(2 I’ve been cooking for over 30 years—starting with meals for friends, family, and small community gatherings. From holiday dinners to weekend retreats, I’ve spent decades preparing fresh, homemade meals that bring people together.
Over the years, this passion became my professional calling. I spent over half a decade as Assistant Manager and Intuitive Chef at a holistic wellness center, where I co-created a full-service café menu, supported detox and healing protocols, and prepared everything from hot meals and smoothies to herbal tonics and sacred dishes for large groups.
I’ve cooked for countless retreats, led cooking classes, and designed custom menus for a wide range of clients—always focusing on high-quality, nutrient-dense ingredients that feel good in the body. My cooking reflects years of learning through hands-on experience, experimentation, and love. I’m not a classically trained chef—I’m someone who has spent a lifetime in the kitchen, refining my craft, developing deep nutritional wisdom, and learning how to cook with both heart and skill.
I specialize in plant-based and clean cooking, but I respect all dietary choices and work joyfully with everything from vegan to paleo to ancestral diets. Upon request, I can prepare high-quality meats, eggs, dairy, and fish—with care and integrity.
When I cook for your event, I’m not just feeding people—I’m helping create an environment where everyone feels supported, cared for, and more able to drop into the experience. My food is a form of medicine, and the meals I create are designed to increase not only your guests’ nourishment—but also the success of your retreat. Delicious food makes people want to return.
