Comments & Testimonials

Diana’s raw food session was fantastic. I was amazed at how much information she gave orally, written and in her non-stop demonstrations. All nine of us in the fun group got to sample items and the session ended with an amazing meal of everything we were taught.

Loved to hear how easy sprouting is and loved that we got to try hands-on how to spread crackers. I learn much better by hands-on instruction. As always Diana was very informative and willing to share personal stories as to what has worked and what has not worked.

SOME COMMENTS FROM MY 6 WEEK COACHING PROGRAM

The Raw Food Group was a good experience. It helped me realize that I need to accept the fact that “You are what you eat” and if I want to be an active athlete and not feel “old” I better start taking care of myself with good food. What really resonated with me was when you had us think about how we wanted to be as we age. If I want to stay healthy as I age, then I have to start taking care of myself now.

I have a lot to learn and am enjoying my smoothies, lots of salad greens and trying new things. I am really enjoying the process.

I learned so much for the classes and coaching. I find this way of eating so easy. I don’t have to count calories or think about what I should or should not eat or what is on the list of “safe eating” foods. I lost weight without much effort, just be eating better. I am more conscious when I eat at a restaurant or eat while traveling. I notice the difference right way how my body feels when I eat differently. I prefer to feel good, therefore it is easy to stay on track. I don’t have to count calories or points or weight my food. I know what foods to eat and what I shouldn’t and that makes it so simple for me.

I have learned to prepare great tasting recipes that are satisfying and filling. The recipes Diana demonstrates are easy and fast. That way I can continue to eat in a healthy way.

Barb Don, Nanaimo, BC

The first raw food session I attended of Diana’s was a real eye-opener. I don’t remember what I thought a raw food diet was, but I was hoping to take away a few new healthy recipes that I could add to my fairly healthy diet at the time. That one afternoon started such a change in the way I thought about food. I immediately started to incorporate the fantastic (and simple) recipes Diana demonstrated, and was pleasantly surprised by the results. Without even trying, I started to lose weight and feel more energetic. My chronic digestive problems started to clear up and I was sleeping better. This prompted me to go to more sessions and even attend the 6 Week Coaching program with Diana, which was fantastic!

I learned to prepare new and exciting foods and met some really great like-minded people to share ideas with. Diana provided a wealth of information about nutrition, shopping, varying recipes and how to prepare foods for everyday life and how to adapt when travelling.

Thanks Diana – I look forward to continuing on this journey and continuing to learn from you!

Linda Brandmeier, Nanaimo, BC

By taking the program with Diana I felt that seeing her demonstrate the preparation of raw food really helped me change the way I prepare and eat. Which has helped me with my sugar cravings and my stomach pain.

I lost weight and am now at my ideal weight and it feels good. I fit into clothes that I haven’t been able to in a while.

I always thought I ate healthy, but wondered why I experienced a lot of discomfort and pain after eating. This had gone on for years. I was also eating too much sugar and always craved it.

After I attended Diana’s raw food classes and the 6 week coaching program, I no longer experienced the pain or discomfort I once did. (That is of course if I eat correctly). I now know how eating proper affects how I feel.

My sugar cravings have stopped and I know how to make healthy dessert-like treats that keep me satisfied.

I enjoyed the group coaching atmosphere and environment. I was encouraged to know others were going through similar challenges with food and health. The group shared ideas, recipes, knowledge and was very supportive.

I highly recommend Diana’s classes and coaching program, they have changed the way I eat and definitely the way I feel.

Marlene Don, Nanaimo, BC

I appreciated that you kept reiterating that we didn’t have to do anything we were not ready to do and to take small baby steps. It wasn’t rammed down our throats that it was your way or no way, and you were willing to listen to what we had to say. I liked the fact that you said you were not perfect when it came to eating so we didn’t feel any way inferior when we had a slip. Your acceptance of where each of us was made everyone feel included and safe.

I think we had a great group of women and I enjoyed being with them very much.

I love your classes and definitely see myself attending more of them. I would highly recommend your class to anyone who was looking for an alternative way of eating.
