To me food is an art medium, and cooking is my craft. Creating beautiful, balanced meals is not only one of my favorite modes of expression, it’s my go-to place to start for achieving the wellness I desire for myself, my family and my clients. Food is celebratory, grounding, uplifting, nourishing. It’s energy, clarity, support and pleasure. Food is a way to pause, reflect, appreciate and connect with the self and others. It’s the universal language that encompasses so many things and I love to honor and celebrate all of them!

Background: I’m a holistic nutritionist, wellness + fitness practitioner, trained in Ayurveda, meditation, reiki and yoga.

Philosophy: An adventurous chef, organic gardener, food systems advocate, and teacher, I love to create, write, move my body, research, converse, and find moments to celebrate life’s joys.

I love to host epic meals with friends and family, and play in nature amongst the water and trees. Food + nature connection are a constant thread in my life, offering a center around which I move and grow.

I bring together my unique background + intuition to create one of a kind meals for my clients at private retreats and events.

Lineage: I’m Inupiaq, my family from Northern Alaska, and I connect deeply with my indigenous roots. I honor the shamanism and traditions of my ancestors as I feel those rhythms and their magic innately in myself. I call on this energy in my life and my work.

Astrology: I’m a Capricorn Sun (grounded + ambitious) a Scorpio Rising (mystic + intuitive) a Libra Moon with a stellium in Libra (creative + connected + counseling aka all about relationships!) and an Aquarius Venus and Mercury (expansive ideas + conversations).

I’m married, and am — most importantly — a mama of 2 awesome boys, ages 10 + 11. They are my love lights and my greatest purpose. We’re an ADHD family and we celebrate the neurospiciness in ourselves and others. We stand for authentic expression + inclusivity.
