This Mother's Day I can't think of a better way to spend quality time with your Mom than learning about healthy and delicious ingredients as well as having an experience to remember and continue to use in your path to a healthier lifestyle!

 In my upcoming Workshops and Cooking classes you can learn more about Smoothies and Juicing, adding more Raw Foods to your diet and why this is so health promoting, and how to make a Thai Inspired Meal taste delicious without processed and refined ingredients and satisfy your cravings with all of those delicious and authentic flavours! All of these classes are gluten-free, dairy-free and plant based. 

My classes are unique in a way that they are interactive, small class sizes leaving lots of room for questions, interactions, and learning, and I use a very hands on approach to learning. In these classes you will learn about beneficial ingredients that you can add in your everyday meals, budget saving tips, time saving preparation techniques, and most of all how healthy food can taste so delicious!
