Our Executive Director, Deborah Garrard, offers nutritional coaching as well as insights related to healing in relationship to food and health.
As a Whole Food, Plant-based Nutritionist and Mind-Body-Spirit Eating Coach, Deborah can help you answers questions like:
​
-
How did we develop a particular lifestyle related to food and health?
-
Why do we think about health in the way we do?

What holds us back from shifting to a healthier lifestyle?

What are our ego-driven attachments and how can they be healed?
-
What outside influences impact our answers?

Coaching takes place in relationship and over time. Coaching is a blend of dialogue, respectful inquiry, listening, guiding, experimentation and well-chosen action steps. The coach and client work together to properly evaluate the client needs, to adjust goals when necessary, and to provide tools of empowerment for nourishment and growth.
consulting
Consulting is the perfect option for those seeking answers to particular questions or guidance with a specific concern. Consulting is often a short-term process in which client and professional explore an area of interest or concern for 2-3 sessions.
Both Coaching and Consulting are offered online, via Zoom, and in a setting of trust and confidence.
​
Ultimately both Coaching and Consulting are about the client and, as such, are dependent upon both the client’s commitment to work and an acceptance of responsibility for using the guidance provided to the best of the client’s abilities.
