Cooking Demos

Businesses worldwide prioritize employee health because healthy, motivated people perform better and experience greater success.

The Back Rub Company’s corporate and holistic cooking demos are designed to educate and inspire employees to change internal beliefs and behaviors and improve their diet.

We tailor our approach to meet your employees at their current level of cooking skills and dietary challenges so they can gain more energy for work and life. We show your staff members how great taste and good nutrition go hand-in-hand and put them on the path towards the future of medicine.

Our culinary educators are experts in their fields, ranging from healthy foods coaches to experienced chefs; and specialize in corporate wellness and integrative nutrition.
