Looking for a health, wellness and nutrition speaker?
Wondering if our workplace wellness initiatives are a fit for your organization? 

Read about what some of our past clients had to say about our services:

“During the early months of the pandemic, we hosted 8 roundtable sessions with our Group Retirement Clients. As we were building the agenda, we felt strongly we needed a speaker thNutrition speaker and health and wellness speaker Canada USAat would align with our overall wellness and our company Purpose. The HR professionals attending were concerned about the wellbeing of their workforce and Andrea was the perfect choice to close out our sessions with education and valuable tips centered around food and nutrition.  She was creative and so engaging in the delivery of her content (live from her kitchen) and we received very positive feedback in our post event survey.  I highly recommend the Chocoholic Nutritionist for any audience given the importance nutrition plays in our ability to bring our very best to each and every day.  This is more important than ever. Thank you Andrea!”

Sun Life Financial


“As a leading global strategy company, our goal as part of our internal Wellbeing Initiative was to encourage our employees that work in highly technical and fast paced positions to be more balanced and aware of their own body and mind. A central part of this initiative has been the keynote Andrea presented on Performance Boosting Nutrition. Andrea gave us valuable tips and tricks on how to integrate a balanced and less time-consuming diet into a challenging workday marked by back-to-back meetings. Andrea presents with so much passion and commitment that one is directly impacted to also look intensively at one’s own nutrition. Thank you Andrea for a great session and accompanying us on this journey.”

Bas van Langen (Principal), Tom Ludwig (HR Specialist) & Carolin Schermann (HR Assistant),  BCG Platinion (Division of Boston Consulting Group), Germany

 

“Andrea provided our real estate brokerage with a series of four virtual nutrition workshops this past year.  She is engaging and informed. The best part was the feedback from our team of staff members and realtors! They gained a lot of insight into their eating habits and loved the practical advice. We will definitely engage with Andrea again in the future.”

Amy Hummer, Owner

“Thanks Andrea for an amazing presentation, I have heard all positive remarks from attendees and the evaluations show the same sentiment. It is really gratifying when a speaker does their “homework” and weaves in our profession’s day to day challenges within their content, you did an awesome job of this! You truly took the “die” out of Dietician! Your information on healthy eating and simplifying how we can work towards this as we are all so busy really hit the mark. Andrea connects very well with her audience; she is energetic, funny, and very approachable.”

Carole Ann LaGrange, Transfusion Medicine Safety Officer
Event Planner for Laboratory Diagnostic Imaging Annual Event 

 

“I am so grateful for the onsite executive coaching of Health Stand Nutrition Consulting Inc. that our company, Walton Global Investments Ltd., decided to provide to the executives. Of course, I have always known that healthy eating is essential for overall long term health, but it has been with your instructions that I have committed myself to proper nutrition – and it’s working! As a result of these sessions, I am more productive, have more energy at work, and have learned not only what to eat, why and when, but also easy strategies to keep it up. My commitment to long term health has never been better or more fun. Thanks for sharing your expertise and putting me on the path to a healthy life.”

Leslie Fryers, Q.C., ICD.D, Executive Vice President, Law
Walton Global Investments Ltd.

 

“As a construction company, we select speakers who can relate to our industry and its employees. Andrea’s message was delivered with humor and empathy. She makes people feel as though they can make changes without leaving behind every favorite food. Andrea focused her presentation on healthy eating as a way to keep energy high throughout the day. This message and the way it was delivered resonated with our predominantly male, blue collar culture. I would highly recommend Andrea as a speaker for groups such as ours. She will get your message across without alienating anyone in your audience – which is a huge hurdle when trying to introduce a wellness program in the workplace!”

Stephanie Wood, HR and Safety Manager
Fisher Construction Group, Burlington, WA

 

“Excellent presentation! What a refreshing change to have a speaker inspire rather than “lecture” about nutrition. Your captivating stories, tips and overall approach to healthy eating uplifts and puts people at ease. It was great to hear we don’t need to strive to be perfect eaters, and that small changes really can make a difference in how we feel and in our health. Thanks to Andrea, we have solutions to our everyday nutrition challenges that can actually work in real life!”

Tina Tamagi, Human Resources,
ARC Resources Ltd.

 

“Andrea’s presentation was very entertaining, engaging and inspiring. I loved the personal approach. It was good to see the material presented in a manner that could be well received by the audience who for the most part would be unwilling/open to changing their diet for the better.”

