A human's connectedness with food runs very deep. Food brings us pleasure, heals us and connects our families. We eat for so many reasons! Sometimes, though, our choice to lead a busy life causes us to lose our ability to remember WHY we need to nourish ourselves, on every level. Food becomes convenient, and simply something to "fill the gap". We lose our balance, and our way to health. We forget how important it is to take the time to give ourselves the fuel we need to not only just keep on living, but to live fully, with out and out JOY. Eating well does not have to mean giving up what is pleasurable to us. Significant, lasting changes can occur for us and our health in a short amount of time- just by changing what we understand about food.
There is so much to learn about the power of what we put in our bodies. Let us show you what real health, real vitality, real food is like, and why everyone should Love2Eat!

You will learn about health promotion, disease prevention and healing, and walk away with a plan, designed just for you, that will outline which nutrients you may be deficient in and what body systems (such as Digestive, Cardiovascular etc) need support and balancing.You will be given education on:
- the specific sources of nutrients that will help you achieve Optimal Wellness
- why it is important to foster respect for your body
- what the term “Whole Foods” means and why whole foods are the best choice for our bodies and the Earth
- specific concerns you may have such as learning about the function of foods, cancer prevention, weight loss, lowering blood pressure, stress, anxiety, emotional eating issues etc.

Barb is a Holistic Nutritionist, speaker, and yoga instructor in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. She teaches Nutrition
at the University of Calgary, and is a frequent guest lecturer for the corporate sector. She celebrates the
practices of nourishment, natural health, sustainability and love for the planet with her husband and two young
daughters.
A Note From Barb:
Food is my passion. I love the way it tastes, how it looks, how it feels, how it smells and mostly how it
nourishes. I have been in the natural health industry for a long time, and have explored many options for how I
could help people facilitate their own healing. For me, healing and optimal health comes down to one simple
phrase: what we put in is what we get out. This is true not only for our bodies, but for life in its
totality.
My goal when working with clients is to help them understand that all choices in life, but especially our food
choices and how we treat our bodies, must come from a place of joy, every time, without fail. If we can learn
the divine respect that our bodies so deserve, then choices from a place of nourishment, reverence and joy are
bound to occur. When we make choices this way, our bodies reward us with untold energy, clarity of thought and
longevity.
With these tools in hand, we can go forward on Earth and make real, lasting changes to not only our own lives,
but the planet as a whole. We all know a change must happen if we are going to continue living here. This change
starts with us, every time.
Our bodies deserve deep nourishment, as do our souls. Now is the time to feed them both!

A Note From Shelley:
My philosophy towards holistic nutrition is based on the understanding that our bodies have the inborn knowledge and ability to maintain their own health. We can honour our body’s natural wisdom by providing it with raw materials it needs to nourish itself with whole, unrefined foods. My knowledge and expertise enable me to identify nutritional imbalances and help guide you in your path to wellness through the different stages in your life.
I am dedicated to teaching you how to combine the nutritional, physical, emotional and spiritual components of your life to promote healing and well-being on all levels. I will inspire and motivate you to cultivate your own health. I am grateful to be able to share this wisdom and practice my passion for nutrition on a daily basis.
