Experience the joys of plant-powered, vegan living – build resilience and empowerment – thrive in heart, mind, body, and spirit – find your voice – express your purpose

Curious about moving toward a plant-based, vegan lifestyle? Feeling overwhelmed with how to get started – or how to overcome personal and social challenges along the way?

Or are you already vegan, and need support in addressing the social or emotional challenges of living in a non-vegan world, so that you can enjoy a fulfilled and thriving vegan lifestyle? Perhaps, you are seeking to express your unique voice and purpose, make a positive difference, and inspire others?

What is a Whole Food Plant-Based (WFPB) diet? 

It is a plant-exclusive (vegan) diet, focused on whole plant foods, as minimally processed as possible.  It’s also sometimes called a whole plant food diet. This way of eating has been associated with numerous health benefits, and is high in nutrients, antioxidants, and fiber.  It is a lifestyle that includes an abundance of fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts, seeds, spices, and herbs. It’s a way of living that can optimize your emotional and physical health, and is kinder to animals and the planet as well.

Why Focus on Whole Plant Foods?  Countless studies show the benefits of this lifestyle for:

• Preventing and reversing heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, many forms of cancer, and autoimmune disease
• Reducing blood pressure and cholesterol levels
• Reaching and maintaining ideal weight
• Less inflammation and pain
• Improved digestion
• Improved mental and emotional well-being

The changes that many women experience after starting a plant-based, vegan lifestyle include:

• No longer having overwhelming cravings for sugar and unhealthy foods
• Effortlessly losing extra pounds and maintaining their optimal weight
• More consistent energy and more positive moods
• Relief from chronic allergies, congestion, or sinus issues
• Glowing, healthy skin
• Fewer hormonal issues or menopausal symptoms
• Decreased inflammation and pain, and quicker recovery after exercise
• Improvements in many chronic health conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, and autoimmune disorders
• The joy of healthful, compassionate, cruelty-free, and sustainable living
• Fulfillment, peace, and a sense of freedom from living in alignment with core values and honoring compassion for all beings

I know that you want to feel amazing, too!

I invite YOU to start YOUR plant-powered journey – to feel your best – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually!

About the Instructor:

Angela Crawford, Ph.D., Psychologist, Transformational Coach, Vegan Lifestyle Educator, Food for Life Instructor, Certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition

As a psychologist for 25+ years, I have helped hundreds of people make lifestyle changes to achieve better physical, mental, and emotional health. In my previous work as a psychotherapist, I supported people to reach their goals for greater physical and emotional well-being. Now as a vegan educator, transformational coach, and culinary instructor, I draw on this experience to empower people to transition to and thrive with a plant-powered, vegan lifestyle.

On a personal level, although I was physically active and valued a healthy lifestyle, for the first few decades of my life, I was not a healthy eater.  I ate a lot of comfort foods, microwave meals, sweets, and processed foods.  I thought I needed meat or dairy at nearly every meal.  I didn’t like to cook, and I didn’t eat many fruits and vegetables. 

What opened my eyes and led me to eating more plants was when I learned about how animal agriculture works.   I saw a TV program about workers in a meat processing plant.  Many of them were immigrants. They had frequent injuries from this difficult work and were so financially vulnerable that they couldn’t speak up.  They didn’t have power in this system.  It made me think about how my food got to me, and the injustices involved in this process.

And then I started to think about all aspects of it, including the treatment of animals and what was actually going into my body when I ate animal-based foods. I learned about factory farming and the suffering of animals in animal agriculture. I started reading everything I could.  I went to my local library and read every book on vegetarianism and veganism.  I learned about the health benefits for reversing heart disease from Dr. Dean Ornish and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn.  That really hit home for me because I have a strong family history of heart disease.  I was also deeply affected as I learned about the impact of animal agriculture on animals and the environment.

After watching that program, I started cooking. The very next day, I bought my first plant-based cookbook, and made vegetarian lasagna.  I had to buy all these new pots and pans because I never cooked.  It was a great experience and I found that I loved to cook – once I switched to plant-based. 

So many doors opened.  I tried new spices. I tried new ingredients that I’d never thought of before.  I started trying a new recipe or two every week. And over a few months, I gave up meat entirely.  It was deeply fulfilling – I learned to cook and to enjoy an abundance of healthy, delicious vegetarian foods.

Several years later I decided to become vegan and eliminated dairy and eggs.  I found that after releasing dairy from my life, my seasonal allergies – that I thought I would always have – just went away.  Some skin conditions that I struggled with went away too. I also felt at peace emotionally as I lived more in alignment with my values of compassion for all beings, along with supporting my health and the planet. Other benefits unfolded, such as authentic fulfillment, meaning and purpose, and spiritual deepening. I also found my voice and a deep sense of contributing to many things I care about deeply.

So here I am, many years later, with great health and a lot of energy. I feel good about the way I’m eating, knowing that it is kinder to animals, the planet, and my own health. It feels good on all levels.  And now my food choices are so much more varied and interesting and nourishing than they used to be!
