About

Joie de vivre isn't just about working out and counting carbs. I provide people and companies with recipes that cater to busy people with healthy food solutions that are catered to their personal health goals and lifestyle so they can reclaim their everyday.

I have been working in the food industry ever since I can remember and eventually my career as a local foods centered chef began to take shape. In 2012 I wanted to seriously tackle my depression and debated whether or not to try prescription medication as an aid. In the mean time, I was suffering from anaphylaxis to a variety of foods and needed to see an allergist. She told me I was intolerant to gluten, among other things. I rolled my eyes and thought ‘Great. Not only will this affect my career as a chef but I also don’t want it to affect other areas of my life where food is the focus.’

Despite that internal reaction, I still had an urge to follow her new protocol and did the elimination diet she suggested. After a difficult few months, not only did my allergies clear, but my depression lifted. From then, I decided to devote my career to empowering you and the way you look at food through my cookbooks private cooking classes, recipe development and videography and original TV programming.

I am a multifaceted online and TV cooking show recipe developer, host and producer focusing on simple, unique and from-scratch recipes inspired by my world travels and the needs of modern life. My personal chef business has supported many environmentally and health-conscious families, athletes and individuals with dietary restrictions.

Recently, I have shifted the scope of my menus and classes to have gut, nervous system and insulin sensitivity repair in mind. They are always gluten free and are anti-inflammatory. I often nerd out on nutrition research, books and podcasts and am up to date on all things functional medicine, keto, paleo & lectin free. What can I say, I majored in Environmental Science and Chemistry – I need an outlet!  

I’d love to work with you, so check out my services for more info.
