Nutrition

Meals-For-Meals-For-Life Coach was founded by Korrie Hicks.  As an athlete she has always been
conscientious about the food prepared for herself & her family.  She too has
struggled with finding the time to eat/cook healthy - not only finding the time but
also having the understanding of what eating healthy really meant.
As your personal nutritional coach, she will listen and work with you to formulate
strategies that will work to accomplish goals you have made. The knowledge she has
gained through both education and personal experience will help you get on track to
a new healthier you. What Meals-For-Life Coach has to offer is not a diet program
but a way to make beneficial meal choices for life.
