Hello and happy solstice and holidays to all!
I have decided to explore Costa Rica to start the new year. As always, I am passionate about my work and hope to create some healthy dishes while I'm down there....in preparation for the upcoming cookbook! If you're interested in having me come to your retreat, resort or eco-lodge than book with me quickly, I'm already trying to coordinate dates while I'm there.
Don't miss out on this amazing opportunity to have a Registered Nutritionist and Whole Foods Chef come on-site and design a signature dish, plus wellness menu and more! Since I'm there, you save on airfare costs just because I'd love to explore a resort or lodge while I'm there, maybe we can also negotiate a work exchange...but there would have to be lots of yoga ;)
Find out why you should learn to eat healthier and nourish your guests.....learn more about me below.
