Over a decade ago, at 25, I went through a health challenge that changed everything. After battling late-stage Lyme disease and the effects of intense treatment, I was left with chronic fatigue, food intolerances, and a weakened immune system. Struggling to find food that was both healing and satisfying, I began experimenting in my own kitchen. I wanted meals that were nourishing but also full of flavour and joy - not just healthy. 

That’s when everything shifted. I discovered how much I loved cooking and how powerful food could be.

​

What started as a personal journey quickly became a passion and perhaps even more quickly, a successful career. Today, I’m a professional chef, recipe developer, and plant-based hospitality consultant. My path into the kitchen wasn’t traditional, but it’s been incredibly rewarding. I’ve built a life doing what I love: creating food that supports well-being and tastes amazing.
