Seeing Christine in action is so helpful, especially if you are not familiar with an ingredient or technique. She is so good at explaining! She peppers her class with so many hints and tips.

Let me guess….
You’re tired of cooking feeling like a chore, especially now that it’s just you or you and your partner at home
You want to eat better for your health and hormones, but you’re not into strict diets or food rules
You’ve lost your kitchen mojo and need a little spark (and support) to get it back
You’re not in the frame of mind for a flop—you need recipes that work
If you’re nodding along, friend, you’re in the right place!
Now imagine…
✔️ Feeling inspired again, with real spunk to cook
✔️ Light-but-filling dinners that come together easily
✔️ Confidence and joy in the kitchen—your instincts feel spot on and the recipes just work
✔️ Better base options: more fiber, easy protein mix-ins, zero overwhelm
✔️ Smarter shopping—rethinking recipes and lists means better prep and less waste
✔️ Handy pro tips that change everything (yes, even how you rinse quinoa) in a fun, interactive space with women who get it
Best of all? You actually look forward to cooking again.
This is your time. And it starts with your table.

”WOW, WOW, and Wowzers!!! These recipes really knocked me out of the ball park. I am sitting here with my jaw open still… these flavors are so unreal. I may be in a food coma lol! These classes are so much fun. I made the Chimicurri sauce and Nutritionally Yeast Vinaigrette to go with it and the French potato salad was killer!!”

Meet Christine, your culinary co-Pilot
Hi! I’m Christine - culinary instructor, empty nester, and your biggest cheerleader in the kitchen!
After a heart attack in 2020, I began shifting the way I cook and eat.
These days, I focus on flavorful, heart-healthy meals that support my body (and spirit) - without giving up the joy.
I’m a chef and Certified Culinary Medicine Professional. For my capstone project, I studied the Mediterranean Diet and menopause.
Helping women feel confident, cared for, and excited about food again? That’s my passion.
Cooking is my love language, and I can’t wait to share the joy (and the recipes) with you.
Let’s do this - woo hoo!!
Your questions… answered!
Is this course just for people in menopause?
Nope! It’s ideal for anyone in (peri)menopause, or menopause, but it’s open to all women, regardless of age who want to feel better and eat well.
What if I’m cooking for one?
Perfect. Every recipe is designed for two, so you can enjoy leftovers or freeze portions - no awkward math required.
Will I get access to the replays?
Heck yeah! All classes will be recorded and available inside Heartbeat to watch (or rewatch) anytime.
How long do I have access to the content?
You’ll have full access to the Heartbeat community and course materials for the duration of the program.
Do I have to cook live with Christine?
Not at all! You can watch and take notes, or cook along if you’re feeling it. Totally up to you.
Their words, not mine
“I’ve taken Christine’s classes in person and online over the years and have always loved how uncomplicated and delicious her recipes are.”
Brenda C.
