Intuitive & Mindful Food
My cooking to inspire everyone to prepare food in a fun and creative way.As an intuitive cook with Ayurveda background, vibrant spices and carefully chosen ingredients are as important to me as your own needs. Eating is not just about nourishment, it's our body and brain's fuel, connected to our emotions and health.
I love to bring more mindfulness and joy into your eating habits and the food you prepare for yourself and your loved ones.
There are many ways to come together,
but I always prefer it when good food is involved!
I take great pleasure in designing personalized menus that reflect your unique tastes and dietary requirements. Whether your needs are vegan, vegetarian, keto or other specific dietary requirements. I believe that everyone deserves to have their needs met. I do not believe in diet labels, I believe we are all unique in the way we should eat and prepare meals. I want to inspire your cooking and help you to have fun in your kitchen.
Discover the art of mindful eating and cooking through one-on-one talks that focus on your unique habits and preferences. Together, we’ll explore gentle nutrition principles, Ayurveda, and my personal experiences to help you cultivate a healthier relationship with food. Learn new tricks to make meal preparation enjoyable and intuitive, fostering a deeper connection to what you eat. Join me on this journey towards a more fulfilling and conscious way of nourishing yourself.
