- mindful eating moves you closer to your best self -
It is my passion to empower and support you to eat well. Food is VERY personal. Eating more raw, plant-based foods has so many benefits- and is more than just food. It is making the connection to yourself and nourishing your body in all ways – including the mind and spirit. It is honoring yourself and leaning towards being the best you... while enjoying delicious cuisine!

eat more plant food
Eating plant-based is consuming whole, organic, unprocessed foods that consists of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and legumes, sprouts and even seaweed– (sans any animal products-meat, chicken, fish, eggs, dairy products as well as any refined foods).

Avoid: Pesticides, chemical fertilizers, chemical food additives, trans fats, GMO’s (genetically modified foods) and MSG (Monosodium Glutamate).
All foods (including fruits, vegetables and even leafy greens) contain protein. Good sources: lentils & beans, quinoa (a complete protein–it has all 9 essential amino acids the body needs for growth & repair), avocado, nuts and seeds, hemp and chia, nut butters & tahini, nut milks, peas, spinach-kale-romaine, broccoli– and even cocoa has protein.
raw food
Raw food is food in its natural state- not heated above 115Ëš. Enzymes and vital nutrients start to be destroyed above that temperature– and enzymes are the catalyst to make everything function in the body. Enzymes in raw food are active and alive. Raw food provides the maximum amount of nutrition for your body. It has more nutrients, vitamins, minerals and fiber than cooked food and is digested easily and quickly. The body needs the vitamins, minerals, protein, oxygen and enzymes that whole, raw food provides. It strengthens the immune system and helps put our body in an alkaline state– in which it functions at its optimal state.
You will gain tremendous benefits by fueling your body with raw food - no matter what level you incorporate it into your lifestyle. It is the healthiest food imaginable!
