Caitlin Iles

Before the Academy of Culinary Nutrition became an online school, Meghan offered the program live in downtown Toronto and Caitlin was one of the very first graduates of the program.

Caitlin has been rocking holistic wellness retreats that invite clients to slow down, nourish themselves and breathe. But that’s not all – she also works one-on-one with clients, teaches cooking classes, is a program coach for the Culinary Nutrition Expert program and posts a ton of helpful content and recipes on her blog. We also love seeing her as a guest on television programs across Canada, where she teaches cooking skills like creating fermented foods and easy breakfast recipes.
