It's been almost 3 years since I started this ride with JMC and I must tell you, it feels like it was yesterday. I remember working away in my small Vancouver apartment for all of January, 2018, putting the finishing touches on my business before releasing it into the world. Would you like to know what I've done every January since? The same...darn...thing.
Heck, I'm not complaining. In fact, I love this time of year! It's a time to gather my thoughts about how the previous year panned out, set my intentions for moving through the new year, and capturing offerings that make sense for both me and you. With that in mind, there's a few things you can expect to see from me in 2021.
I am a Holistic Nutritionist by trade. I am also a self-taught Holistic Chef, Certified Organic Master Gardener, and Certified Level 2 Essentrics Instructor. That’s, well…a lot, and I’m not willing to let go of any of it. What I have decided to do, though, is to focus my time differently to offer you the things I know I should, and remove the things that don’t serve either of us anymore.
Starting February 2021, you’ll see JMC get a bit of an overhaul. I’ll be focusing on my core offerings - cooking, farming, and movement (Essentrics) - all underscored by foundational holistic nutrition principles. You’ll see expansion in my weekly virtual class schedule, recipe catalogue, and blog posts, but also the introduction of physical products and weekly free content. This newsletter will be hitting your inbox every week, too, so you won’t miss a beat.
For an idea of what to expect, here’s a shortlist of things I’ve brainstormed for 2021:
Cooking
prepare weekly meals for local delivery
develop digital recipe guides
create educational meal prep video content
Farming
offer vegetable seedlings grown at home
expand gardens to include up to 4 home-based plots
start a small CSA and include homegrown eggs (yes, we have chickens!)
Essentrics
introduce morning classes
teach barre classes
tape 2-minute instructional videos to post on YouTube
…and so much more that I can’t wait to test out and share with you!
There you have it. The long and short of it is that I’m in my groove and I’m feeling like I really understand what my core strengths and passions are, which in turn will fuel and support you in all the right ways.
This is my life. Everything I teach I also practice. I’m here to share what I’ve learned so you can find your way to health and longevity by enhancing your connection to your body, your mind (and intuition!), food, and the earth. Let’s have a little fun along the way, too, shall we?
Keep moving forward and I promise I will too. XO
