The French believe that taking the time to eat and enjoy the food we love is actually a recipe for health. They consider health as a whole picture where all elements count - physical, emotional, nutritional, aesthetic.

In this unique one-on-one or small group sessions program, I will provide nutritional knowledge and offer you my personal and professional experience relative to these principles of French health. The goal of Harmonie is to put this knowledge into practice and integrate it harmoniously into your daily life. I will coach you through gradual eating and lifestyle changes and show you how to improve your cooking skills.

More than a successful weight loss program, Harmonie reestablishes a nutritional equilibrium which is linked to strong immune system defenses and general preventive health.

There are two Programs


A Two hour session:

During this - on site- tour of your kitchen we will evaluate what's working, what's not and why. We will determine what is best for your day-to-day needs, examine and simplify your equipment, clean up your pantry and replenish it with a variety of healthy food. I will give you tips on how to make shopping easy and fun. You will also see how to plan healthy and delicious menus in no time. We will talk about cooking with fresh herbs and I will give you new ideas about menus and inspire you to cook.

 


A Four week program - two hours per week:

Over the course of this four week program we will analyze your unique relationship with time, define your goals about nutrition and healthy eating, set priorities and design a more effective structure to deal with your everyday meals. You will learn how to organize and have fun in your kitchen (see description in the two hour session, above), practice planning for fast, healthy and delicious menus. Then I will show you how to store and avoid wasting food forever. Finally we will have fun cooking together. During the program we will design for you a reasonable exercise program that you could easily fit in your daily life.

Over the course of this four week program I will encourage you and support you by prescribing weekly assignments, keeping our goal manageable, answering specific questions and helping you to get past obstacles you encounter along the way.
