1:1 integrated nutrition counselling & health coaching
This isn't another nutrition program. Every session is sequenced to your capacity — starting with the First Score, a structured look at where your body actually is — and built from the five pillars, pillar by pillar.
Put a dot where it feels most drained. Put a star where it feels steady.
One-on-one coaching is for…
The Emotional Eater
who feels like they're starting over on every healthy habit.
The Overwhelmed Go-Getter
who wants to understand exactly what their body is going through.
The Unconnected Griever
who feels like no one understands what they're going through.
What coaching can look like
The ColourFull Method
Instead of one line from "dysregulated" to "better", the Method reads four things at once — and the program is allocated from them. Nothing is prescribed that your capacity can't carry, and your own goal always earns a session.
Capacity
Energy
Load
Readiness
Five pillars × three phases
The three phases describe the body's capacity — never grief. Nobody finishes grieving; the body can still find a new kind of steady. Each pillar has its own modules for each phase, so the work in month one (eat something, sleep somewhat, see a doctor) is different from the work in month nine (the dinner party, the recipe box, the return to a full life).
57 discrete modules across the five pillars, each with a demand level, prerequisites, a session template and a takeaway you keep.
Session one, for everyone
Ninety minutes, ten short sections, and you leave holding a written profile: your scores across the five pillars, what the body is asking for first, and a proposed sequence of sessions. The engine does the allocating; you do the choosing.
S0 · SAFETY GATE
A few direct questions first. If something needs a doctor or a counsellor today, that comes before anything else.
S1 · CONTEXT
Who died, when, and what your days look like now.
S2 · LOAD
The life changes stacked on top of the loss — moving, money, caregiving, work.
S3 · CAPACITY
Sleep, fatigue, appetite, pain, illness: what the body is reporting.
S4 · ENERGY
How you're moving between the grieving and the rebuilding.
S5 · PILLAR SUBSCALES
Food, sleep, movement, emotions, life — scored so we can see the shape of it.
S6 · BARRIERS
What has actually stopped you before — time, money, nausea, nobody to eat with.
S7 · READINESS
What feels important and what feels possible right now.
S8 · THE BOND
Food and the person: the recipes, the rituals, the empty chair.
S9 · YOUR GOAL
In your words. It always earns a session, with its prerequisites pulled in automatically.
Every session, the same safe shape
1 · Foundation
A temperature check and permission — what's the capacity today, and what are we allowed to touch?
2 · Learning loop
The module for the day, worked through with curiosity (what did you notice? what surprised you? what would you adjust?). Feedback you can actually use.
3 · Forwarding the action
One small, specific next step — sized to the week you're about to have — and a branded takeaway in your inbox within a day.
SCOPE OF PRACTICE
Coaching is not medical or mental-health treatment, and nutrition does not treat grief. Red flags — prolonged grief, depression, PTSD, disordered eating, thoughts of self-harm, chest symptoms — are referred the same day to the right professional, with your consent and with Vera still beside you.
Packages
Everyone starts with the First Score. It's credited toward whichever package fits what the score shows. Prices in Canadian dollars; monthly payments available.
