By the time I was 20, I made another life-changing decision: I chose to go vegan. At the time, it was a decision I made to align with my newest value I had learned after getting fired for making my boss cry: Compassion.

Learning to earn others cooperation rather than dominating their will with my own felt right for me spiritually. My softness came back. I started to see plant and human auras, especially when people spoke passionately. Being vulnerable and expressive unlocked a superpower quality greater than any I had ever pulled from fire, ambition, or force: grace, calm, joy, and an unf***withable presence of Spirit.

This choice wasn’t always easy, especially in the culinary world! I often asked myself if this was a sustainable lifestyle, if I would ever be worthy of calling myself a chef again. The task at hand was for me to integrate my most sensitive side with my otherwise gritty, grueling, and unforgiving industry. I trudged on.

The spectrum of my human experience widened like the heart of a rose mid-summer; I was able to accomplish more, and feel more. It was daunting, but magical and raw. It shaped my philosophy: food is not just about what you put in your mouth! Food is what thoughts you tend in your mind’s garden, what beliefs you feed your soul, what aspects of yourself you acknowledge and nourish…it’s about cultivating a reverence and gratitude for being ALIVE!

When I became the first vegan chef to compete on Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen, it wasn’t just a professional milestone for me...it was confirmation and deeply personal. I was standing in a space that didn’t embrace plant-based cooking, and I was showing the world that compassion and kindness can go hand in hand with excellence.

The Turning Point

My spiritual disciplines (being a disciple to my own soul) has taken me places I never imagined. I’ve consulted restaurants in Southern California, hosted collaborative, upscale dinner events throughout England, opened and operated fine dining concepts in Saudi Arabia, created relationships between organic farmers and local restaurants in Mexico, and hosted an unforgettable, transformative retreat for 12 people in Netherlands.

Through these experiences, I've learned food was always intended to be a tool for universal healing. It's meant to build bridges between cultures, dissolve trauma in the body,  and bring people back to their most loving, higher selves.

It's meant to help us foster the relationship between brain and soul.

Along the way, I realized my true calling isn't just to feed people! It's to take them on this journey with me. I want to show others how to reclaim their time, intuitive energy, and unique soul purpose…starting with what goes on your plate.

My Journey Around the World

"This journey isn’t just about food; it’s about what you feed your soul, what aspects of yourself you acknowledge and nourish…having reverence and gratitude for LIFE."

I believe that food is just the beginning. It’s a doorway to something much bigger: balance, freedom, a deep sense of community, and alignment with your soul's guidance.

I'm almost positive your soul is waiting for you to square up and do the secret handshake y'all have together. You just have to find the flow of it first! It's already coded into your body, somewhere.

Through my programs, I’ve had the honor of helping high-achieving women take back control of their lives. I’ve seen women move from exhaustion to energy, from overwhelm or even deep-seated anger & resentment to peace, and from burnout to intentional living.

My programs are NOT about perfection, but creating a willingness to adopt systems that nourish what's most important: YOU. So you can finally have the time & space to soar.

WHY I DO WHAT I DO

These are the principles that guide my work and lie at the foundation of everything I create.

What I Stand For

Freedom: Living on my terms, unburdened by overwhelm, shame, and burnout.

Sincerity: Empowering myself to move, think, question, consume and be deliberate.

Kindness: Taking care of myself and the world around me in ways that are intentional, impactful, and felt by others.

Courage: Having the bravery to step outside of what’s expected to create a life that aligns with my deepest truth.

The lessons I’ve learned through my journey have shaped my core values:

The Journey Ahead

My journey has taught me that it doesn’t matter where you start.
What matters most is taking care of yourself and resourcing yourself with your own kindness and presence. When you have these. you can always find a deeper will to surrender, speak, and act in accordance with your authentic self.

Whether you’re here to simplify mealtime, up your nutrition, find more balance, or start doing something deeply fulfilling ,I want you to know this: change is possible. It starts with small, intentional steps, and it can EASILY lead you to a life you sincerely love and are proud of.

This is why I do what I do. This is WHY I’ve created programs like Dinner Dominatrix and SINCERE Strength. They’re here to greet your wounds with kisses and help you alchemize raw pain, untapped power, and your desire for pleasure into a magical, sustainable life.

Thank you for being here. Let’s do this together.
