Thank you for dropping in to browse my newly revised blog. You will find the blogroll links to the left useful for information on natural health, mental health consumer rights, pharmaceutical concerns, and alternative therapy information. I have only included those that I feel are the most reputable and reliable for information. You may also find the videos of interest – I am excited that I am no longer the only person I hear voicing such concerns about the state of our mental health care system. For too long it was a very isolating dialogue.
You may also check out my recipes page where I have begun to list some of the recipes I enjoy and celebrate in sharing. Many of the recipes I have collected are gluten and dairy free, and all are low sugar, suitable for managing blood sugar spikes, weight loss, and mood. You will note that my recipes are simple as opposed to gourmet – targeted to parents and busy people, who, like myself, are as concerned with nutrition and time as they are taste. Watch for my upcoming cook book in spring of 2010.
On the About page you can read episodes of our story as I post them. It is an emotional place to go and since I do better in the universe of ideas than emotions you will have to be patient with me in posting them. Feedback of your stories always encourage me. If anyone is interested in contributing their story to a book on surviving the mental health system – or not – as is sadly often the case – please contact me. It does not matter if you can write or not. I can video you and do the writing if need be. It is important that our voices are collected and heard.
Services I offer include speaking engagements on our experiences and the power of holistic nutrition; recipe demonstration; articles; food photography and styling for print or web; vegetable and herb garden set up and maintenance, including composting and lasagna gardening; and personal nutrition coaching for those interested in weight loss, those learning to menu plan and cook wholesomely, and those learning to cook to accommodate diabetes and food allergies. I offer volunteer demonstrations and education throughout the Greater Toronto Area on wholesome and creative breakfasts and lunches for kids. Please see my contact page for further details. Catering services are listed on my catering page.
Please contact me if you have a special request or need.
