Plant based personal chef on the east end of Long Island. Meal prep, cooking classes, retreats. I am so grateful to be on this journey.

I am a professionally trained, plant based chef with a passion for bringing healthier food into every home. I'm a mom who has raised three children in a busy household ... I'm an adult daughter who has cared for elderly parents. I know firsthand the challenges of juggling multiple responsibilities and living a healthy lifestyle! Over the past twenty years, my mission has been to inspire people to create life lasting positive change in their lives. I have worn many hats in the wellness arena, all of which have served as stepping stones on my own evolutionary path. I'm ever evolving...ever searching for my zen...ever reinventing myself from within. My private chef clients have ranged from those healing from late stage cancer; to yoga teacher trainees; international celebrities; and everyday folk hosting dinner parties. I have taught yoga to inner city kids in Harlem; the ultra rich of the Hamptons; young cancer survivors at an adventure retreat; and local moms at my hometown gym and yoga studio. I have hosted an array of healthy cooking classes for children and adults alike; taught a culinary bootcamp for cancer survivors; and given lectures for people with Multiple Sclerosis about the healing properties of essential oils. One constant has remained throughout ... I find JOY sharing what I love with others ... and that shines through in all of the work that I do.

Brooklyn vibes with part of the tribe before Helena departs for Dallas ! (Evan & Erica, you were so missed !!)

What an epic e-bike ride over the Williamsburg Bridge and around lower Manhattan with the best local Brooklyn tour guide ever .jones

Moments spent with my adult children are so precious to me. As they grow up and scatter around the country, it becomes increasingly challenging for all of us to be together at the same time. 😔

I support and encourage them all to spread their wings and fly ! To go explore this amazing world and fully embrace what it has to offer. I’m so excited to see the kids all launching off into their own direction … but of course it’s bittersweet.

I embrace the moments.
I am so very grateful and know how blessed I am 🙏

A quick trip home for the holidays (with more photos of Shadow than my kids!) Despite my intentions, not a single photo from Xmas Eve 🎄with all of the kids … but the laughter is still echoing in my ears! I was staying present and enjoying every moment of it. 😃 So I’ll take the laughter as this year’s memory.

I’m blessed and so grateful to have my kids (happy & healthy) in my life. I miss my brother & parents & friends I’ve lost along the way .. but know their love surrounds me and lifts me up when I’m feeling down.

Holidays can be tough. So much expectation and pressure to be the perfect family and have the perfect life. So much pain for those who have lost a loved one.

I’ve spent many a holiday completely depressed .. feeling like I’ve failed in this life. (And this was when I had the picture perfect life from the outside looking in )

“Comparison is the thief of Joy”
Staying present .. the antidote.

I’ll admit, I still wish I had the wall worthy portrait of all the kids from this holiday … but I have (an absolutely terrible ) photo from last year of them all slumped on the couch in sweats that I am going to blow up and frame as a reminder for next time to take a freakin picture !!! 😂

I’m enjoying the (very cold 🥶) beaches here — none compare elsewhere — but looking forward to getting back to my new norm, sunny South Florida, to continue writing the next chapter of my life…. (To be continued )

Merry Christmas 🎄
Happy Holidays !

Peace & Love to all 🙏

Precious time with forever friends ! Life is busy and it’s often a logistical challenge to make these get togethers happen, but it’s always worth it ! 😀🙏❤️

What a special Mother’s Day to have all of these kiddos together ! 🙏❤️🌴🌹

Garden fresh 🪴 !! I joke that this garden of mine is one big expensive salad 😂 but I couldn’t be happier ... what is better than being able to walk outside and pick home grown, organic cucumbers, kale, Swiss chard, celery, parsley, basil and mint and throw them all into my juicer for my morning vitality elixir ???

The only thing better would be if I had my own farmer doing it for me ! 🤣

ELECTROLYTE REPLENISHER

After sweating buckets at hot yoga (on an already hot & humid day), it’s super important to hydrate and replenish electrolytes.

This is my summer go-to drink for doing just that ... it’s SO tasty that I just had to share it with you !

(Measurements are approximate ... I just throw it all into my Vitamix!)

ELECTROLYTE REPLENISHER
2 cups watermelon (frozen)
1 cucumber (seeds removed, skin on)
3/4-1 cup coconut water **just enough liquid so it blends
1/2 inch fresh ginger
1/2 fresh lime (outer peel removed)
6-8 fresh mint leaves

Blend and enjoy ! It makes about a quart ... and my body sucks the whole quart down when I am feeling dehydrated.

