Food as a mirror.

Food is so much more than fuel for our bodies. Eating reflects the array of circumstances, decisions, and beliefs that bring us to eat the way we do. Beyond health and nutrition, my approach to cooking also considers ethical, environmental, and social aspects of food. I’m honored to care for people on their journey as they ponder the foods they eat and understand who they are in a deeper, more authentic way.

What is a holistic chef?

As a holistic chef, I emphasize the interconnectedness of food, health, and well-being, blending my culinary expertise with knowledge of holistic healing and mindful living.

My Approach

I Focus on Whole, Nutrient-Dense Foods

  • I prioritize unprocessed, whole foods like fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and high-quality proteins.

  • I seamlessly cater to specific dietary needs, such as gluten-free, dairy-free, IBS, or plant-based diets.

    Commitment to Sustainability

  • I source ingredients locally and seasonally, supporting local producers at event locations and reducing environmental impact.

  • I prioritize organic or regenerative agriculture products to align with environmental sustainability practices.

    Integration of Nutrition and Wellness:

  • I prioritize the nutritional benefits of the foods I prepare and aim to promote health and wellness through my meals.

  • I focus on anti-inflammatory ingredients and other health-promoting components.

    Mindful Cooking Practices:

  • I approach cooking as a mindful, intentional act, with an emphasis on love, kindness, and respect in the cooking process.

  • Meals are an opportunity for connection and awareness, whether with oneself, others, or nature.

Where I Work:

  • Wellness retreats

  • Private homes or as personal chef

  • Consulting at health-focused restaurants

  • Cooking workshops and classes

  • Collaborations with nutritionists, dietitians, and wellness coaches
