My Services.
I prepare all therapeutic gourmet meals from scratch using the highest quality ingredients and customize your gourmet meals to fit any special diet including, but not limited to Paleo, Gluten Free, Keto, Vegetarian, Vegan, Raw & Diabetic. Accommodating for any food allergies and sensitivities is a top priority! Healthy prepared meals that meet any dietary restrictions cost nothing extra.
Here is what you can expect from my weekly gourmet meal preparations
I will email you customized menu options to select from, which will allow me to plan, shop, prep, cook and deliver your delicious meals to your home. All items will be clearly labeled for you to easily reheat and enjoy. Each client is at liberty to decide how many meals and portions they need per week. I create and customize menus to fit each client’s specific preferences and dietary needs. Working directly with each client to tailor my services to your budget ultimately gives you a lot of control over what my weekly gourmet meal prep services cost.
If you prefer to feel empowered by preparing your easy-to-prepare customized meals on your own, then I will joyfully email your tailored meal plan to you on an as needed basis! This is what most of my clients opt for since it keeps their costs down considerably (don’t have to pay me to shop, prep, cook and deliver), and I can only cook for clients who are near me at any given moment throughout the year. I do joyfully travel at times to cook for clients, and summers are when I have the most flexibility to do so. I look forward to being a guiding light in your life that uplifts, supports and inspires you to restore your well-being one bite at a time!
Customized Meal Service & Meal Plans
Restorative & Healing Protocols
Each plan is customized to meet your specific health and wellness needs with the ultimate goal of restoring your optimal body, mind and spirit health so you can be the person you were born to be. We begin with a full spectrum assessment of your imbalances and concerns, which is our compass, and begin to build a gentle, yet powerful cleansing and healing program that will bring your entire self back into alignment. This is a potent combination of healing foods and beverages, nature therapy, mindfulness and breathing exercises, reprogramming the subconscious mind and a focus on self-care and self-love practices that will nourish and nurture you back to wholeness. With a generous and compassionate heart I guide, educate and support you on this deeply healing and restorative path. It truly is my honor and delight to hold your hand and heart in this empowering journey!
Educational & Empowerment
Classes & Workshops
Have you found yourself searching for the best and most recent nutritional advice and the sheer number of opinions and philosophies are staggering and mind-boggling? Not certain where to begin, let alone where to end up? I can empathize, as I was also searching and applying a multitude of healing modalities for many years! Then, when I was least expecting it, a friend handed me a book, which inspired and empowered me, while also changed my perspective on holistic nutrition. I began applying several new practices daily and began to witness my health being restored at a rapid rate. I had the good fortune of being connected with a restorative physician who guided and mentored me for several years until I felt confident enough to begin teaching others who are also searching for solutions.
Teaching is my greatest passion, because it is the highest form of empowerment…. knowledge is power! I teach one-on-one, as well as small and large groups of folks about a wide variety of health topics, from safely and gently removing heavy metals that are lodged in your organs, to gently cleansing and healing your amazing liver who is responsible for over 2,000 daily functions and is connected to many modern day mystery health issues. All of my classes and workshops come with healing foods demonstrations, tastings, as well as the healing recipes for you to take home and easily whip up in less than 10 minutes! I am honored and delighted to be your guide on your path to vibrant health.
Cooking Classes and Demonstrations
Each cooking lesson is tailored to the client’s unique and specific desires. This customized service includes planning, shopping, cooking and clean up. Pricing will depend on the time used and the cost of your ingredients at the grocery store and/or farmer’s market.
Want to share this experience with friends or family? Group lessons are a fun way to learn how to prepare and cook with others!
After we are finished whipping up your gourmet creations, you have the added benefit of enjoying a delicious meal that you helped create. What an empowering and fulfilling experience!
I am passionate when it comes to working with children and empowering them to feel confident and excited to get into the kitchen. My radiant daughter, Lili, loves assisting me, as well as coming up with her own delicious creations! I offer food preparation and cooking classes specially geared for children, one-on-one and in small groups. They are a huge hit for birthdays, celebrations and pure FUN!
Gift cards are available for purchase.
Pantry and Kitchen Consultations
I will come to your home and help you to declutter and optimize your pantry and fridge ingredients which will enable you to choose from a variety of delicious and healthy options, thereby leading to greater energy, mental clarity, reduced stress levels and vibrant wellness. This customized process will support you in your ultimate nutrition goals, while taking all of the guess work out of it!
How do we achieve this? By replacing the items that no longer serve you with ones that increase your vitality and wellness. This is a fun and empowering process that will allow you to reach new heights and ultimately move you from a place of surviving to a place of thriving!
I will joyfully guide you step by step to select these ingredients based on your own personal needs and goals.
