I am an Ayurvedic chef, Ayurvedic health counselor and yoga teacher based in the Rivertowns of New York. I believe that making conscious changes to your daily practices and diet can bring you back into balance with your physical, mental and spiritual needs.

I have been an avid yogi since 2008 and completed 300 hours of yoga teacher training at Laughing Lotus in Manhattan, NY. A lifelong passion for food drew me towards Ayurveda, the sister science of yoga, and to pursue a Ayurvedic Nutrition and Culinary Certification at Bhagavat Life under the guidance of Divya Alter, author of What to Eat for How You Feel: The New Ayurvedic Kitchen and co-owner of Divya’s Kitchen, an Ayurvedic restaurant in Manhattan. 

After graduating, I became the Chef de Cuisine at the Assemblage, a conscious c-co-living and co-working space, where I developed seasonal Ayurvedic menus using natural, organic ingredients and educate the staff and co-working members on the intricacies of Ayurveda. In this role, I saw the spark that was ignited in people’s eye when they learned about the power of the science of life and knew I had to help keep feeding the fire.

I am now a freelance Ayurvedic chef, culinary educator and recipe developer, specializing in nutrient-dense, locally-sourced, seasonal menus. The clients that I work with include individuals as well as organizations such as Google Food Services, the American Dairy Council Northeast, the American Kidney Fund, FamilyCook Productions, Fuel Up to Play 60, Illuminate Foods, Maya Kaimal Foods and NYC Agriculture Collective.

My recent concentration has been supporting individuals and families in the Westchester and New York City area with customized meal plans and cooking classes to support their health and dietary needs. My menus have helped support clients with the following conditions and life events:

• Alopecia

• Brain fog

• Celiac

• Chronic inflammation

• Diabetes

• Epstein-Barr

• Hoshimoto’s disease

• Postpartum

• Surgeries - Knee and hip

Knowledge is at the root of all power and it is my service to help others regain a sense of equilibrium by through custom consultations and immersive experiences such as culinary classes and interactive workshops to enable individuals to tap into their full human physical, mental and spiritual potential.
