About the Courses & Programme

Do I need to be 100% raw from day one?

No. We work step by step, and you decide the pace. I have been through many of the challenges myself and can show you what helped me. Some people change quickly, others take their time. Both are fine.

What if my family eats cooked food?

I’ll show you how to cook for them while eating raw yourself. Nicole did it with three kids. Many of the women I teach have families who eat cooked food. It’s completely doable.

Do I need cooking skills or special equipment?

No special skills needed. I teach you everything from scratch. Equipment-wise, you’ll eventually want a dehydrator (for raw bread and crackers) and a good blender, but we can start with what you have at home.

What if I have tried before and given up?

This time you don’t learn alone. I teach thoroughly, answer every question and stay with you through the practical details of everyday life. Many of the obstacles you may meet, I have met myself, and I can show you the ways I found through them.

Where do the courses take place?

Courses and workshops take place in Vienna and online. One-to-one lessons are available online, and in Vienna by arrangement.

About the Support

How does WhatsApp support work?

Monday to Friday, you can message me with questions about the course content, photos of your dishes, things that didn’t work out, little successes. I respond within 24 hours, usually much faster. It’s like having your teacher within reach.

What happens in the 12 lessons?

Each lesson is 60 minutes. We work on what you are learning, practise together, I answer your questions, we look at what you have tried and plan the next steps. Every lesson is tailored to where you are on your path.

What if I need to reschedule a lesson?

Just let me know at least 24 hours in advance and we’ll find a new time. Life happens – I understand.

About Feng Shui, Numerology & Shamanic Work

How do the Feng Shui lessons work?

You learn the foundations of the classical compass method and apply them step by step to your own home, room by room. You receive written materials and concrete design impulses that you can put into practice yourself.

What is shamanic process work?

Images from nature, rituals, stories and symbols become pathways of perception and personal reflection. They open new perspectives without imposing a ready-made truth on you. Shamanic process work is not psychotherapy and does not treat psychological problems.

Do I need to believe in Feng Shui or shamanism?

No. Living cuisine, Feng Shui, numerology and shamanic work are offerings you can explore with curiosity. Use what resonates with you, and leave what doesn’t.

Practical Questions

What can I expect?

That depends on you, your starting point and how much you put into practice. Many of the women I teach describe more joy in preparing food, a new confidence in the kitchen and a home that feels more like their own. The focus is on lasting everyday habits, not quick fixes.

Will I feel satisfied with raw food?

Yes, when it is prepared well. Living cuisine can be generous and filling, and in the lessons you learn how to put together meals that leave you truly satisfied.

What about social situations and eating out?

You’ll learn practical strategies for restaurants, parties and family gatherings. Many of the women I teach keep a full social life while eating raw. You just need to know how.

Is this expensive (food costs)?

Raw food can be as affordable or as luxurious as you make it. Seasonal fruit and vegetables are affordable, exotic superfoods are optional. I’ll show you how to do this on any budget.

How is this offering defined legally?

My offerings are teaching and adult education for healthy adults. I pass on knowledge and skills that you apply yourself; I do not diagnose, do not create nutrition or therapy plans and make no healing promises. Medical diagnosis and treatment, nutrition counselling and dietetics, and psychotherapy remain with the professions legally authorised to provide them.

Investment & Payment

How much does the programme cost?

Prices are discussed in your free discovery call. This lets me understand what you want to learn and make sure Raw & Real is the right fit before we talk about the investment.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes, payment plans are available. We’ll discuss options that work for you during the discovery call.

Is there a refund policy?

If after the first lesson you feel this isn’t for you, you can cancel and receive a full refund. Your statutory right of withdrawal as a consumer also applies – details are in the terms and conditions.

About Amy

What makes your courses different?

I’m thorough. I have lived with raw food for years and know its everyday challenges from the inside. I don’t hand you a recipe booklet and disappear; I teach you until you can do it yourself. And I combine living cuisine with Feng Shui and shamanic nature work, which you rarely find together.

What’s your background?

I have practised raw veganism since 2014 (with some breaks) and have been teaching for nearly two decades. I trained in classical compass Feng Shui, shamanism and various body-work practices. Just as important: I have lived what I teach.
