For as long as I can remember, I have been obsessed with food and cooking. 
I was a chubby, overweight kid that struggled mightily with my body image. We ate a lot of good food in our daily rituals, but we also ate a lot of processed pseudo-food. Sugar cereals, soda, gatorade and fast food were normal. Something clicked around the age 14. I wanted better. I wanted to be strong and healthy. I knew food was a big part of it.  

For the last 25 years, I’ve read the literature, rode the waves of dietary advice from the so-called experts, that became counter intuitive years later,  and have arrived at my core understanding of the  foundations of a healthy relationship with food. 

I’m here to transfer my skills and knowledge to you so you can take it and run with it. 

Though I have my personal approach to specifics, which I share in my work with you, my approach helps you regardless of your specific needs. It’s about building a foundation.  Ultimately, the focus will be simply, real food. But there is a lot to learn as to what should be considered real food, while learning about how to best approach ingredients to optimize nutrition, minimize toxicity, all while maximizing taste and flavor.  In the end there is one key ingredient that I insist on adding more and more of, and that is breath.

Let’s breathe through this together and let’s have fun while doing it. 

I believe our natural state is that of vibrant health, connection, and presence. I believe we are good at heart.  I believe we are peaceful, loving and collaborative by nature.  The way we modern humans are living though, is testing us to the limits. We aren’t designed to live this way full of stress, distraction, fatigue and disease. I believe we can reclaim our natural state and still exist in our modern context. I also believe it is necessary we do this work, so we can emerge from our current status quo and step into a completely different paradigm. A paradigm that reminds us of how to connect to ourselves, to each other, and to the magic that is life.
