Mama.
Health Chef.
Nutrition Practitioner.
I was raised in a family where food meant gathering, togetherness and sharing delicious meals. Growing up, dad was always chopping, seasoning or preparing. Mom satisfied my mind and palate with techniques and fun ideas in the kitchen. I have a passion for flavor, texture, color and simplicity. I believe there’s a romantic relationship between food and it’s source - where it came from, who grew it, the health of the soil, and ultimately its ability to give us life and sustained energy.
I traveled abroad for two years learning about organic farming, permaculture and how to live off the grid. Those years gave me inspiration and insight into my personal health and wellbeing. It paved the way for where I am today.
During that time I struggled terribly with cystic acne. I dove deeper into nutrition to continue learning the effects food has on the skin. Through the voyage of endless experiments, food eliminations and hours of study I’ve come to learn that the health of the skin is directly related to the health of the gut. This amplified my love for whole foods and their innate power to help heal the body.
My food journey led me to study Nutrition and Culinary Arts at the South West Institute of Healing Arts, in Phoenix, AZ.
I believe food is medicine and it has the capacity to transform the body and mind.
My family and I live in NYC. I work as a Personal Health Chef, Nutrition Specialist and Recipe Developer. We also live part-time on our organic farm in upstate New York.
Over the past 7 years I have teamed up with some of the best yoga instructors and meditation practitioners, together we co-host Yoga x Culinary Wellness Retreats. Add your email to stay in the loop of all events!
My newest Back to Basics course starts March 6th!

I look forward to connecting.
In love and health,
Jess
