Discovering Southwest France
After many years of working in the holistic health industry, teaching holistic nutrition students, and mentoring graduates, Bianca Church was ready to expand. She had visited the Dordogne region of Southwest France with her husband Tom and found the magic of the Black Perigord.
Amazing Food & Community in Coly-Saint-Amand
The food of the Black Perigord was the epitome of “live, natural, and good quality”, just as Danielle Perrault, late found of CSNN, had coined it. It was exactly the type of food Bianca taught her clients and students to eat. After spending 3 weeks in the Black Perigord, she never wanted to leave and every holiday afterwards was back to the same area. That village was Condat-sur-Vezere.
As the relationships Bianca and her husband found there grew, so did their connection to the friends. Their time in Black Perigord allowed them to understand the French culture, the amazing quality of food, and the sense of community. Bianca knew that she had to share this experience with like-minded people. She wanted other holistic nutritionists and those who seek optimum wellness to see first hand how a dedication to quality food and community are the foundations of good health. This is where Learn, Eat, Be Well was born and where Bianca and her husband would buy an uninhabitable French cottage that would eventually become their home – “La Petite Bijoux”.
Holistic Nutritionist and Experienced Teacher
I am a deeply committed holistic nutritionist who has been in the holistic health industry since 1998. I started my career in holistic health as an assistant to a Master Herbalist and then went on to nutraceutical sales in 2000. By 2004 I was ready for a formal education in Natural Nutrition and by 2005 I was a board-certified Holistic Nutritionist and held certifications in breast cancer prevention and advanced Holistic Iridology. As I believe strongly in upgrading, I completed a post graduate diploma in adult education in 2022 and am now working on a MSc in Clinical Nutrition at Aberdeen’s prestigious Rowatt Institute.
I have also held several educational roles in the holistic health industry; a Holistic Nutritionist working with clients, a teacher to students of holistic nutrition , a curriculum developer for The Canadian School of Natural Nutrition, a graduate mentor through my program “Wellness Business Systems”, a personalized one-on-one teleconference mentoring program that allows graduates and alternative health practitioners to set up a ready-made nutrition business, and most recently, as an educational tour operator in my continuing education vacation program Learn, Eat, & Be Well – SW France. https://learneatbewell.com/
With a strong background in holistic nutrition and adult education, a contagious passion for health and wellness, and a desire to see fellow practitioners succeed, I have helped many clients achieve their wellness goals and many students / graduates of nutrition be the best they can be.
“What can I say! I loved the ‘whole’ experience. It was a trip of a lifetime. I felt so alive and well in France. Being with like-minded individuals, sharing good conversation, great food, and the atmosphere…..just breathtaking!”
