After spending a few exciting and informative years at some of New York's most interesting and creative restaurants and catering companies, I craved a shift in my life. While providing nourishing and tasty food for people has always been one of my most cherished passions, I knew I wanted to blend this with some more fulfilling, holistic work--work that would allow me to bring more goodness in the world each and every day.
I thus started to channel my various training backgrounds--as an integrative nutritionist, whole foods chef, and doula--into my daily practice. These combine my deepest passions: the spread of health, wellness, happiness, and good energy to my communities and to those in need.
I am a birth doula, a childbirth educator, a certified lactation consultant, a health coach from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, and a graduate of the Culinary Arts Program at the Natural Gourmet Institute.
When not in the kitchen or attending a birth you can find me on a hiking/ camping trip, hanging with my Camp Power family, on the tennis court, playing with my dog Rufus or biking around Brooklyn.
I look forward to meeting you!
Melissa
