Testimonials

Vicki Brett-Gach, MVLCE, Michigan

"The Main Street Vegan Academy experience was life-changing. Now I coach individual clients around the country, provide corporate wellness counseling to larger groups, teach culinary classes, work as a personal chef, and I’m currently writing a cookbook.The knowledge, the compassion, the wisdom, the insights, and the expertise that Victoria and her hand-selected instructors share through this program is not only transformative, it is without equal."

Dianne Wenz, VLCE, New Jersey

"I can’t fully express my gratitude to Victoria Moran for MSVA. The class was an incredible experience with an amazing lineup of presenters, exactly what I needed to jumpstart my Vegan counselling business."

Elaine Hutchison, VLCE, Washington

"As a Main Street Vegan Academy graduate, I have a suggestion: Charge more! I didn't pay nearly enough for the incredible quality of the presenters. The excitement started the very first day with Victoria Moran's history lecture. Then my brain exploded when I heard Martin Rowe on the environment. A voice in my head said, 'Girl, you are off the porch and running with the big dogs' -- and I haven't stopped."

Naomi Green, VLCE, Belize

"Seven years ago when I attended MSVA I had no idea how life-changing it would be. It was the catalyst for my successful Vegan coaching business which was the inspiration for the Vegan cooking & adventure retreats I run with my husband, and our latest project, the Vegan retreat center we built in Belize."

Sue Sullivan, VLCE, Massachusetts

"I thoroughly enjoyed my Main Street Vegan Academy experience and I strongly recommend this program to any vegan who is striving to increase their own love vibration, and that of our entire planet."

Diana Goldman, VLCE, Massachusetts

"As a relatively new Vegan, I attended MSVA to learn more. Little did I know I would meet such wonderful people, be embraced by a warm and welcoming community, and expand my horizons in such fulfilling and numerous ways. Victoria Moran is a gem and I feel blessed to know her and be part of the vast circle of people touched by her wisdom, generosity, and compassionate spirit."
