also teach cooking classes, in my home or your home (depending on location), that demonstrate 3 dishes that are easy to prepare, healthy, and delicious. My cooking classes are very popular and sell out quickly. I do offer packages for those who want individualized instruction with cooking classes.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We meet either once a week or once a month (depending upon which package your choose) by phone/zoom/face time, or at my home for 45 minute sessions. Clients are sent an intake form to complete which helps me know how to pin point health issues. Clients are given action steps each week to work on, and are given recipes, menu planning, food guide, and other resources as needed to help support client's goals. Sometimes I even take the client into my kitchen to demonstrate food preparation.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
BS, MS in Home Economics and Community Services with a focus in Nutrition, Certification as a Nutrition Educator and Health Coach through Holistic MBA, Training through INL (Institute of Nutritional Leadership), currently studying through Carmen Hunter Health Coaching for Business. I have researched, trained and studied the many aspects of nutrition, and pride myself in keeping up with the latest information, fads and truth. I have spent the past 20 years learning and sharing what I know to others, by teaching nutrition classes, speaking to groups and organizations and by doing consulting work. I have taught many cooking classes and still teach in the community and in my home.
