Why I'm in the Venus Network

I was invited by an existing member and had been told by a few other friends that I should "take a look at Venus".

I'm a people person and enjoy working collaboratively so it sounded like a good fit to me and here I am 6 or so years later as it's definitely lived up to expectations.

Testimonials

“I work full time and live with my husband and 2 teenage boys that eat A
LOT.
I tried Marley Spoon and Hello Fresh for a period of time, which was good as I didn’t have the worry about not having the correct ingredients to make a meal as everything was in the bag. But after a period of time, I didn’t feel it was our healthiest option and we got bored with the menu options.
So when I got hold of Cookidoo and did Steph’s planning online I really felt way more in control of exactly what we wanted to eat.
Steph made it so easy to plan for the week and what a nice feeling to go through the day not wondering what we would be having for dinner. It was planned and the shopping list was on my Cookidoo app on my phone so made life more stress free.”
Caroline C (TM31 Owner)- Gold Coast, Australia

“I really enjoyed the What's for Dinner workshop I did with Steph.

Being a busy business owner, wife & mother, there’s always a lot to do and think about!

Steph was really friendly, helpful and organised. Her added tips and focus on wellbeing gave me a sense of comfort when selecting meals to plan for my family for the week ahead.

I learnt how to use Cookidoo more effectively and came to the realisation that with a bit of guidance meal planning was so much quicker and easier to achieve.
It took the pain out of the planning process!!

The group dynamic was fun to be a part of and I didn't want it to finish.”
Louisa - (TM5 Owner) Auckland, NZ

"Thanks SOOO much for my lovely Rimi Jute Basket. I was so stunned at how well made and heavy it is. Its beautiful thanks so much Steph! Please give my thanks to the woman who made it, its so wonderfully crafted. I nearly cried! It reminded me how much fake commercially made things you can buy that replicate, but the real thing is so much more!!!!!!!!! Its sitting in my treatment room!" - Rebecca D

My point of difference

I've been a Thermomix consultant for 10 years and have a wealth of knowledge.

My passion is around eating food that is both delicious AND nutritious.
In response to my customers saying they do not enjoy the "thinking" about what to cook each night... I developed a solution. My What's for Dinner - Meal Plans & Prep System.
By using my meal planning and prep programme in conjunction with a Thermomix you will have a gamechanger combo in your kitchen.
You will also be saving significantly on your weekly supermarket shop and if you're currently using a meal box service you'll save even more. Plus I'll be taking this strain from your brain and giving you back time and energy to use on other priorities.
