The Healthy Home Chef – The Healthy Home Chef

As a trained international chef, educator, and cookbook author from Ojai, California, I feel incredibly fortunate to have built a career around my passions. Beyond cooking, I’m a surfer, artist, and musician, blessed to lead Native American ceremonies with the permission of my elder.

Inspired by my family’s love for growing and cooking food, my journey as a chef began at a young age. I spent over four years as a private chef for Will Smith and have cooked for retreats, health brands, and restaurants worldwide.

I currently create content and courses that support people to reconnect with food, learn to cook mindfully, and build traditions that nourish future generations.
