About Food Coaching
The Nourish Food Coaching programme gives people who are looking to make changes to their shopping, cooking and eating behaviours AND are facing challenges to doing that.
This is a personalised programme where our Coaches can get to know you and your lifestyle and help develop a food plan that is going to work for you whilst giving you the confidence, skills and motivation to make small changes that create a big impact to your health and happiness.
The FREE version of this programme is specifically for people who are facing financial hardship and have had their lives impacted by drug addiction or alcohol use.
