My Background

​

Before becoming a Food Mindset Coach, I spent over 15 years as a private holistic chef in Los Angeles, working with clients including Lady Gaga, Sir Elton John, Emily Deschanel, and Zooey Deschanel.

My culinary background gave me an appreciation for the power of personalized food programs and the importance of making nourishing meals both practical and enjoyable.

My own experience with chronic illness deepened that understanding and inspired me to look beyond the plate. I came to see the kitchen as a place where we can support our well-being, develop new habits, and restore our relationship with food.

Today, I bring these experiences together to help clients build a food routine that supports their individual needs, preferences, and goals.

​​

A Different Approach to Food

​

In my practice, I see people struggling with food not necessarily because they enjoy it too much, but because they don't enjoy it enough.

When eating becomes another task to manage, another set of rules to follow, or another source of stress, we can lose the pleasure of nourishing ourselves.

Through mindset coaching we'll explore the stressors, triggers, and long-held beliefs that may influence your eating habits. Together we'll work toward a greater awareness, consistency, and a calmer relationship with food.

As your coach, I'll help you create realistic routines, explore easy recipes and menus, and find more pleasure in preparing and enjoying real food — from nourishing proteins and beneficial fats to seasonal fruits and vegetables.

When we begin to recognize how we truly want to feel, especially after eating, our food choices start to change.

​

The goal is to make cooking and eating a more enjoyable, nourishing experience, whatever your eating style or personal goals.

 

Personalized Support for Your Lifestyle

​

No two people have the same needs, schedule, or relationship with food. That's why I work collaboratively with clients and, when appropriate, their healthcare practitioners and doctors.

My experience includes working with a variety of food protocols and dietary needs, including the autoimmune protocol (AIP), SIBO, GERD, sugar-related eating challenges, and elimination-based or phased eating plans.

 

Depending on your needs, our work may include:

​

• Food mindset coaching to explore habits, stressors, and triggers.

• Personalized meal planning to make everyday food choices easier and more consistent.

• Kitchen organization and food shopping to bring more ease and flow to your week.

• Chef or meal delivery coordination, when additional support would be helpful.

 

My role is to help you turn your intentions into a practical, sustainable relationship with food. Where a medical condition or a therapeutic eating plan is involved, I encourage collaboration with your qualified healthcare team.

 

Mindful Meal Planning

​

For those who want to cook more often but aren't sure where to begin, I created Mindful Meal Planning, the first in a series of inspirational, self-paced classes.

 

This course helps you approach personal meal planning, mindful eating, and food shopping with greater confidence and ease. It's designed to help you create a kitchen that works for you, so preparing nourishing meals can become a more natural part of everyday life.

 

Because great health habits often begin with what happens in our own kitchens.

 

30, 60, and 90-day coaching programs are available.
