TESTIMONIALS
Here’s what other’s had to say:
“I lost 30 lbs over the last few years and also battled breast cancer (early stage thankfully). I credit Dr. Michelle Beadle Holder’s initial workshops with helping me to see different ways to look at good tasting food. I am working on the second 30. I packed on a lot of weight when battling grief, but back to the good news. I am no longer pre-diabetic. People should know when their seeds helped others sprout in the best of ways.” -Te Bell
“When you're juggling a creative business, family demands, and studio time, healthy eating often takes a back seat. That's why our recent M2M workshop with Dr. Michelle Beadle Holder from Food at the Center hit all the right notes! Michelle shared game-changing strategies for busy makers to boost nutrition and reduce sodium without sacrificing flavor or precious time. The highlight? She didn't just tell – she showed! Members sampled delicious combinations and took home a practical "flavor wheel" tool for creating mouth-watering meals using smart seasoning alternatives. Thanks, Michelle, for showing us how nutrition can be both simple anddelicious!” ~Glenna C, Executive Director, Maker to Mogul
“I just finished a cooking class with Dr. Michelle Beadle Holder. The food was delicious, but I have to tell you, it’s more than just sit down, here’s how you do step one, two, and three. She teaches you about how food creates connection […]. We learned about culture through food, cultural history through food, and all of those things just deepens the conversation and connection that you have with other people. So if you’re looking to bringing a group of people together truly on a different level, she’s a fantastic person to reach out to do that.”~Donna Knutson, Write Journeys
“Before taking this class, I did not like cooking. PERIOD! I wasn’t really good at it. I didn’t know how to make the food I wanted to make taste good. I tried several different recipes, and it was hit or miss… This class has helped by introducing me to new herbs and new spices. Introducing me on how to go about tweaking food to get it to taste like something I want to eat.” ~Vetta
“The facilitator was an engaging and informed speaker! Sometimes food programs can be complicated, information overkill and ineffective, but Food at the Center offered digestible, accessible, and useful food based nutritional content." ~Dr. Shanna Tiayon, CEO, Wellbeing Works
