What is the Vegan Programme?
This is for people who want more long-term support for transitioning to becoming a vegan or improving their vegan diet. The advice on the internet can be confusing and contradictory. This is a more personal way to improve your health through a plant based diet. The key is to take it slowly, do it right, try new things and keep learning. You will have access to me for one hour each month by zoom.
How does it work?
Once a month for 6 months we will meet on zoom. We will discuss your progress, answer any questions you have and talk about one of the below topics. The topics are only suggestions and the programme is client led. At the end of the conversation, we will set new goals for the month. Seeing me once a month will encourage accountability. Once a week, I will send you information relating to the topic of the week.
How much does it cost?
One hour zoom call per month for 6 months, plus email access to me during the month, costs £360.00 (works out to £60 per month). You can choose to see me in the clinic, face to face but there will be a surcharge for the clinic.
