1. Fuel Your Active Lifestyle

We feel better and move better when we choose food that nourishes our body. Designed for active audiences (or to inspire inactive individuals to become more active!), this presentation is designed to motivate participants to make nutritional choices that lead to optimal health, improved energy, increased productivity and enjoyable, successful physical activity.

I introduce audience members to the 3 primary strategies to help them boost energy levels and generally feel great as well as properly fuel their daily sweat session. Through humourous and insightful personal and client stories, I offer scientifically sound advice on how to build their own individualized nutrition strategy – one that is so nutritious, practical and delicious, it’ll stick long term and positively transforms every aspect of their lives. This presentation will leave participants eager to get into the kitchen to begin their transformation!

2. Beyond Limits

When we push beyond our limits, we are capable of achieving so much more than we can ever imagine. This presentation is designed to inspire individuals into action, whether it be to attain career goals, conquer athletic dreams, or simply finally start living life to the fullest by exchanging old patterns for excitingly productive new habits.

Through stories of my own life changing accomplishments – including finally realizing my dream of becoming a nutritionist to becoming the athlete I’d dreamed so long of to finally finding the ‘happiness’ in life I’d sought after for so long – I also summarize sage advise from others and their experience as well as what science tells us about pushing boundaries. Complete with the three steps required to successfully conquer our wildest dreams and strategies to overcome self-doubt and failure, this presentation will leave participants with the motivation and tools to push beyond self-imposed limits and achieve their own success stories.

Speaking Testimonials

“There was so much excited talk and exchanging of ideas and tips between our employees after the Breakfast and Learn that Sarah facilitated for us. I especially enjoyed how she was able to make her advice practical for everyone, offering up small steps and little things people could incorporate into their everyday eating habits! As well, her demos were a hit and everyone raved about the food she made and shared. I would happily recommend Sarah to anyone or any organization looking for any type of nutritional health and wellness workshop for their employees.”

– Steph Schiffmacher, HR Coordinator, Nature’s Path Foods (Richmond, BC)
“Sarah is a really engaging and enthusiastic speaker – she’s warm and balances engaging the group with keeping energy up and the content moving. There was a great turn out for both sessions Sarah held for us and I loved that she included demos and real how-to’s in her session to make the suggestions feel more achievable and realistic. Her recommendations were practical, complete easy ways to introduce more nutritious foods into daily life. I would definitely recommend Sarah – she’d be great to add to more corporate events as a fresh and engaging speaker!”

“A big thank you to Sarah for the information she provided us in her presentation at my workplace, FortisBC. I am quite happy to say I left her workshop with the information I was looking for to improve my current eating habits and with a renewed commitment to nutritional health. So far this week I have had a green smoothie every day and I am enjoying it. I’m grateful to her for sharing this simplified approach to healthy eating.”

-Tim Ackah-Sanzah, workshop participant, FortisBC (Burnaby, BC)
“Sarah’s workshop resulted in a lot of positive feedback from our members including how they happily discovered how easy it was to do meal prep, gained valuable awareness of overall nutrition requirements and landed on best post-workout recovery practices. Everyone especially enjoyed the taste taste testing! Plus the handouts, recipes and demos were great! And as a visual learner, I also found the liver/muscle glycogen demonstration to be quite helpful. I love Sarah’s take on nutrition – it seemed so basic and understandable when she broke it down, and I really appreciated her innovation as to how recommendations can easily be individualized to suit your body. Throughout the workshop I could literally feel her passion for helping us successfully utilize nutrition for performance and health, and I’ve recommended her services to many others – both athletes and non-athletes.
