My Mission Statement

Offer women a real and practical alternative to dieting, teaching them what to eat, how to develop positive relationships with food, and how to live a balanced health-style that is sustainable.

In a supportive high-touch program, I offer both practical wellness education (not limited to nutrition) as well as individualized accountability coaching. This includes daily check-ins and feedback, surveys and lessons, as well as a multitude of other tools and resources.

My program is for women who are tired of dieting and want to find a gentle yet effective way to eat for the rest of their lives. Accountability, often missing for a lot of women in creating and maintaining habits, is delivered in a positive, fun, yet high expectation environment.

MEET STACY

Hey there! I’m Stacy! Thank you for stopping by.

People often refer to me as a nutrition nerd. Yep, I'm the one who brings veggies and hummus to potlucks (just to make sure there’s at least one healthy option available – and, you’re welcome).

I am actually a foodie at heart, but I also truly love living a healthy lifestyle.

My motto is: Be healthy, but enjoy life – just choose wisely!

My passion for health and my genuine love of food led me to the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition. There, I completed a Diploma in Holistic Nutrition and graduated with honors.

In my current practice, I help women take control of their own health through the use of real, whole foods, and assist them in creating (and sustaining) lifelong health habits so they can FINALLY get off that horrible diet-rollercoaster!

When I’m not coaching, eating or trying out a new recipe, you might catch me hanging out with my amazing 12-yr old daughter & husband, working out (I love barre and spin), or perhaps watching my favorite reality TV program, 90 Day Fiance!

I practice in my hometown of Calgary, AB but because most of my work is done online – I am available for consultations or coaching wherever it is that you happen to call home.

LET'S WORK TOGETHER! Send me a message to hello@stacyyates.com and let's talk about how I can help you create your healthy lifestyle! There's no time like the present!

MY STORY

You won’t find a drastic and dramatic weight loss story here, but what you will find is the journey of a girl who simply wanted to learn how to love and accept her body, enjoy and respect food (instead of using it emotionally) and learn to eat as healthy as she could both enjoy and sustain.

My journey includes numerous failed diets (going all the way back to Susan Powter), body shaming, emotional eating, punishing exercise, restricting, binging, and years of unnecessary unhappiness, all in order to lose anywhere from 10-20lbs. I share the very real and raw feelings of wanting to change my body so badly, and being desperate to know what I could do in order to do it quickly.

Fast forward many years – perhaps truthfully, right up to the end of my thirties. Then and only then, did it finally start sinking in that I did not need another diet or weight loss plan. I just needed to accept some truths, come up with a plan, and then do the work:

I teach you these truths, while incorporating nutrition expertise and the science on habit formation in my 12 week program.

My program isn’t about weight loss per se, but it’s certainly a direct result.

My program is about upgrading your diet so that you can live happy and healthy, well into your later years.

My program is about learning how not to struggle with food on a daily basis.

My program is about incorporating the foods you love into your “diet” and not using food as a reward or punishment.

My program is about finally being peaceful and relaxed around food.

My program is about learning to become a person who instills the habits you want to embody, one step at a time.

It’s a great place to be. What are you waiting for?

Favorite Thoughts

Learn to make adjustments; not judgements.

What are you willing to do, to become the person you want to be?

Your habits shape your identity, and your identity shapes your habits (James Clear)

Take IMPERFECT action every single damn day.

Long term consistency ALWAYS beats inconsistent perfection.

Stop searching for perfect. It doesn't exist!
