SERVICES: PRIVATE CONSULTATION (1 Hour $100, includes a pre-submitted detailed questionnaire) Every individual is unique! This consultation is designed to address your specific challenges and needs, to clarify your own personal goals (sometimes more complex than simple). This is an 'in- depth' evaluation to help us determine the best way for you to succeed - head you in the right direction. You may have certain restrictions or suffer physical limitations where individual classes will not suit you. My mentor program may be your answer, or my food preparation may be the supplement you're looking for. Most people find this 'in-depth' assessment rewarding - it provides them a process in which to clarify their goals, road-blocks, complications, and be inspired to take the next step. Personally selected recipes based on analysis results are provided to get you started. Consultation can be done by appointment or by phone; on-line consultation forthcoming. See yourself reach your goals weeks, months, maybe even years ahead of where you would be if you struggled to get there on your own. INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING (15 Minute Counsel $20) Counseling is suggested if you've reached a stumbling block, are stymied for an answer to a particular problem you've encountered, or struggling to go or stay raw. With years of experience and education, I can advise alternatives or options you may have not considered. Counsels exceeding 15 minutes will become a Private Consultation and charged accordingly. BUSINESS, GROUP, OR ORGANIZATION SPEAKER Looking for an interesting, inspiring program to speak to your business, group, service club, organization, church, school, or class? I speak to organizations of all sizes in all industries on how we can easily change our health and improve our lives through integrating more whole foods into our current diets. My clients include Whole Foods, Daimler Chrysler, Rotary Club, and several Wellness Centers to name a few. Demonstrating how easy it is to prepare a healthy raw food recipe while speaking about my own personal story and raw food experience has inspired hundreds of people to upgrade their diet/health programs. Actually tasting how delicious eating fruits/vegetables can be when prepared this unique way has motivated people to take the next step to jump start their health. Here is what some of my clients have said: "As the marketing specialist for Whole Foods Market, I have worked closely with Beth conducting raw food demos and classes for customers.
