Wellness Chef and Sensuality Coach for Women

I help women focus on self-love and sensuality through holistic nutrition, meditational cooking, and lifestyle transformations.

I am a certified holistic nutrition chef and sensuality coach, just for women. My story began 12 years ago working a high-stress designer job in the fashion industry in New York City, when I got extremely sick with a nickel poisoning for 7 months. After a long journey with doctors and rx drugs, I healed myself through food, cooking, and sensuality rituals and modalities to find my femininity again.

I then attended the Natural Gourmet Institute of Culinary Arts in New York City and became passionate about helping women heal and thrive through focusing on self-love and tapping into their sensuality using whole food education and holistic cooking. It’s all about shifting the mindset to view cooking as a sensual, healing ritual to nourish your mind, body, and soul.

I work 1:1 with amazing, powerful women who are seeking to feel authentic and confident in their health and sensual selves so they can thrive in every aspect of their lives.

I frequently attend chef wellness retreats around the country, women’s community events, and I love coaching women how to cook healthy and feel sexy for life.
