Basil & Barbells Health Alliance
The Health Alliance is an online community for busy people who don't have the time to make the commitment to health counseling but still want access to the information in order to make healthy food and lifestyle changes on their own, at their own pace.

Health Programs
Whether your goal is to lose weight, relieve stress, have more energy or just eat better my one-on-one health counseling will help you reach your goals. Your program is customized specificially for you to help you turn your dreams and goals into reality.

Please understand that there are no "quick fixes" to health. Don't expect overnight results, but do expect rapid results when you follow the recommendations you will be given after each session as this is where the progress takes place. You will get better, faster and lasting results than you would have on your own.

Programs lengths are from 1 intensive session to 3 months. The length of your personalized program will depend on how motivated you are to meet your goals. At our initial consultation, we'll decide together how long the program should be to provide maximum support to meet your objectives.

Intensive Health Program
This program is one intense session. There will be alot of information, and recommendations will be given. During this session we will work to put a customized, step by step plan into action. A plan that will easily fit into your busy lifestyle. Being given so much information may seem overwhelming, but this call will be recorded. As you complete each step, you will be able to listen to the recording in order to implement the next.

Health Refresher Program
This program is for anyone who has completed any of the individual or group programs and feels they would like a refresher program to stay on course. This refresher program is available for up to 2 years after completing your initial program.

Personalized Menu Planning
My menu planning service is based on your personal needs. By filling out a food questionnaire I know your likes, dislikes and any food allergies and have a starting point for your weekly menus. You will be given all the recipes and the shopping list to get you through the week.

Recipe Service
Need recipes for a special occasion or just to feed the family for the week? How about vegetarian, vegan, gluten free or snack recipes? Or are you just bored with preparing the same meals all the time and need to change things up? My recipe service is here to help you with just that. Give me the parameters you need and I'll put together healthy, natural foods recipes for you.

Hands-On In-Home Cooking Lesson
Whether you're a beginner chef, intermediate or advanced my cooking lessons can help you expand your culinary horizons. Whether you would like to learn to prepare a specific dish, a certain food item, a technique or ethnicity, I will put together the perfect menu for you. This service includes menu planning, food shopping and leading you through the meal preparation, then you eat! This service is done in the comfort of your own home and is for 1 to 4 people, after that it's a party!

Hands-On In-Home Cooking Party
This service is the same as my cooking lessons, just for more people. You and your guests prepare the meal and then enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Pantry Make-Over
If it's in the house, it's in the belly (see market tour)! Together we will read labels and find the good, the bad, and the ugly lurking in our cupboards. Then you'll learn what to replace the bad and the ugly with.

Market Tour
I used to call this service a Health Food Market Tour, but not everyone shops in a health food market. We will tour the market you shop in most and I will help you find the nutritious foods available for you and your family. Remember, if it's in the cart, it's in the house and it's in the belly (see pantry make-over)!

In-Home Personal Training
Tired of driving to the gym and waiting for equipment? Let me come to you, no bulky gym equipment necessary! My in-home personal training service is designed specifically to meet your requirements. Whether you're a gym rat or someone just starting out, I can design your exercise program to be safe and effective.
