Jenni has helped me lose 20 pounds and regain a lifestyle that I had thought I had lost forever.
Before seeing Jenni, I had tried different diets and exercise routines, and listened to people online preaching about different ways to lose weight, but nothing seemed to work.
Throughout the process of working with Jenni, she not only supported my physical, but also mental well-being, and made me feel confident that with a few adjustments, I could get back to how I used to feel.

I am happy to recommend you guys and act as a referral.
I love food and have always had a live to eat vs. eat to live mentality. I’ve struggled with yo-yo dieting and go up and down 20lbs easily – often multiple times in a year. I’ve weighed as much as 200 pounds in my adult life and as low as 128. Exercise over the years has been spotty, but 3 years ago, I made a commitment to get in the best shape of my life – took on circuit training and made some great progress. BUT, progress has always been hindered by diet.
simply don’t really enjoy fruit. Vegetables were a very special occasion food that seemed to be a “why bother” when you can have meat and potatoes. I have a sugar addiction and it wouldn’t be unusual for me to go through phases where I’d make a cake and sit and eat the entire raw cake batter as a treat – or breakfast. And then there’s the addiction to artificial sweeteners – specifically in the form of diet soda.
I like my beer and red wine. I tend to save them for weekends, but a stressful day at work could easily change that, or a special occasion, like Tuesday… I wasn’t a breakfast eater, and it wouldn’t be that odd for me to eat only one meal a day. It worked for me for many years (in that I could drop the weight), but as I’ve hit perimenopause, I’m simply not able to drop that weight so easily and this extreme swing eating isn’t helping me achieve my fitness goals. I had worked with Nutritionists before but diet was like a prescription – eat this many servings of this, keep your macros at that, embrace foods you don’t like, etc.
I came to Caven Nutrition because in the Google reviews, I sensed a far more personalized approach that would work with me to figure out a plan that I could adopt. Enter Caddy. She’s been a game changer. She totally got me and patiently worked with me through my tendency to want to revert to old habits.
Just because I ‘looked’ good at times during my successful diet phases – what was going on in the inside of my body was far from good and what I perceived as success was actually pretty harmful. Having recently met with a Naturopath who worked up my blood and found an arsenal of deficiencies and potential health issues – it became clear that my diet was not only ‘not working for me’, but internally, I was a gong show. I thought I ‘got’ nutrition, but I highly overestimated my understanding and with Caddy’s help and guidance, really started to wrap my head around how what I ingested impacted things I ‘can’t see’ like gut health, inflammation, high stress/cortisol, etc.
So the part everyone really wants to know are “the stats”. I went from 159 to 147 lbs, but more importantly, went from 32.2% to 23.6% body fat or, in other words I lost 16 lbs of fat mass and I put on 6 pounds of muscle. I lost 3″ on my chest, 4″ on my waist, 3.5″ on the hips and 3″ on my thigh.
I’m having WAY more gains with my weight training, lifting heavier and feeling strong. Best of all, I feel like this is my new normal and it feels like a lifestyle, not a diet. Caddy got me there – no way I could have done it without her. And she’s simply an awesome human that I consider more like a friend having worked with her so closely. Let’s never underestimate the power of humour in this process.
If you haven’t had success and are looking for a long term solution, I’d recommend you consider Caven Nutrition. If you are looking to change your health, and not just your weight, this is the right program. The difference between this and other programs is the high touch, highly personalized approach that takes your individual challenges into consideration. Do this for you…you won’t regret it.

One week on the Caven program and I couldn’t believe how great I felt.
“I had issues with digestion and feeling crummy overall due to medication that I was required to take. Prior to working with Caddy, I figured that this was just going to be my reality.
As a foodie who was sometimes afraid to eat new and flavourful foods for fear of not knowing how I was going to react, enough was enough. I came off my medication and was finally back in the driver’s seat.
One week on the Caven program and I couldn’t believe how great I felt.
Read MoreCaddy was my biggest cheerleader and helped me take back control of my body. I learned so many things about myself and had a new win each week. With time, Caddy helped me reincorporate foods that I had avoided for so long – that first bite of dairy-based greek yogurt was AMAZING. With Caddy’s guidance, I felt, and continue to feel, empowered to make good choices which has greatly improved my digestion and led me to lose 15 pounds of fat!
The program never felt like work or something tedious, it was a lifestyle change that I would recommend to anyone. Caddy you were a gem to work with and I truly can’t thank you enough for everything!!”

What a complete transformation it’s been and I don’t just mean my body. It’s changed my life.
(1 Year Update)
A full year out and I’m still at my goal weight. I’ve learned how to navigate the ups and downs, the vacations, the special occasions and I can honestly say that I eat whatever I want. Which I NEVER would have believed was possible before this, but what I want has changed. I’ve learned how to dial things back when they get a bit away from me.
My work with Caven Nutrition taught me more than how to eat, it reminded me how to show up for myself, over and over, to make the choice that supports my health and happiness in the long term, not in the moment.
Read MoreOverall, what I’ve learned and what I want to share is that it doesn’t have to be hard all the time. It’s not all hustle and striving, working and depriving yourself. It’s just not. That’s a lie that we’ve been telling ourselves for so long. That it has to be hard and if you can’t do it, you’re not strong enough, you don’t want it enough. Those things are simply not true.
It’s actually love and compassion, patience and grace. It takes time but when you realize this IS in your control, you can do this, it’s just a series of small choices over and over. It’s choosing to make them, even when things get hard, and being patient with yourself when you feel you can’t. It’s reminding yourself that you can. It’s not punishment or consequence, it’s forgiveness and love.”

I’ll never be able to write how happy and grateful I actually am, but here’s an attempt.
I was hesitant to sign up for the program since all my other attempts at “diets” failed (lose 20 pounds, gain back 25, repeat). But thank God I did, because this isn’t a diet.
It’s not something that you do for three months and then it’s over, it has changed the way that I think about food and the effects are lasting.
All my ‘the-kids-are-asleep-and-I’m-finally-able-to-relax’ cravings and binges are 100% GONE. My asthma is practically gone, my adult acne is practically gone and I can breathe easily through my nose for the first time in my life.
Read MoreRachel helps navigate all the life stuff that can get in the way of treating your body well: work functions, parties, stress, road trips, staying as a guest at someone else’s house etc. She listens, she gets it, and she offers realistic and practical ways to get through them all.
I’ve lost nearly 30 lbs and I’m still losing every week. I’m so proud of myself that I could cry. I’m so grateful that I signed up for this program, it was worth every penny and then some. I have also signed up to work with Rachel for another year.
Bonus: everything that I’m learning is also helping my kids and setting them up for a life-long healthy relationship with food and wellness.”

I really think working with Caven Nutrition changed my life.
Working 60 hours a week, I was stuck in what I considered easy and familiar. On top of that, I also have dietary restrictions and challenges that I felt were limiting my ability to eat healthy.
Jenni was able to support me with a customized and sustainable plan that never felt overwhelming or like I was being deprived. I learned to be more intuitive about my eating and listen better to what I need. I’m much better at recognizing when I start placing judgment on food and getting myself out of that mindset.
