Claudia Côté-Robitaille
Claudia has an empathetic, respectful and practical approach. She is open to trying different ways to help you achieve your goals. It is very important for Claudia to give tips adapted to each client while being enriched with knowledge to allow the maintenance of long-term objectives.
Her dynamism and her pleasure in sharing her knowledge make her an excellent facilitator of culinary workshops and conferences.
Having practiced competitive swimming for many years, Claudia understands the demands of high performance sport. However, since stopping the competition, Claudia has tried different sports for the pleasure of moving such as climbing, hiking, cross-country skiing, cycling, bodybuilding, squash… Because we can do sport for performance or just for fun!
Meals should be fun throughout the day, which is why trying new recipes or new ingredients is so important to Claudia. Having fun eating is as important as eating what you need to provide enough energy and nutrients for your daily activities and sports.
