This immersive plant-based training goes beyond recipes.
You’ll learn how to nourish your body, reset your gut, and create food that heals—physically, emotionally, and energetically. Whether you’re here to deepen your own wellness or support others on their path, this isn’t just a course. It’s a return to vitality—rooted in nature, guided from the kitchen, and designed to help you feel like you again.
The Guided Year is so much more than a certification—it’s a year-long immersion into the art of raw food, plant-based nutrition, and embodied transformation.
Rooted in the internationally recognized Raw Food Chef Certification Program by Pachavega, this experience invites a select group of change-makers to journey together through powerful weekly modules, live coaching, and deep personal evolution.
You’ll learn to craft nourishing, vibrant meals…
But more than that, you’ll uncover what it means to live in alignment with nature, with your body, and with the part of you that’s been waiting to rise.
Led by our founder Danielle Arsenault, the weekly live Zoom calls offer space for coaching, questions, and meaningful integration. You’ll be supported, challenged, and celebrated every step of the way.
Connection is core to this journey. Inside our private online community, you’ll meet like-minded souls from around the world, share wins and struggles, and form relationships that last far beyond the course.
The Guided Year is for the dreamers, seekers, and healers ready to embody their power, claim their creativity, and come home to themselves—through food, community, and truth.
Whether you’re a seasoned chef or a passionate beginner, this program will meet you exactly where you are—and help you rise.
Food is the Foundation. Healing is Holistic. From Here, Everything Expands.

Once you register, you will get immediate access to the Online Raw Food Chef Certification Program. You can begin at your own pace, snoop around and start working on the modules at your own pace. Then, we meet all together the first week of June to begin our guided journey together, with weekly check-ins and group coaching for a full year on a unique schedule that flows with the intensity of the program.
Awaken Your Power in the Kitchen. This isn’t just culinary training—it’s a guided, year-long journey into the heart of raw food mastery and holistic healing. The Guided Year is for those ready to transform their lives from the inside out, using food as the gateway to deep nourishment, vitality, and purpose. You’ll learn how to prepare living, vibrant meals that not only taste amazing but help you reconnect with your body, intuition, and the earth.
Guided by Purpose. Anchored in Community. Over 40 weeks, you’ll move through a powerful curriculum that blends hands-on culinary skills with nutritional science and personal growth. Weekly group coaching calls with founder Danielle Arsenault provide a safe, supportive space to ask questions, share breakthroughs, and stay accountable. This isn’t a self-paced course you’ll forget about—it’s a living, breathing community designed to keep you inspired and in motion.
Food is the Foundation. Healing is Holistic. Our students come from all over the world, called by the same knowing: they’re meant for more. More energy, more creativity, more clarity. They’re ready to break old patterns, step into their power, and eat in a way that supports both personal and planetary healing. Through this program, you’ll experience the transformation that happens when you nourish your body on a cellular level—and let that nourishment ripple through every part of your life.
If you’re looking at becoming a certified Raw Food Chef or you just want to arm yourself with nutrition knowledge and a bunch of new delicious recipes, you’ve come to the right place. You do not need to be vegan or raw or 100% of anything to take this course. We believe in trying our best and making mistakes in moderation. Which is why you’ll even see a bonus module in this course – “Cooked Comfort Foods to Drool Over” – because after 300+ students, we know that falling off the wagon is normal and to cheat a little is human.
It’s not about what you do occasionally that will have the greatest impact on your life and overall health – it’s what you do consistently that matters. This is not another fad diet. This is life.
Wherever you are, it’s perfect. We honor where you are at. No matter what stage of your journey. You’re doing your very best with the tools and skills you have right now.
But the exciting news is, you’re ready to make a change, a shift for the better. At Pachavega, we’re all about small, permanent lifestyle changes. This course is for you if you’re ready and willing to make the change you’ve always wanted to and we’ll be here, guiding you the whole way! Your future is now.
