I bring decades of passion and expertise in wellness, crafting nourishing, vibrant food that surprises, delights, and supports retreat guests. Each menu I create is thoughtfully designed to align with the season, the venue’s atmosphere, and the retreat’s theme—making every dish not only delicious but also a feast for the eyes.
Beyond the kitchen, I love inviting guests to slow down and reconnect with their creativity through hands-on clay sessions. Whether shaping something from clay, savoring a beautifully prepared meal, or immersing in the retreat experience, I believe creativity has the power to nourish both body and soul.
When I’m not cooking or creating, I work with not-for-profits and social enterprises, focusing on entrepreneurship and education. While I love this work, it leaves my neurospicy brain (and hands!) craving hands-on projects that spark joy and inspiration.
I’m also passionate about teaching and sharing my skills. From clay play to wholefood kitchen workshops and thrifty creative projects, I find so much joy in helping others explore, create, and connect. I also love turning simple moments into something special—like painting playful abstract watercolours and then turning them into gift cards, and card decks and even wrapping paper.. You can find my latest creations in the shop.
"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen."
1 Peter 4:10-11
