Testimonials

J'aimerais vous témoigner mon appréciation et mon expérience avec Mme Beaton. Tout d'abord, je suis une femme récemment ménopausée et j'avais pris beaucoup de poids sans avoir fait aucun changement dans ma vie. J'ai fait appel à Mme Beaton pour m'aider à mieux comprendre cette prise de poids. j'étais vraiment inquiète qu'elle essaie de tout changer et de me mettre sur un régime trop strict mais ça n'a pas été le cas. Elle a commencé par me demander de voir mon médecin pour s'assurer que je n'avais pas de problème de santé majeur, je lui ai donc fourni un bilan de santé sanguin. Par la suite, elle m'a expliqué les conclusions de son analyse puis m'a fait un exemple de menu pour une semaine avec des recettes simples et rapides. Ce qui convenait parfaitement à mes besoins. Bien que j'étais un peu traumatisée par ce menu, elle m'a vite ramené à l'ordre en me disant de ne pas tout changer du premier coup mais de plutôt prendre cette exemple comme une façon de voir les choses, une liste d'aliments qui pourrait me faire du bien, moins caloriques et plus énergétiques. c'est ce que j'ai fait, j'ai décidé de changer un repas à la fois, j'ai donc modifié mes petits-déjeuners pour qu'ils soient plus équilibrés puis j'ai introduit d'autres recettes. Je suis très heureuse d'annoncer que j'ai perdu 10 lbs en 3 mois. Mme Beaton est consciencieuse et à l'écoute des besoins. Elle n'est pas seulement une nutritionniste mais une personne qui se soucie de chacun des cas de façon personnelle avec un professionnalisme hors-pair. Je la recommande fortement.

Caring for a person living with dementia can be a transformative experience; many find deep and lasting meaning, despite the challenges and demands. Kelly has taken her experience as a caregiver to her mother who lived with vascular dementia, and turned her observations and experience into something powerful and pragmatic.

Kelly facilitated an incredible online presentation for an employee Lunch and Learn program we organized at Canada Post. The focus was on Nutrition and the Aging Brain. She was knowledgeable, professional, and a wonderful speaker. She answered all the questions succinctly and respectfully. She really made a difference in the lives of those who attended by providing smart information and tips to stay healthy. The response to the event was overwhelmingly positive! We would be happy to invite her again for one of her other presentations. Well done, Kelly!
