I come to YOUR kitchen anywhere in San Luis Obispo County, CA to teach you everything you need to know about whole foods nutrition and preparing the foundation of a healing, revitalizing and delicious wholefoods diet. We'll talk on the phone beforehand, so I can tailor your session to your goals, dietary needs, and taste preferences. Then, I'll email you the list of ingredients for your session. When I arrive, we'll discuss several important topics on wholefoods nutrition and review the informational handouts. Then we'll chop and cook together, and lastly, we'll feast together! 
I can instruct you or your small group for up to 5 sessions - each one takes 2 - 3 hours. Each of the sessions is adaptable to wheat/gluten-free, dairy-free, and candida diets. And you're free to schedule just one session, or up to all five!
I guarantee you’ll love the food AND feel increased vitality after three weeks of consistently eating the wholefoods diet that’s right for you, or I’ll refund your money.
I'd love to talk to you on the phone to answer any questions you may have. (805) 547-9073
