ayurvedic chef services
I have over a decade of professional experience as a chef, and have been applying Ayurvedic principles, incorporating Ayurvedic herbs and digestive spices to my kitchen creations since 2012. It has been an honor to lovingly prepare meals for newborn mamas, Olympians, celebrities, personal retreats, yoga trainings, and wonderful families.
I specialize in creating delicious, balanced vegetarian meals always infused with love, and tailored to the preferences of my clients.
The underlying intention within each meal is that it is enjoyed and easily digested, for a complete experience of nourishment for every cell in the body.

Though we live in a world of constant change, the foods and seasonings we choose to consume can have a direct balancing effect on our mental and physical states.
Ayurvedic cooking doesn't have to be limited to Indian cooking. Many different cuisines from around the world can be prepared according to Ayurvedic principles that promote health and well-being for ourselves and our loved ones.
