Food + Nourishment
In my work with food, my role is primarily to inspire and to share, allowing space for learning, self-reflection and integration that can lead to meaningful change and a deeper sense of connection.
Through food and nature-informed self-care, we find an opportunity to get to know ourselves more deeply. We begin to see how the choices we make shape the way we relate to others and experience our lives.
Ways to work with me
In my cooking workshops I aim to bring warmth and joy to the kitchen. As well as sharing delicious and nourishing recipes, I love helping people feel more relaxed around ingredients, encouraging their innate food artistry, and fostering appreciation for the immense beauty of the edible plants we get to enjoy.

In my one-to-one sessions, we take the time to go a little deeper. Together we explore a wider framework of self-care, collaboratively developing a personalised programme to support you on your wellbeing journey.

A little background
My own hands-on food education began in a humble East London home kitchen with my passionate and endlessly encouraging cake decorating teacher, Ruby. As well as teaching me how to make unimaginably intricate flowers out of sugar, she showed me the importance of light-heartedness and creative improvisation in the kitchen.
Fifteen years later, while I no longer make sugar flowers, I still adore the beauty of working with food and have come to deeply appreciate how much we can communicate through the ways choose to prepare and eat it. The kitchen mirrors back to us how creative, adaptable and nurturing we can be with ourselves and others. Perhaps most importantly, it offers us the opportunity to connect with our compassionate hearts through every chop and every bite.
Food is a meeting point for so many of my core beliefs and passions. I believe that everyone should have access to delicious, healthy and nourishing food. While I may not have the power to influence all of the larger systems involved, I am deeply committed to empowering others to develop a relationship with food and nourishment that is supportive, sustainable and joyful.
Each of us has an intuitive sense of what a compassionate approach to nourishment might be, yet how often do we take the time to truly reflect on this and bring our values into alignment with the way we are living? With a little contemplation, we can begin to make gentle shifts towards a way of eating that is satisfying, practical and infused with kindness.
I have trained in kitchens around the world and completed several years of formal study centred on plant-based eating and healing through food, including at the School of Natural Medicine in the UK. The holistic approach I bring to my workshops and one-to-one work draws on my training as a meditation teacher and Healing Diets coach, as well as my background in teaching and my experience as a community spaceholder.
Knowing that our understanding of food, and the attitude we cultivate around nourishment, can be of benefit to those around us, to our planet, and to all the wonderful creatures who share this earth with us, is deeply inspiring to me.
