Seminars

Some of the seminars I can deliver are:

  • Overfed series
  • GAPS series
  • EFT
  • Presenting to groups or practitioners

You may have been to seminars where the speaker tantalises you with information, but you don’t get a lot of detail. These seminars are different. They are crammed full of information, so come prepared to learn. I’ve tried to make them shorter, but there is so much I want to share with you that I can’t take anything out!

All seminars include samples of some of the foods discussed, or a light snack, and a course handout. But bring pen and paper in case you want to take extra notes.

Overfed & Undernourished series

Food has never been more plentiful, but much of it is either devoid of nutrients or downright damaging to our bodies. We eat the wrong foods, either becase we have been misinformed about what we need, or for some, because economics dictate we look for the cheapest food.

This series of seminars will be of interest if you:

  • Are fairly healthy but want to feel even better
  • Have been attending the GAPS series (see below) and want to know more about why the recommended foods are helpful
  • Want to learn more about what foods our bodies really need (seminar 1)
  • Want to learn how to support your special needs (seminar 2)
  • Want to learn what else you can else to support good health (seminar 3)

It is usually presented over a series of three evenings and builds as it goes. So a person can attend just seminar one, or one and two and get benefit. But maximum benefit will come from attending them in order. Each evening includes about 2 – 2.5 hours of course material, with a break halfway through.
