What people are saying…
"My eating has completely changed. I came home and got rid of everything in my fridge and cupboards. I've now got back down to my pre-chemo weight and feel amazing. Most telling of how eating cleanly has helped me is that my blood tests numbers have improved! The days I've spent learning from Nicolette was a life-changing experience."
STEPHANIE
"Nicolette educates not only me but a whole group of people who were interested to learn more about Eat Real To Heal. We all had an incredibly informative class. No one wanted to leave and people departed feeling they had learned so much as well as making a new friend. Nicolette is a serious alternative health practitioner who is constantly learning more about our good health. ”
ANNE
“The best class ever. Food is healthy, thank you for teaching me how to "live health" every second of my life!”
SONIAEATING WELL, FOR LESSHealthy doesn't have to mean expensive
One of the biggest myths we bust in this class: that food as medicine costs more. It doesn't, once you know what you're doing.
We'll show you how to shop smarter, reduce waste, and build meals around simple, affordable staples that do more for your health than anything in a box.
