Schools - instilling healthy habits early!


​I am absolutely passionate about helping as many people to lead healthier lives as possible and I believe educating children around eating well is essential to this.

​The earlier we start communicating with kids about wellness and nutrition the better.  Our workshops are hands on, informative and fun.   All workshops can be tailored to your particular needs and are targetted towards the ages of the children, from pre-school to primary and senior schools.

Workshops for schools

 Here are some of the workshops, I'm very happy to tailor to your requirements:
  • Nutrition and Wellness - nutrition basics - foods to eat more of , foods to eat less of, and importantly, WHY?  What's in it for me? 
  • What's the big deal about sugar?   Learn how sugar affects your body and mind, investigate how much sugar in different foods, food labels and looking for better options.
  • Nutrition for Teens/Tweens - we focus on how food and wellbeing effects us in these years - hormones, mood, skin, with a good dose of soul food and mindfulness included.
  • Soul Food - we look at mindfulness, meditation, food and finding things you love to do to feed your soul.

 Sugar Free Challenge & School Fundraising

Challenge the kids to go without sugar for a week, raise some money for your school and educate kids about sugar along the way!

​I developed the Sugar Free Challenge as a way to build awareness of healthy eating for children (and parents), and to raise money for important learning resources for our school.   
We not only succeeded in children and parents becoming more aware of what they were eating, but we raised over $11,000 from a school community of 400 students in 4 weeks.   
In a nutshell:
  •  Children give up sugar for a week, and get sponsored to do so.   (You might start  with just cutting out the ice-creams, lollies, soft drinks and cakes, or you might want to be more extensive - "the rules" can be adjusted to your needs)  The sponsorship process encourages children to participate and we create a  little fun competition between students and between classes.  The sponsorship concept means that fundraising is extended to the community and the financial burden does not  fall just to the parents.
  • In the lead up, and during the Sugar Free Challenge, an education program is rolled out to parents and children in the form of snippets of nutritional information, recipes and classroom activities via various channels.
  • My step-by-step program sets out the process, provides the nutritional information, the communication plan  and plenty tips to make it simple and fun to implement the Sugar Free Challenge in your school.  and most of all be successful in raising awareness about sugar and raising money for your school.
