I am from my soul a nurturer who believes in the magic of Culinary Healing.  Beyond any doubt this is my driving force behind my Edible Journey Visions.

 

My fascination with food, and the impact what you eat has on your body began almost 30 years ago when I landed a job at a natural foods store, and lost weight as I began experimenting and cooking with the foods we stocked.

Shifting my eating style rewarded me with more energy, glowing skin and hair, better sleep and reduced so many symptoms of dis-ease I had been experiencing,  not even realizing they weren't "normal".

 I felt amazing, I glowed and it showed!

 

My love for creating vibrant healing dishes blossomed - into a desire to feed others with the same passion - I call it "LOVE" but it goes deeper to connect you to your energy and your spirit.

I became a professional Chef and throughout my 25 year career felt compelled to use food to create energy and nourish your body so it could heal itself.   I wanted my eaters to feel the connections, the balance, the way it touched your mood, your thoughts, the way it grounded them or helped them soar.   I developed a unique style combining living healing foods

with the presentation and shine of a fine dining meal. 

It became my purpose to inspire others - to spread the "ripple effect" and living aligned with what truly feeds you - not just your body in a health sense, but also your inspirations, your goals and your purpose. 

​No one can thrive

when they are just trying to survive. 

 

The toxins in your life can hurt you

as much as the toxins in your food.    

When you feed yourself to nurture yourself - whether you eat it, breathe it, absorb it,

read it, hear it, see it, feel it -

it will optimize and heal you. 

Just as the opposite is true - stress, abuse, diet, environment, lack of love, sleep, sun etc without a doubt will make you sick. 

Most people carry around some effects of this already - sadly affecting more children these days than ever before, including my own son - until I made the connections.

I am a mom to two boys, now teenagers and adamantly believe in the power of food when it comes to managing now common behavioral and health issues.  Working with my older son to overcome his ADHD grew into a passion for helping other kids and families with similar challenges.

I spent 5 years teaching cooking classes for children inspiring them to love the process of cooking and nourishing their bodies.  This has continued into helping clients develop meal plans and strategies to adapt to food allergies (often the root of behavioral issues specifically in children)!

 

I complement my culinary passions with a strong connection to gardening.   Ever expanding my oasis to include surprising heirloom varieties of vegetables in vibrant colors, herbs, edible flowers and fruits.  I infuse these wonders into my culinary healing philosophies and teachings.

My garden will also provide the inspiration and healing herbs for a skin and body care line I have been cultivating called

"Glow Skinfood"!

 

I have completed several training courses with various leaders in the areas of life transformations and personal breakthroughs.  My in depth understanding of emotional blocks, limiting beliefs, and how to develop practical plans to follow your heart and achieve your true goals comes not only through education but from aligning my own life through these practices.  Nothing makes me happier than supporting my clients through their own positive changes and seeing them move forward into their dream lives.
