Schools, Kids and Sports

Andrea’s biggest passion lies in the opportunity to speak to students, sports teams, teachers and Parent Council groups about their total health, including their mental, physical and emotional well-being.  As a Culinary Expert, Registered Dietitian, Kids Yoga Teacher, and Fitness Instructor, Andrea has supported schools within her community for over 10 years.  Andrea is familiar with the pressures from society, pop culture, social media, or the comparison game, and how they can sometimes make people feel – sometimes challenging to deal with – and supports individuals to see a different perspective, their own value and worth, and most importantly how to create a healthy balance of energy from the food they eat, their physical abilities, and their mental space and boundaries.

Andrea creates a safe space for all audiences to ask questions and inquire about our current health world ensuring they do not feel judged while in her space.

Andrea’s approach differs based on the various levels of ages, skills and interests of all of the groups she interacts with to align with the learning objectives set by the individual coaches, teachers, principals or parent council groups.

Andrea’s School, Sports Teams and Parent Council Seminars have included topics such as:

  • Kids Yoga and Mindfulness Class (30 minutes): JK, SK, Grade 1-4
  • School Staffing Presentations: Teaching Nutrition within the Classroom, Monitoring Lunch Boxes, Supporting Disordered Eating
  • School Staff Yoga Classes
  • Parent Council Presentations (ie. Preparing School Lunches, Meal Planning for Busy Families, Cooking Classes, Feeding Your Picky Eater, Food for Mind and Body
  • Cooking Class Field Trip
  • Food as Fuel
  • Where does Food Come From
  • Sports Nutrition (gymnastics, hockey, soccer, volleyball, rock climbing, dance)
  • High Performance Sports Nutrition

No matter what you’re looking for, Andrea is available to discuss how a seminar would align with your objectives with her holistic health approach.
