Pulse & Balance Coach

Hi, I'm Stephanie

I'm a Certified Chef, Nutrition Coach, Personal Trainer, and proud mom based in Toronto, Canada.

With a culinary background spanning restaurants, catering, and large-scale events, I've spent years creating exceptional food experiences. After becoming a mother, I developed a deeper appreciation for the role that nourishing, well-prepared meals play in our health, energy, and daily lives.

Pulse & Balance was created to bring that experience directly into your home. Through personalized in-home meal prep services, I help busy individuals and families enjoy chef-crafted meals tailored to their goals, dietary needs, and lifestyle. Combining professional culinary expertise with a background in fitness and nutrition, I create meals that are both delicious and purposefully designed to support your well-being.

Because healthy eating should feel effortless, luxurious, and sustainable.

About the Service

Chef Stephanie's meal prep service is a recurring weekly appointment with one of our dedicated personal chefs, thoughtfully designed around you. Before your first session, you'll complete a brief lifestyle survey where we learn about your family's tastes, dietary preferences, and any goals we can help bring to the table. From there, we craft a personalized menu tailored to your household — so all that's left for you to do is choose your favourites and book your first appointment.
Chef Stephanie proudly serves a curated selection of Toronto's most distinguished communities, including North York, Woodbridge, Vaughan, and the surrounding areas. If you reside beyond these regions and are interested in experiencing our services, we warmly invite you to reach out, we would love to explore the possibility of bringing Pulse & Balance Chef to your home.
Our weekly meal prep experience is priced at an hourly rate, with a gracious minimum of 4 hours — grocery procurement is included. A modest travel fee of $15 applies to cover your chef's transportation directly to your door.

Sunday & Monday — $75/hour plus HST
Tuesday through Friday — $65/hour plus HST

A typical session runs 4 to 5 hours, covering menu selection, grocery shopping, cooking, and full kitchen cleanup. Grocery costs are billed separately and we're always mindful of your family's budget.
At Pulse & Balance, your dietary needs are always our priority. Simply get in touch and we'll thoughtfully curate a menu around your requirements. We accommodate a wide range of restrictions including vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, and nut allergies — and are happy to source ingredients to your exact preferences, whether that's organic, gluten-free, or beyond. Favourite family recipes are always welcome too.

Service Information

To ensure your chef can deliver the most seamless and exceptional experience, please have the following ready before their arrival:

Your Kitchen: Empty the dishwasher and clear the sink. Reserve at least one shelf in the refrigerator for your prepared dishes. Ensure cleaning essentials are stocked — dish soap, sponges, clean dish cloths, paper towels, parchment paper and aluminum foil. Keep a generous supply of salt, pepper, and at least one litre each of quality olive oil and avocado oil. Have containers ready for your chef to package and store your meals.

Kitchen Equipment: Your chef will arrive with their own professional knives and specialty tools. Please ensure the following are available: 2 cutting boards, tongs, 2 spatulas, a wooden spoon, a whisk, several mixing bowls, a medium and large pot, a non-stick pan, a heavyweight large frying pan, a blender, and 2 baking sheets.
We warmly recommend greeting your chef on their first visit to personally introduce them to your home and kitchen. If your schedule doesn't allow for this, detailed instructions shared via text or email work beautifully. Please include entry and exit instructions, and familiarize your chef with any important household details such as smoke alarms, pets, waste and recycling, and the location of washrooms.
Every dish prepared by your chef will be carefully labelled, dated, and accompanied by detailed heating and serving instructions — so enjoying your meals throughout the week is as effortless as possible.
We have a holiday closure from December 23 – January 5. Meal prep services will be unavailable on these dates.

We also do not provide services on the following statutory holidays:

• New Year's Day
• Family Day
• Good Friday
• Victoria Day
• Canada Day
• Labour Day
• Thanksgiving Day (Monday)

Planned Vacations: We kindly ask for a minimum of 4 weeks' notice for any planned vacations or extended time away. Please notify your chef directly via text or email, or reach us at pulsenbalance@gmail.com. Failure to provide sufficient notice may result in your reserved time slot being offered to another client.

Last-Minute Cancellations: We respectfully request a minimum of 48 hours' notice prior to your appointment. Cancellations made within 48 hours will be subject to a late cancellation fee:

Half-Day Sessions — $150 plus HST
Full-Day Sessions — $300 plus HST

In certain circumstances, we may be able to accommodate a reschedule or arrange a convenient drop-off service in lieu of your session. We are truly grateful for the trust you place in Pulse & Balance Chef — delivering an exceptional, deeply personal experience is at the heart of everything we do.

The Difference

Effortless, Elevated Nutrition

Healthy eating becomes second nature when a dedicated chef sources the finest ingredients and prepares everything in the comfort of your own home. We proudly cook for nutritionists, athletes, physicians, and personal trainers — many of whom describe our service as truly life-changing.

Your Time, Reclaimed

Say goodbye to weekend grocery runs, delivery windows, and reheated meal kits. Every dish is freshly prepared and ready to enjoy — because your time is far too valuable to spend otherwise.

Entirely Personalized

From picky eaters to specialized medical diets, our service is designed to work beautifully for every member of your household. Using only whole foods and fully customized recipes, we accommodate any preference, allergy, or dietary requirement with ease.

Uncompromising Freshness

Our chefs source only what is needed for your chosen dishes and prepare everything immediately after — ensuring peak freshness, exceptional flavour, and virtually zero food waste.
