Culinary Medicina
holistic COOKING
The body needs to be supported and nourished, not controlled or fixed. Just as medicine can influence our bodies, the nutrients in our diets have the power to nourish and heal. This perspective promotes a mindful approach to eating, highlighting the importance of choosing whole, nutrient-dense foods that provide essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. By recognizing the connection between what we eat and our overall health, the "food as medicine" philosophy empowers us to make informed nutritional choices that support our vitality and balance - leaving behind restrictive diets, and rigid or passive methods of approaching food.
The meals I create are plant-forward, clean, nutrient-dense, and healing. Menus can accommodate your preferences and/or dietary needs:
Vegan - Raw - Vegetarian - Gluten-Free
One of the things I love most about cooking for retreats is the potent power held within its safe container. While retreat attendees seek deep self-connection and healing, I extend this by crafting a culinary journey that supports them in connecting to themselves through their sense of smell, sight, touch, taste, and sound. When food is treated as medicine, prepared and presented with intention, thoughtfulness, and love, it has the ability to nourish the body and the soul - fostering a deeper connection to the flavors, the moment, and the shared experience of breaking bread with fellow seekers.
