My expertise is in anti-inflammatory cuisine, so gluten-free, dairy-free and sugar-free recipes that promote longevity, increase energy and fuel health goals. I revere the divine intelligence and design of our bodies and believe it's an act of spiritual respect to feed ourselves in alignment with what our bodies need so we can live life to the fullest. BACKGROUND - I've eaten my way through nearly 24 countries to extend a food education that started when I was very young. I've always loved what food is, what it creates and the bonds it sustains. I'm also an author, storyteller, copywriter, photography and stylist who hosts monthly dinner clubs and styling services. As an entrepreneur, I've learned to run teams, stay organized, use my intuition to the max and create nourishing experiences for all kinds of people. For years, I've put on dinner events with groups ranging from 2-125. I do everything from ideation to research, menu design to sourcing, food prep to styling, cooking to cleaning.
