Chef Monica Nelson

I was born and raised in Puerto Vallarta with roots in both Mexico and Canada. I have spent half my life in Mexico and half my life in Canada - where I had resided for the last 16 years. Creating delicious and health consicous food and creating connection around the dinner table is my passion. I pursued education as a Holistic Nutritionist and gratudated with honours from the Institute of Holistic Nutrition in Vancouver BC. For the last five years, I ran a personal cheffing company in Vanocuver, where we did meal prep, cooked in private homes, catered for events and retreats, and nourished people on the daily through our meal plans. Cooking mexican food is a great passion of mine and I also love cooking asian-inspired food and international fare.

I am now a private chef in Puerto Vallarta and Rivera Nayarit and I am driven by my passion to bring people together through the transformative power of food and wellness.
