Wellness Retreat Chef
As a dedicated plant-based chef, I bring many years of experience crafting vibrant, vegetable-focused cuisine designed to nourish the body, inspire the mind, and support the transformative energy of retreats.
Rooted in a deep understanding of holistic living - both as a yogi, and holistic chef - I view food not just as sustenance, but as a key pillar of the retreat journey. In fact, just after the wellness sessions, like yoga, meditation, and healing workshops, the meals often become the most memorable part of a retreat. They create a natural rhythm to the day, bring everyone together in a shared space, and leave lasting impressions through the joy of connection and nourishment.
