The best chocolate ever is just the beginning...

by divinecreatrix

I love Simply Nourishing. Trish, the warm and knowledgable owner of the boutique, has read all of the fine print and done the taste-testing for us to create a wonderful array of healthy foods that include frozen entrees, gourmet desserts, staple menu items, drinks, and snacks. She carries the best chocolate I've ever eaten, as well as incredible granola--and both of these items are locally produced.

Aside from all of that, Trish offers a program of sustainable weight management coaching. In the six months since I've known Trish, I have lost nearly 50 pounds. No diets or scales here. With Trish's support, I have gained knowledge, come to trust my own intuition around eating, achieved greater health and energy, and recovered my passion for cooking. She helped me see myself as my own expert, and that has changed my life.

• Pros: Meet with Trish by appointment...
• Cons: Check for boutique hours.

Relief from Nutritional Propoganda

by hobbs07

It is such a relief to have someone to explain what is nutritional and healthy instead of being overwhelmed, and confused by all the healthy claims at the local supermarket.

After a recent visit to my doctor I found out I had high cholesterol. I'm not overweight but need some help understanding what to eat and why. That's when I found Simply Nourishing. I decided to go in and see if anyone could tell me about many of these products that I recognized from the bigger supermarkets. The owner, Trish, was so helpful. She took the time to listen to my needs and situation and recommend products that she though would help. I've been enjoying adding in her recommendations and I feel really good. It was a relief to know that I could add things in to lower my cholesterol and why they are healthy and which ones are actually fun and tasty to eat.

Powerful resource for health and weight loss!

by VibrantWoman

I stumbled upon this incredible store a few months ago, while shopping nearby and needing some healthy snacks to tide me over. What a huge blessing to find Simply Nourishing! I met the owner, Trish, who warmly welcomed me to the store, offered yummy samples of raw chocolate and coconut bars (part of her desserts for weight loss display) and invited me take a look around.

I am gluten intolerant, so it was a treat to find an entire wall of gluten-free foods that I can really eat. I saw lots of my favorite, quality foods in the store, along with many new items I had never seen before. There were lavender/lemongrass and cardamom ?healthy sodas', pomegranate-chipotle salad dressing, coconut chai spice tea, gluten-free Japanese rice crackers, and my personal favorite?vanilla rose raw chocolate.

I was intrigued by the signs on the nutritional benefits of chocolate, coconut, nuts and other ?treats? around the store. I was surprised to read that Trish offers weight management and nutrition coaching, but her store was filled with familiar, healthy products and she wasn?t selling some specialty weight loss program. So, I asked her about her philosophy. Wow?this is when my life changed! She talked about the idea of eating more power foods and shared lots of her nutrition expertise in response to my many questions.

Trish was so willing to help and her suggestions were exciting?eat more chocolate, and other foods I love (healthy versions) AND lose weight? She?s clearly passionate about supporting people with this powerful approach. I also liked her whole life approach: stress management is just as crucial as the foods we?re eating. I was inspired, so I bought several items and put these simple changes into practice. Since then, I have lost weight and made major shifts towards healthy eating habits. This is definitely a place to check out and to tell your friends about!!
