Welcome to the first ever, in the world, Food Coach Academy! The courses are purposely designed for a wide audience – all levels of cooking expertise and nutrition knowledge from a basic understanding (what is a macronutrient and micronutrient) to a PhD level. All are welcome and you don’t have to have had any experience in cooking or coaching/counseling.
The Food Coach Academy combines 1) cooking classes, 2) nutrition and culinary medicine 3) plus motivational interviewing training to certify you as a Food Coach.

You’ll also gain an introduction to mindful eating, nutrition research fundamentals, and the critical role cooking plays in health and behavior change.
Alongside this, you’ll begin practicing motivational interviewing—the core communication style used throughout Food Coach Academy. Finally, we’ll step into the kitchen to cover setup, safety, basic cooking techniques, and how cooking impacts nutrient absorption. This course sets the stage for confident, informed, and practical coaching.