Stay healthy !

Private chef flashbacks 🧑‍🍳... as the busy summer season lurks ahead, I can’t help but think back to seasons gone by !

2014 marked the beginning of this crazy culinary journey of mine. It was a second (or 3rd ?? 🤔 ) career ... and what a beginning it was !! 😂

(assuming the NDA no longer matters)

These pictures crack me up ! How many times did I pretend these 2 little doggies weren’t missing .:: or lounging on the silver platters we served the owners on ... or that my “staff” were actually trained professionals ! 🤣🤣🤣

Oh my. I could write a book on the behind the scenes life of a private chef in the Hamptons ... it would be quite entertaining 👨‍🍳

Here’s to summer 2023 being just as fun and entertaining as summers gone by !!

RETREATS !! My very favorite way to bring my love of health supportive cooking to people who are truly committed to improving their lives.

April 28-30th I will be back for another transformational retreat with

Seven on Shelter is such a special place ... and Celine and Sebastian create an incredibly supportive and safe space for guests to fully express themselves and heal.

I can’t wait to be back on Shelter Island, doing my part to nurture and support our guests as they dive deep into yoga, mindfulness and breath work.

Sound has helped me navigate my way through grief, sadness and depression in ways other modalities have fallen short.

I came across sound healing at a time I needed it most in my own life. The universe handed me a life line .:: and I grabbed it and held on tight.

Over the course of these past 3 years, I kept it mostly to myself. It was for my own healing.

Now, I am sharing it with others. It’s hard to put into words what happens when you allow yourself to let go and just allow the healing resonance of sound to flow through your body ... and touch your soul.

It’s best to be experienced rather than me trying to describe it.

Combine sound with hands on reiki and guided meditation led by ... plus a customized blend of essential oils applied topically ... I’m not sure it gets any better than that ! 😊

Come join us this Thursday 6pm to try it out for yourself

Our first workshop collaboration, Expanding Your Spiritual Toolbox was a resounding success !

We experienced guided meditation, reiki, essential oils, gentle yoga, and a 25 minute Savasana with the angelic sounds of the crystal alchemy singing bowls. The time flew by !

Integrating these practices into your daily life allows you to be better equipped to handle whatever stress life throws your way. You react differently to outside stressors when you have the right tools in your toolbox :)

I can’t wait for our next workshop ! I had so much fun 😀

Thank you for providing such a beautiful space for us to practice. And of course thank you Jen Kessenich for your amazing vision and gentle guidance and support. 🙏

Expand your spiritual toolbox so you are better equipped to handle the ongoing challenges life throws your way.

I invite you to join reiki master and meditation teacher (whom I have known since middle school !) and myself on December 13th from 6-8pm for a transformational workshop !

You will experience a gentle yoga flow .. with hands on reiki and essential oils .. breath work and meditation .. and you will learn self healing techniques and practices to take home with you. These practices to put in your spiritual toolbox can help to bring you back to that place of peace and centered well being whenever life just seems to be too much to take.

The 20 minute Savasana at the end of our workshop with the deeply healing sounds of the crystal alchemy singing bowls I brought home from Arizona supersede all of the above (in my humble opinion ! 😂) you just lay back and receive all their amazing healing benefits. Totally passive healing 🤣

I hope you will join us on our first joint workshop! Jenn is super talented (as am I) ... we bring a lifetime of experience to our work and we are equally passionate about helping people heal from deeply stored trauma ... which we have both experienced and have / are in the process of healing from.

The workshop is filling up fast ! So please register if you’d like to be there.

Retreats ... I love to go on them as much as I love to facilitate them!

Taking some time to fully immerse yourself in self care .. even for just a few days .. has a tremendous impact on your overall well being. I know it’s helped me so many times on pretty deep levels over the past couple of decades.

If I could permanently be on a retreat I’d be quite content ! 😂

But since that is not my current reality, I balance between being a facilitator and a participant.

Seven on Shelter is a hidden gem ! It’s a B&B on Shelter Island owned by an ex art dealer (omg the art! It’s like walking through a museum!)

This is Beth, the owner, in the photo with me. I recently had the pleasure of cooking on a corporate retreat for Deb Boulanger and her clients. So much fun!

I’m looking forward to the next two retreats we have booked ... Oct 20-23rd with tennis superstar Kiki Hajek and Nov 4-6th with yogi Celine Antoine.

I hope to see some of you there !
