Mary Ann loves to inspire people from every walk of life to eat right to decrease their risk of diseases, maintain a healthy weight, increase their well-being and energy and to take better nutritional care of their loved ones!

Her topics are customized each time to meet the needs and objectives of the sponsoring group or the individual who extends the invitation.

The presentation can be formatted into:

• Interactive small group workshops
• Larger audience programs

Mary Ann regularly receives outstanding evaluations from people who attend these programs, (see below) and from the program organizers, AND regularly gets "repeat invitations" to speak. WHY? Because she delivers presentations that:

• Are dynamic, highly entertaining and inspirational
• Are clear and understandable
• Get to the heart of the matter, delivering what the audience needs and wants
• Are chock full of creative audio-visuals and fun props; you'd have to see to believe Mary Ann's clever use of funny animal pictures to drive home the main points in one of her talks
• Provide take-home charts, checklists and summaries to make the central message can immediately usable
• Are customized each and every time to best meet the needs of her audience

Remember that Mary Ann has a unique Client Referral Credit Program: If a current client or presentation organizer refers a new client to Mary Ann who retains her services, the client will receive a credit on her/his next invoice for 5 billable consulting hours.that's a $400 to $500 value! It's Mary Ann's way of saying "thanks"!
