Over my 29-year career I have worked in communications (writing for newspapers, magazines and blogs and authoring books), literacy, marketing, and in 2014 I went back to school to train as a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and Certified Plant-Based Chef. I have had many wonderful opportunities in my work life so far, all of them leading me through the journey of helping to make plant-based lifestyles and veganism more mainstream. Through Plant-Based R.H.N. I have offered a variety of services, including community-based cooking & nutrition classes, an online cooking/nutrition support network (through the pandemic), nutrition consulting for people who are looking to make healthy lifestyle changes, as well as those dealing with chronic disease diagnosis and wanting to benefit from the changes a whole foods plant-based lifestyle can bring. I have worked with organizations to offer workshops, organized retreats and community events such as movie screenings, vegfests and large community potlucks. I love using my communications skills to share information and inspiration too, and have worked with organizations like Vancouver Humane Society to do that. Last year I started a youtube channel where I provide regular videos on nutrition and cooking too!
