Welcome to the SimplyRaw blog! SimplyRaw is based in Ottawa, Canada – we provide a range of services and products to help make it easier for people to incorporate more raw vegan choices into their lives. We are also involved in community outreach activities to help spread the word far and wide.
Our services include:
An amazing raw detox program based on the teachings of Ann Wigmore. Our 4-week guided program includes a comprehensive raw food detox manual, complete with step-by-step guidance and lots of nourishing recipes; an online peer support group for participants; and weekly in-person group meetings for those in Ottawa; or weekly phone consultations for participants around the world.
Simply delicious raw food-prep workshops that delve into a range of easy to prepare recipes that also taste great! Each 2-hour workshop includes lots of yummy food, hands-on learning opportunities in a small group setting, and recipe handouts for everything we make in the class.
For that extra bit of personalized attention we also offer private coaching either in-person or over the phone from anywhere in the world. Each consultation session helps you to identify personal goals and a plan to achieve your goals.
For the benefit of the community we also host non-profit monthly raw vegan potlucks that attract a diverse group of both newbies and those living the lifestyle. We organize a yearly raw festival to come together with the raw community to celebrate, and help get the word out more broadly. We also love being in the public eye and get out to as many community events & health shows as possible, and engage the local newspapers, radio and tv stations to promote the raw lifestyle.
Natasha and Mark will be posting here whenever we get the opportunity. Enjoy!
