“Krishna never becomes hungry. He wants to taste the mood of bhakti through the offering of any preparation. He never tastes plantain, rabadi, milk, or anything. He only tastes the essence of those offerings, which is love and affection."
~Krishna the Lord of Sweetness,
by Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja

High Prana, High Vibe
As a Certified Holistic Chef, Nutrition Consultant, and Yoga Teacher, I use food and ritual as nourishing, pleasurable medicine for releasing stagnations of the body, mind and spirit to enhance one's Prana, or life-force energy. By using fresh, quality ingredients that strive to come close to their source, combined with creativity and devotional intention, we'll bring your body back to her/his/their original aliveness!
Much of my own suffering in my food journey has been about nourishing not only my body, but my spirit. I've often used food as a way to get grounded, to add pleasure to my life when I was feeling lonely (a message from our cravings perhaps?), or to distract from boredom or discomfort. A truly satisfying meal can meet our needs, so we can feel actual satiation in our belly and spirits. Eating can even be a meditation!
I focus on delighting the senses, using whole-food-based cooking techniques combined with traditional and immune-boosting, healing food preparation. I most enjoy using seasonal and locally grown produce (when possible!) herbs, spices, fruits, vegetables, greens, grains, beans and sweets.

A Conscious MovementConsuming local is making a lasting conscious impact on the immediate community, mother nature, and our own life. It's an ecological & economical vortex that supports individual dreams and passions, in turn benefiting the whole. The following are local people, products, and businesses in the New England area that I'm happy supporting.
