CELEBRITY PRIVATE CHEF | CERTIFIED NUTRITION PRACTITIONER | AUTHOR |WELLNESS ADVOCATE
WHAT I DO: I am a Mama ( my biggest gig and most demanding client) Aside from that, I’ve been a Celebrity Private Chef, featured on Food Network, Bravo and HGTV, chef’d + coached for a laundry list of A-list clients in LA/NYC for over 14 years. I am also a Wellness Brand Consultant, Cookbook Author and CN-P Nutrition Practitioner .
MY FOOD PHILOSOPHY: I follow a modified Ancestral Based diet with a splash of Blue Zone protocols. Basically a flexitarian- Eating intuitively to fuel my body and thrive. I believe Plants are medicine, and protein is the building blocks of life. My ideal longevity plate would have a combo of : high quality protein ( gf beef or wild salmon) a perfectly roasted Japanese sweet potato , a small salad with arugula and fresh herbs, side of sauerkraut.
MY HEALING JOURNEY: I am a proud Solo Mama and have raised my daughter alone since she was 10 mos old. She has expanded my heart and healed child wounds in so many unthinkable ways.
I have overcome and managed some of my own health battles including anxiety/ panic disorder, breast implant illness, autoimmunity and toxic mold. All seemingly correlated in one way or another. But have been identified and managed through the implementation of specific nutrition plans based off functional labs and genetic testing. Along with a solid mindset and spiritual practice.
Healing journeys are far from linear and often complex. A multi pronged approach to thrive is the best approach.
RANDOM FACTS : I am a born and raised Cali Girl, I currently reside in Los Angeles with my little bestie Bella I love supporting women and fostering a high vibe community.