Brandon Buchholz, Health Care Aide
Attendee of First Nations and Inuit Health: Health Care Aide Training Day

 

“We have worked with Registered Dietitian Andrea Holwegner to organize and facilitated seminars, onsite nutrition counselling, healthy catering menus and a one-of-a-kind monthly nutrition club. We have consistently found Andrea’s expert advice, approachability and sense of humour are very well received by our employees. She is quick to help develop new creative initiatives and go the extra mile to help create value for our corporate wellness program.  Having the same ongoing person supporting our nutrition initiatives has a clear return on investment and has helped drive home a consistent credible message. I would not hesitate to recommend Andrea as a speaker for your next event and partner in co-creating nutrition initiatives for your workplace. She can help your employees tackle better productivity, less stress, weight management, heart health and more.”

Jen Huebner, Health & Safety Specialist
Health & Wellness, Chevron Canada Resources

 

“Andrea Holwegner was a guest speaker at our annual retreat and was great! Addressing a full room of doctors to discuss nutrition is a challenge, I am sure…but Andrea hit the mark by teaching us about the psychology of eating…the why and how it is that we ignore what we know about health…much more useful than a lecture on food. She was fun and engaging and the information she gave us was very, very relevant to all of us. Thank you Andrea!”

Dr. Val Kirk MD FRCPC CCPE, Deputy Head
Department of Paediatrics
, University of Calgary

 

“Andrea is not only a wellness expert but also an engaging speaker that has stirred up positive change in our team. As a group of busy professionals with very demanding jobs, we appreciated Andrea’s practical, not perfect approach. She enthusiastically led our half-day offsite retreat with relevant strategies to improve our nutrition, health and productivity. Each of us took away simple tips that could be implemented right away to help us manage stress and improve how we perform in our professional and personal lives.”

“I am a family physician who sees patients with a myriad of eating concerns – from wanting to know how to plan healthy meals for active families, to weight loss, to eating disorders, and so on. I cannot recommend the Health Stand team highly enough. I have worked with (and been to!) other dieticians in the past and too often find that they just ask for food logs and make suggestions that are easily obtained online or in books. The dieticians at Health Stand offer much more than just telling clients what they “should be eating.” In contrast, the team really does more of a counselling practice, and they work hard to help their clients learn more about why their eating habits may be off track and not optimal for them, as well as helping people to effect change at a deep level that, most importantly, is sustainable for lifetime health.”

Dr. Deb Putnam, Family Physician
Nutrition counseling client & referring physician

 

“Andrea, your high energy keynote session delivered at our conference was right on target! Your positive contagious energy and humour generated optimism with our group. Your stories and practical tips not only captivated the attention of our group, but inspired us to take charge of our health. We learned that eating well doesn’t have to be difficult, and that small changes can really make a difference in how we feel at work every day. Your fresh approach to healthy eating and philosophy that all foods can fit really allowed you to connect with the audience. We look forward to having you speak to our group again. Thanks!”

Debra Watt, Manager, Court Services
Alberta Justice

 

“Andrea, I just wanted you to know that your session changed my life.  I never took the time to understand nutrition – I love food, I am not over-weight, so all is cool!  So I thought.  The seminar taught me some very practical things and tips.  But mostly Andrea, it’s the common sense approach and the no “severe” rules approach that you used to deliver the material that made it worthwhile.  I left feeling that I could do something about it and it was not going to be negative (I can still have my two glasses of wine!).  I am now so much more aware of nutrition and its impact on my life. Thanks again.”

Richard Boyer, President & CEO, Gienow Windows & Doors
(Attended 1/2 day workshop for his CEO business group TEC)

 

“We have continued to bring Andrea back multiple times as a speaker for our organization because her message clearly hits home with our employees.  She has a unique ability to bring fun, relevant and realistic solutions to help our employees live healthier despite demanding work schedules.  When employees are healthier, our company benefits with an improved bottom line.  When you need a motivational speaker that will deliver education mixed with a sense of humour in the topic areas of health, wellness and productivity, Andrea will deliver”.

Stephanie Stillinger, Manager, Human Resources, Disability Management & Wellness Newalta Corporate Office

 

“Andrea was entertaining and engaging. It was nice to see that she researched our profession and adapted her presentation. We would definitely recommend Andrea for your keynote speaker.”

