Welcome to my website-I just love that you’re here!
If you’re new to me and my work, let me share with you who I am and what I do. And, if familiar with what I did, you should know that the scope of what I can offer you expanded! In addition to being a Certified Culinary Professional, I’m a Certified Life Coach and also a Kitchen Coach and Consultant. Although, at first (three decades ago), my work was focused mostly on teaching how to create and sustain the very literal type of yummy, nurturing home-life that many of us didn’t experience when young-it didn’t end there. Over the years, I’ve learned, both personally and professionally, that we can’t just cook to make all of our dreams come true. Life is big, intricate and choosing to travel the daily road to being authentically happy requires real commitment and often bravery.
Because of my own personal growth journey, combined with what I’ve learned from working with people from all walks of life (and in several capacities) I know this for sure: You don’t need to be literally locked up to be in a dark, insecure or unfulfilling place. Let me teach you how to heal old, historic wounds and get control of the quality of your inner and outer life.
I can help you to discover what you really want, what’s in your way and how to navigate the path in between. I can teach you the dynamics behind your inner dialogue so you can stop warring with yourself and with others. I can help you to embrace the effort it takes to grow and to eventually win at this daily game we call life.

Sourdough Focaccia with grapes and French cheeses. Jon and I were away on vacation and got a bad flu- We’re home now and both still get so tired! Today, feeling restless and wanting so much to feel like “me”- but with so little energy. not much of an appetite and no impetus to cook-a new one for me.! So, in order to revisit and reawaken my creative spirit, I went inward. I did what I always do-I dream while awake. I build, first in my mind and then let my hands make things real (solid) on the outside. Although it’s now almost dusk, and I’m feeling quite tired again- this bread helped me to feel like the me I enjoy so much. Here’s to proactive living and healing!❤️#whenthisnanacooks #sourdough #focaccia #homemadebread #homemadelife

Fillet of lemon sole with butter, lemon and chives, steamed white asparagus with garlic confit- and poached and then herb-roasted potatoes: It’s so fun to have a theme when choosing/creating our dinner!- Today, after looking in the fridge, I thought “tonight is a meal that all starts out the same color.” Doesn’t end that way. We’re all connected-#whenthisnanacooks #freshfishfordinner #homecooking #sohappytobehome
