Guides & programsLearn at your own pace
Not everyone needs a one-to-one session. These are the things I would otherwise explain in a consultation, written down once and properly, so you can work through them in your own time.
A consultation is not the only way in.
Some people want a plan built around their own history, and that is what the consultations and the assessment are for. Other people don't need me sitting across from them — they need the principles explained clearly, in an order that makes sense, with the recipes and the shopping already worked out.
These guides are the second thing. They cost a fraction of a session, they are yours to keep, and nothing in them is held back to make you book something else.
They are written the same way I work: food first, no fear, no thirty-step protocol, and honest about where the evidence is strong and where it isn't.
What's available
Every guide is a PDF you download and keep. Read it on a phone, a laptop, or print the whole thing and put it in a binder — several of them are designed to be printed.
These guides are being written now. Titles, contents and prices may change before they're released.
The Balanced Plate
For anyone who wants to eat better and genuinely doesn't know where to start. The foundation everything else is built on.
- What a plate actually needs — protein, fibre, fat and colour — and why
- Fourteen everyday meals built on the same framework, so you learn the pattern rather than follow a plan
- A printable one-page plate guide for the fridge door
- How to shop for it, including on a tight week
- What to do when the day goes sideways, because it will
Steady Energy
For the three o'clock crash, the three a.m. wake-up, and the coffee-and-nothing-until-lunch pattern that feels normal until it doesn't.
- Week by week: what to change, and in what order, rather than all at once
- How protein, fibre and carbohydrate spread across a day affects how you feel in it
- A simple food, energy and sleep tracker — and how to read it back
- Twenty-two recipes built for steady energy rather than for photographs
- Four short email check-ins across the month to keep it moving
Okanagan Seasons
Eating with what is actually growing here, written for this valley rather than for a magazine in another country.
- What's in season in the Okanagan, month by month
- What to do with a glut — freezing, drying and simple preserving without special equipment
- Forty recipes organised by season instead of by course
- Where to buy well locally, and when the premium is worth paying
- Winter, honestly — how to eat seasonally when nothing is growing
From the Land
The plants and traditional foods that grow around us, and what they have fed people for a very long time.
- Fifteen plants and foods in detail — dandelion, nettle, rose hips, yarrow, mullein, cattail, wild mushrooms and more
- How each has been used as food, and what it contains nutritionally
- Identification cautions and poisonous lookalikes, stated plainly and early
- Preparation — teas, broths, ferments and drying
- Whose knowledge this is, and what I am not claiming to speak for
Reading the Label
For standing in the supplement aisle with eleven bottles of magnesium and a strong feeling of being sold to.
- What an NPN on a Canadian product actually tells you — and what it doesn't
- The difference between a licensed claim and a manufacturer's marketing copy
- Forms and doses: where the price difference is real, and where it is packaging
- Five questions worth asking before you buy anything
- The times the honest answer is food, not a bottle
The Whole Shelf
If you'd rather not pick. All four guides and the four-week program, in one go.
- The Balanced Plate, Steady Energy, Okanagan Seasons, From the Land and Reading the Label
- Any new guide added in the following twelve months, at no extra cost
- One download, one receipt, nothing to decide between
Start with something that costs nothing
Coming soon. Seven Everyday Meals will be a short PDF — seven meals I actually cook, with the reasoning behind each one and a shopping list that covers all of them. It's a fair sample of how the paid guides are written.
No sequence of sales emails afterwards. You'll hear from me when there's something worth sending.
Three steps, no account to create
You buy it
Card payment on a secure checkout. No membership, no password to remember, no subscription that quietly renews.
It arrives straight away
A download link appears the moment the payment goes through, and the same link is emailed to you so it isn't lost.
It stays yours
Download it as many times as you like, on as many devices as you like, and print it. If a guide is updated, you get the new version free.
Which one, if you're not sure
If you've never been taught the basics — start with The Balanced Plate. Everything else assumes it.
If the problem is energy, and you're tired in a way that sleep doesn't fix, Steady Energy is built for exactly that and is the one to start with.
If you already eat well and want to eat closer to home, Okanagan Seasons and From the Land are the interesting ones.
If you're mainly confused by supplements, Reading the Label costs less than one bottle and will probably save you the price of several.
If any of this is tied to a diagnosed condition, a medication, a pregnancy, or something that has been going on for a long time — a guide is the wrong tool. Book the free fifteen-minute call and we'll work out what you actually need, which may well be your doctor rather than me.
What these are, and what they aren't
These guides are general educational information. They are not medical advice, they are not a treatment for anything, and they are not personalised to you — by definition, since I haven't met you. Nothing in them is intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or health condition.
I'm a Registered Holistic Nutritionist. I'm not a physician and not a licensed dietitian, and I don't provide medical nutrition therapy for diagnosed conditions. More on scope of practice.
Foraging carries real risk. Several edible plants have poisonous lookalikes, some are unsafe in pregnancy, and some interact with medication. That guide is written to be read alongside proper identification resources and local knowledge — never as your only source. Never eat a wild plant or fungus unless you are completely certain of its identity.
The guide also describes traditional foods and uses. I don't speak for any Nation, and I'm not a knowledge keeper of Indigenous traditional foods or medicines. Where something is someone else's knowledge, the guide says so.
Questions
What format are they in?
Is this a meal plan?
Will a guide tell me what's wrong with me?
Can I buy one and still book a session later?
Do you have a bulk or clinic rate?
Fifteen minutes, free, no pitch
If you can't tell which of these would help — or whether any of them would — just ask. I'll tell you honestly, including when the answer is that you don't need to buy anything.