Ashlee Lay, Vice President
Alberta Shorthand Reporters Association

 

Hey Andrea, I gathered some feedback from attendees of your presentation and wanted to share these positive reviews with you:
“Andrea’s presentation on healthy productive energy was refreshing, informative, and very engaging. Andrea spoke to every person in the room relating to the struggles with healthy eating, time management, and of course the occasional cravings. This made her very relatable to the group, and let employees really engage in the conversation. She has obvious experience with presenting in front of larger groups and knows how to read her audience.”
“Although Andreas presentation had to be general due to the large audience size, I enjoyed watching multiple people around the room relating to different aspects of the presentation. Andrea made nutrition and health eating feasible and really steered individuals away from restrictive dieting.”

“The quick tips Andrea provided are manageable objectives that every individual can add into a healthy eating lifestyle. Andrea gave good, practical information related to meal ideas, and I liked her tips on improving energy.”
“Andrea was an engaging presenter that provided very clear and practical ways of improving my diet and energy level through food.”

Carrie Soby, Health Programs Analyst
TC Energy

 

“Andrea has a longstanding, solid reputation with colleagues and clients because of her creative, compassionate, “let’s do it” approach to life and work.  Her information is credible, evidence-based and better yet, presented in a way that sticks. I’ve referred clients to her practice for over ten years, knowing their personal struggles and questions will be greeted with zero judgement.  Rather, Andrea understands that everyone’s relationship with food can sometimes be distressing or frustrating, and she welcomes a chance to explore solutions that are practical and joyful.”

Dr. Colleen Cannon, Clinical Psychologist
Co-founder Craving Change Inc. 

 

“WOW—-We don’t have to be perfect. What a relief! Andrea spoke at our annual fall conference, and just lit up the room with her energized, dynamic, and inspiring presentation. The feedback from our participants was just glowing; like they’ve been renewed and given permission to focus on what really counts at meal time. The real life approach to food and nutrition is so much more attainable and sustainable. Our group consisted of Food and Nutrition managers, dietitians, and food industry reps, and all were engaged with Andrea’s messages.”

Denise Russell, President
Alberta Society of Nutrition Managers

 

“Andrea is a very engaging speaker who tailors her talks to the needs of the group. She has great nutritional advice geared towards keeping your energy levels at a premium for shift workers. Her humour and customization of materials caters to balancing effectively between being a busy mom and a nurse.  She was the vibrant closing keynote speaker for our conference and despite speaking to health professionals (many of which were quite healthy), the audience was pleasantly surprised with how much they took away from the session.”

Clare Puzey RN, BN, CCN(C), ACCN, Clinical Nurse Educator
Canadian Council of Cardiovascular Nurses

 

“Andrea is a highly engaging, energetic speaker; a true professional with extensive knowledge and expertise in her chosen field.  She employs humor, and encourages questions and learning in her presentation style, which was a great fit for our team members. Her session was well-attended, team members were highly-engaged, and the feedback we received afterwards was very positive. Andrea collaborates with her clients to identify the best fit to meet your organizational objectives. She is very organized and punctual. Andrea also shared feedback forms with us to maximize the effectiveness of future team member sessions. I would encourage you to work with Andrea to set up a speaking engagement that suits your organization in the near future!  I assure you that you will not be disappointed!”

“Hi Andrea. I was on your webinar with you several months ago. If anything you’ve given me at least a mindset I can follow. It’s nice to hear that I don’t have to give everything up, and since then I’ve been trying harder than I’ve ever had, and I still have things when I want them, but I don’t do the whole cheat day thing, I think that throws a lot of people off. I’d rather just have a bit of something when I want it. I just hit 40 lbs gone, and am looking forward to the next 40. I’m still not perfect in how I eat, and I don’t think I can be, but what I’m doing seems to be working. And I still get my chocolate too…lol…I just try to have it a little at a time. Thanks for changing my mind.”

Glenn DuHart, Webinar Attendee
Government of Canada (Employment and Social Development Canada)

 

“We can’t thank you enough for your contributions to our HealthCare Education day, especially on such tight timelines. The amount of work you put into tailoring your message and your presentation to our crowd was very clear. Your presentation was an incredible opportunity for our customers to take something away not only for their professional lives, but for their personal lives as well. Additionally, your energy and ability to relate to the audience was invaluable as a presenter. Your presentation truly transcended age and time, and everybody was able to relate and walk away with something to help them out. Thank you so much for inspiring that in our customers and in us. We hope to have you back again.”

I would strongly recommend Andrea as a strong and energetic speaker.”

Karen Whiteman, Executive Director
