About

I have always had a passion for all things Health and WellnessI
My pursuit began 

n my late twenties, when I attended La Varenne Culinary School in Paris, France. Upon my return, I opened In Good Taste ~ a cafe and catering company and cooking school focusing on healthy fresh food. For decades, I have enjoyed using my culinary background to teach children’s cooking classes as well as classes for adults. Good nutrition and health as an everyday way of life are incorporated in how and what I teach. In Good Taste took  on a different look during Covid  as I continued to offer prepared meals, special request orders, zoom cooking classes and more.

In the process of cooking and preparing, I share so much of myself ~ my love of my family, faith, and my desire to nurture and give.

For me, preparing food is a creative passion that enables me to give of myself with unconditional love and joy. There is love in the food I prepare. The kitchen is not just another room in my house. It is the heart of my home. It is the place from which love, concern, memories and more emerge.

As the years progressed I longed to marry my passion for good healthy food with overall health and wellness. I received my 200 and 500 YTT Yoga certifications, and a Meditation Certification and began to teach yoga and meditation.

The final and most fulfilling piece of the puzzle for me was my journey to Functional Medicine. After years of study and practice I became National Medical Board Certified as a Functional Medicine Health and Wellness Coach. Advanced training  in Gut Health and Hormonal Health have deepened my practice as gut health and hormonal health effect every single body function. 

In May of 2021, I graduated from The Functional Medicine Coaching academy. It is the only health coaching program designed to collaborate with The Institute for Functional Medicine. I offer my coaching services to help you create weekly sustainable goals in nutrition and diet as well as offer guidance in mindfulness and meditation.

I am so grateful that I am able to follow my passion and make a living from it. I LOVE cooking for and serving others… This makes my heart happy! 

Healthy Mind, Healthy Body and Healthy Spirit
