Personal Chef Services (FULL)
As a Holistic Nutritionist I have the advantage of being able to prepare nutrient dense, whole food meals for specific health conditions.
If you are going through chemotherapy or you suffer from inflammatory conditions such as arthritis or have digestive issues such as celiac; I can prepare weekly or biweekly meals that encourage healing and help bring the body back to balance.
Many people want their families to eat a balanced diet but they do not have time, that is why I am here as well. Imagine you and your family coming home to a fridge filled with fresh whole food meals for the week? Awesome right?
You can also hire me and take me on your next vacation, many clients hire me to cook their food while on vacation to have more time with their families, to cater to a specific allergy that they may have and to eat healthier. It's actually quite cost effective!

Here is what my community are saying!
“I wanted to tell you that my session I had with you about 2 years ago has changed my life profoundly and I cannot thank you enough. The TRE, the blue-blockers, the books you suggested- they have all been a god send and sent me down a path that I am forever grateful for. I can’t ever go back to my old life. My husband and I were talking about you the other day and he said “well you certainly can’t argue with her results and how much she has done for you. It’s been amazing”. And he’s right. Even though the menopause is playing with my emotions a bit- I feel mentally stronger than I have in a very long time too. And I think that is thanks to diet, sleep and also not willing to settle for less than a stellar life. So I thank you immensely. You are a wonderful person and your knowledge and kindness has changed me forever.

““Okay so well done! So far Jake loves the egg bites, the bread he was open to and ate half a piece, soup yes, bean salad he said smells pretty good and then he shrugged and said it’s good lol! Egg bites and bread he said they smell not good but taste great. Joe of course was excited and loved it all. Oh and the omega 3 oil Jake said he loved and wanted more. It’s all amazing to me and Ehren too. Oh he loved ranch dip too. You are a gift, thank you!!! Oh and the elixir is soooo yummy, I love cinnamon in my coffee so it’s great.””
“I had to write to say what a spectacular, gastronomic experience you provided us with last night! The food, the presentation and the care you showed in your work created an evening that was beyond a doubt, one of the best evenings I have had. Your commitment to providing excellent service and world-class meals is something I have already shared with many friends.
Thanks to you, It was an evening that will stand out in my mind for years to come. As a result Christina, I am hooked - and I would very much love for you to cook for us again...soon! I really enjoyed your demeanor, your personality, your sense of humor and your passion for good food.

“Somehow you knew that if I did not eat something with spice and with heat soon I would go crazy! Thank you for the beautiful chilli, salsa verde and avocado. It was easy to prepare after a long journey, comforting and most of all so satisfying.
I am also grateful for my food today….Lentil soup for breakfast with a tasty turkey patty, fresh apple for work break, and squash soup for lunch.
Thank you very much for what you do.”
“Christina infuses joy, enthusiasm and love into everything she cooks. She is a ray of sunshine in your kitchen!”
Here is what my CSNN (Canadian School of Natural Nutrition) students are saying!
“Let me begin by simply saying thank you. Thank you so much for the incredibly inspiring class that I had the honour of attending this weekend. I want you to know that I came out of that class with so much more than I could have even expected. In fact, I feel like I owe you money! The truth is, I expected an average cooking class. I expected to learn how to make soup, and salad, and all the rest of it. What I did not expect was to come out inspired, re-energized, and passionate about the dwindling world of the home cooked meal; the very same home cooked meals that I as a future holistic nutritionist will be educating my clients on.
The fact is this: You would NEVER take swimming lessons from the person drowning in the shallow end with the water wings on, and our clients should never be asked to take nutrition advice from someone who has never had to participate in a whole foods cooking class.”
“Wow! I’m still “glowing” from yesterday’s class! Thank you so much for your time, knowledge, and enthusiasm. It really is clear that you both have found your passion and I’m just so excited that I get to learn from you. I can’t wait to make all the recipes we talked about, clean out my kitchen, start saving for a Vitamix, buy a real knife and new pans J. Ha. . . my husband said he needs to get a second job! Haha.”
“Just wanted to send an email to thank you for leading such an amazing and empowering cooking workshop. I honestly feel so bad for those who missed out on this amazing opportunity to learn from you two. I came away from this workshop SO f$&@ing inspired and confident that this is truly what I’m supposed to do with my life. You two confirmed why I’m so passionate about this and going to be in it for the long haul. To educate the world on what health really is and how people have the power over their own health IF THEY JUST PICK UP THE KNIFE.
I just want to scream this from the rooftops. The feeling of community and love in that kitchen was remarkable and I’m so thankful I was able to be apart of it and learn from you two. Thank you for teaching me knife skills. What a difference it has made in my life already. Our careers revolve around food and a large part of that is knowing how to prep it and cook it. I appreciate you both so much for sharing your tips and tricks around a whole foods kitchen. I could sit and listen to you guys forever! This workshop was priceless and I’m so thankful for you guys taking the time to educate us new bright eyed bushy tailed students. I can only imagine they feel the same way I do.
