Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me with my father suffering from Alzheimer's. Your heartfelt kindness says much about you. Having a charming French woman on his arm got him down those dangerous steps in no time! A true pleasure meeting you. Namaste.

Marie-Annick est venue a la maison pour coacher au niveau alimentation mon adolescent de 14 ans qui fait du basket a un haut niveau. Elle lui a fait des cours theoriques sur l'equilibre alimentaire, puis lui a cree des menus personnalises et ils sont passe petit a petit a la pratique en cuisine. Cela a ete un vrai declencheur pour mon fils qui a peu a peu change ses habitudes et nous disait encore hier "je me sens vraiment mieux et plus fort depuis que je mange equilibre", presque tout etonne. Je recommande vivement le coaching alimentaire de Marie-Annick, elle a ete a l'ecoute de mon ado, et les resultats sont plus que positifs. Merci!
