PeriMeno Staples - A Cooking Class for Perimenopausal Women

Real Food for Real Hormones

A No-Nonsense Cooking Class for Women in Perimenopause

Because your hormones are changing—and your dinner probably should, too.

Let’s Be Real...

Perimenopause can feel like you’re dodging grenades on the regular.
Like you don’t recognize the fire breathing dragon that is wearing your too-tight feeling clothes.
And it can certainly feel like the perimenopause/menopause info/recommendation station is smashing you in the face from all sides, and you don’t know what the heck to believe (which simultaneously makes you feel like absolute crap because you’re not doing any of it).
Sound familiar?


You swear you were a hot badass woman a second ago, and now? Well….

Welcome to the hormonal rollercoaster!! Yahoo!

We can’t keep doing the same things we were doing before, because, well, everything is different now. So as your hormones change, so must you.

Listen up my Lovely Badass Beauties (yes, you are absolutely still in there hiding behind the itchy yoni, zero memory, & night sweats): you are not broken, you are not lost, and you are not any less hot than you used to be.
Your body is shifting.
It’s normal.
It kinda sucks.
And it’s asking for a little support.

The good news? Support can start in your kitchen, with easy, staple recipes, and does not need to be complicated, unrealistic, or involve restriction.

Introducing: Perimeno Staples

A real food focused cooking class designed for women who want to get clear on what they can eat everyday in order to feel better, increase their focus, reduce ridiculous symptoms, and still eat food that makes sense & tastes really, really good.

No diets. No restrictions. No chemical additives or weird ingredients.

Just real food, real strategies, and recipes you’ll be making again and again.


Hi, I’m cindy!

If you’re new here, I thought I’d tell you a little about myself & the work that I do.
I’m a Holistic Nutritionist based out of a little town nestled in the magical mountains in the Kootenay Region of B.C. I’ve been working with clients and running online programs for over 13 years. I’m extremely passionate about helping women transform their health & their food relationship through teaching about real food, mindful eating, the science of nutrition, and body systems balancing. I’m a cook, a mother, a runner, a dancer, a singer, a nature lover, and am honoured & so grateful to be sharing my passion for food & life with others ♡

Cindy’s recipes are delicious and I’m always confident I’ll have tasty meals. Not only are her classes well thought out and organized, but she always weaves health information throughout them. Love her cooking classes!
— Danielle Campbelle

What You’ll Learn (and eat):

Simple, Hormone-Balancing Recipes
Think: fiber-rich, anti-inflammatory, blood-sugar-friendly—but super satisfying and crave-worthy.

What Your Body Actually Needs Right Now
We’ll discuss increased and changing nutritional demands of the perimenopausal body: increased protein, healthy fats, and key nutrients—based on nutritional science.

Foods that are Specifically Beneficial to the Perimenopausal Woman
No macros. No math. I’m here to help provide you with a clear understanding of which foods are miracle workers for balancing hormones naturally and which ones are likely making your symptoms worse.

Pantry Staples & Smart Swaps
Learn how to stock your kitchen in a way that makes sense, so that you can eat for energy, balance, and overall thriving health, without it feeling like chore.

Who This Class is For:

  • You’re in your late 30s, 40s, or 50s and are challenged with new symptoms that weren’t there before (hi, bloating, itchy ears, and mood swings)

  • You want to eat in a way that supports your hormones without cutting out the joy and flavour

  • You don’t want to feel restricted

  • You love food that tastes good and feels good

  • You don’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen, but really want to eat well

  • You want clarity you can trust on what foods to eat and when

What You Get:

  • A 90-minute live or on-demand cooking class

  • A downloadable recipe handout

  • A class recording to watch at your leisure, if you miss the live version

  • In class tips on beneficial foods, detrimental foods, and meal timing

Grab Your Spot for Just $37

No fluff. No fads. Just food that feels good.

I am passionate about consuming foods that work well for your body.
About educating in a way that makes sense and isn’t limiting.
You don’t need to feel shame, guilt, or feel alone.
Learning which foods to eat and when, is a powerful and uncomplicated way to look after your health day after day and feel good in your body again ♡

You don’t need a complete overhaul.
You don’t need to spend many hours a day in the kitchen.
You just need a handful of meals that work for you, a few science-backed tweaks, and someone to show you how to pull it all together.

I got you. Let’s do this!

PSSST! ONE LAST THING:
