Yrs Experience

I have always been passionate about cooking and mainly creating desserts! I love a healthy brunch and dessert spread but am always down for expanding my cooking horizons and learning many new things. Nourishing people is a passion for me and creating an experience that heightens all senses is one of my deepest forms of service. I used to live in Costa Rica where I co-owned a dessert company and cheffed many retreats. Living in Squamish I’ve been opening the doors of being a chef for retreats again working in the Sunshine Coast. As a certified health coach I also gave experience with going to peoples homes and supporting teaching how to create healthy and delicious food. I LOVE nut butter and a good pastry shop.. a farmers market is my love language and desserts are a good group. Having fun and enjoying food is a part of this life that I am on a mission to support reorienting this relationship with food and our bodies. I believe i Whole Foods and I believe in donuts. The ways we are in relationship to it all is the foundation in how we get to assimilate and experience the nourishment and soul nourishment of it all!

I am trained as a plant focused chef through Matthew Kenney Institute and am a certified Health Coach through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. I have a back ground of working as a chef on multiple retreats throughout Costa Rica and some in the states as well as near home on the Sunshine Coast. I used to own a raw dessert company, Healthy Sin, in Costa Rica where we fulfilled many orders through out the country and created custom desserts for restaurants. I love creating in the kitchen and have a passion for utilizing whole foods and sustainable products. Playing and dancing in the kitchen is a must!

Nanny support to a friend
We traveled abroad together to Portugal and Spain. She is Australian so we met there. Her partner was supporting mine on a retreat so in that time I supported her and her 15 month old with various tasks from monitoring nap time, making food, playing with her son, watching him when she went out, helping her take some time when it was bed time so she could tend to herself and I held space for her son while he let out some cries and supporting organizing everything during our travel days.
