We may be a match for one-on-one nutritional wayfinding if you are hungry to feel better inside of your skin, ready to evolve old habits that support neither your wellness nor your sense of self-worth, and willing to explore with me in a terrain that looks something like this:
playing the long game. Embracing slow evolution into health-giving habits that last;
relating to your body as your ally. Investing belief in the body’s remarkable innate healing capacity for self-repair;
finding ease, joy and deep pleasure in your relationship with food;
leaving diets and diet cults and culture behind you, for good;
reclaiming your ancient intuitive sense of knowing about how and how much to rest, move and nourish your body, so that you no longer need those expensive (distracting) gadgets;
increasing your trust in food as medicine; decreasing your reliance on the promise of wellness in a bottle;
becoming your own nutrition expert in a world of confusing nutrition-ism;
learning to move forward from a place of self-love rather than by internal guilting or shaming;
engaging the body-mind-spirit connection in the context of nutritional counselling. How might pulling threads in one aspect of our being affect the entire intricate weave?
I invite you to contact me for a complimentary 20 minute Discovery Call. I commit to a small number of clients who express readiness to commit to themselves too.
You can expect coaching sessions to last 60-90 minutes, often tête-à-tête. Just as often we may be shoulder-to-shoulder, getting back to basics and turning words to action in our kitchens or food gardens, in the grocery store, or, when we need help locating ourselves and our purpose and place in the bigger picture, on our yoga mats or under the trees. I may also encourage and assist you in creating and enacting personal rituals when you may need clarity, wish to express commitment, build joyous momentum, or celebrate forward movement along your wellness path. Sliding my whole self into the morning ocean has long been one such daily-ish ritual that does all of those things for me. What’s your way?
My rate for one-on-one nutritional wayfinding $125 per session, with the promise of every 7th session free of charge to honour and encourage your ongoing commitment.
i hope you walk away tall in the truth
that you are not alone.
you matter.
your story matters.
your feelings, they matter.
hold that close x

kind words about tracey
Tracey’s program came at the perfect time of year for me to reset and become more mindful about what I put in my body. Tracey's knowledge, gentle enthusiasm and recipes were much appreciated. The course was well paced and I never felt overwhelmed, just supported. It was less about guilt and more about curiosity. I learned so much, not just about myself, but about different foods and their health benefits. The yoga classes brought the detox process, mindfulness and body awareness together for a holistic experience.

Thank you for the terrific 6 weeks of nutritional guidance and yoga practice. I went places I would not have gone on my own. Your letters were thoughtful, full of useful info and FUN. You are always encouraging and inspiring. I really enjoyed the journey. I will absolutely recommend your program and do it again.

The writings and reflections in this blog are green and growing off-shoots of my 2025 calendar collaboration with Sol Kinnis of City’s Edge Farm. The calendar was a colourful way to encourage and simplify the farm-to-fork movement by spotlighting (with recipes and wisdom from the field) the ripe and ready produce in local gardens, markets, and farm-stands month-to-month.
On the calendar project, I was ironically tasked with the recipe part. Ironic because I have never been one to actually follow recipes. At all. Nor do I encourage you to follow anybody else’s rules to the teaspoon, but rather to hold most recipes lightly, letting them serve as inspiration for your growing relationship with these farm-fresh foods and your kitchen intuition.
Ironic, yes, but fun. And I have heard a call for more. But (ack!) we missed out on a follow-up calendar. Hence this blog, where I will offer monthly recipes to inspire and support your commitment to eating locally with the rhythm of the seasons.
Expect recipes that involve minimal fuss and no big frills, don’t require special equipment, are largely plant-based, ultra-nourishing, satisfying and taste amazing in under 10 ingredients. Under 10 ingredients! The fresh ones you can grow in your own patch of dirt if you have one, or find at a local farm stand or market. Remaining ingredients are staples you are likely to have already on hand.
These are recipes that make it easier for all of us to become a stronger link between farm and fork. As we rise to this lifestyle choice, our consistent choices contribute to the development of local food culture and the food security of our region, support our local economy and the vital work of our farmers, and soften bite-by-bite the hard impact of bigger picture food waste and industrial agriculture. Not to mention we get healthy—turns out what’s good for the Earth is good for all of us, is good for each of us. To be sure, navigating the world of nutritionism is not easy. Barbara Kingsolver boils it down to all we really need to know in a single sentence:
Eating home-cooked meals from whole, in-season ingredients obtained from the most local source available is eating well, in every sense.
Even more pithy is Michael Pollan:
Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.
Eating real food. Eating really, really well. May the recipes in this blog help make it simply so. Please contact me if you are curious about the additional support of one-on-one nutritional coaching.
Let’s get you fed.
