I am an American who has spent more than 20 years living outside the USA. I have been married to my husband for almost 20 years. Together we have three teenagers, and a beloved Yorkshire Terrier. While working for a non-profit Christian organization, we have lived on four continents and learned three foreign languages. This has exposed me to foods and cooking methods from all over the world. I love to help my clients introduce  Mediterranean and Latin American ingredients and cooking processes into to their own cooking! Healthy food is always best when it tastes as good as it is for you!

My passion for fitness began as a teenager when I swam at the nationally competitive level. Ever since I have loved all things exercise including trail running, weight lifting, hiking, and cross fit. I also love gardening and travel (which don’t always make a great combination).
