Join the free Monthly Nourish Challenge and try one new healthy recipe each week. A gentle, flexible way to discover delicious meals that fit your unique diet and support your wellbeing.
Welcome to the Monthly Nourish Challenge.
Most of us collect healthy recipes with the best intentions.
We save them, pin them, bookmark them…
And then?
Real life takes over.
Our energy dips.
Our schedule fills.
And those recipes stay saved — not used.
Nourish was created to change that, with one simple, supported step each week.
No overwhelm.
No pressure.
No perfection needed.
Just tiny shifts that help you bring food inspiration into real life.
Why Nourish works for any diet
When I first qualified as a Natural Healer many years ago, one of my goals was to create a perfect “healthy food plan” for clients.
I researched constantly, followed experts from opposite ends of the nutrition world, and compared their approaches.
From vegan to keto to paleo… each expert had success stories to prove their point.
How could every approach be “right”?
The answer was simple:
Your Diet is as Unique as You
Over 20+ years in clinic, I saw the same foods nourish one person and overwhelm another.
What mattered wasn’t the diet label — it was how well a recipe matched someone’s individual body, preferences, rhythms, and needs.
Nourish honours that truth.
The challenge gives you inspiration and themes…
you choose what fits you.
The Aim of the Nourish Challenge
Each month we explore a new recipe theme:
soups, brunch bowls, vegetables, chocolate, nourish bowls, and more.
You choose one recipe each week that matches:
✔ your dietary needs
✔ your energy levels
✔ your preferences
✔ your real life
The focus isn’t on doing everything “right.”
It’s on turning inspiration into tiny, meaningful nourishment — one simple, repeatable step at a time.
Over time, you naturally build your own personalised recipe collection, filled with meals you’ve actually used, enjoyed, and adapted… not just saved for later.
How the Monthly Nourish Challenge works
The Nourish Challenge is a gentle way to explore new foods without overwhelm.
Here’s how it works at the free level:
1. Try one new healthy recipe each week
Use the monthly theme for inspiration. Choose something that already fits your dietary approach — or adapt it in simple ways.
2. Let it fit your real life
Choose recipes that suit your energy and your week, so the challenge feels supportive, not stressful.
3. Build confidence through tiny wins
You’re not aiming for perfection — just one new nourishing step each week.
Over time, this becomes a surprisingly steady rhythm:
inspiration → action → enjoyment → repeat.
That’s where the real nourishment begins.
(More detailed personalisation, deeper recipe adaptation, and guided support happen inside the community — not required, but available if you enjoy that kind of encouragement.)
