Chef Christina Gala

My name is Christina, and I am a family-style trained chef who creates intimate dining experiences around the family table. I specialize in various dietary needs, including raw vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, whole plant-based foods, and bodybuilding diets. I also cater to special dietary preferences, allergies, and detox programs, such as liver cleanses, gallbladder flushes, juice feasts, and cleansing protocols designed to help the body detoxify.

Although I am not a medical professional, I offer guidance on creating successful eating plans based on what your body needs, not just what it’s avoiding. If navigating the grocery store and preparing meals feels overwhelming, I can simplify the process by helping you select ingredients, create shopping lists, and provide recipes. Whether you need meal prep, cooking lessons, or a custom plan to stock your kitchen with healthier essentials, my expertise will help you nourish yourself with ease.

For over 26 years, I’ve been cooking on-site for clients, and for the past 20+ years, I’ve had the privilege of preparing meals for transformational retreats. A highlight of my career was enhancing the nutrition program at The Sanctuary at Sedona, where I helped clients balance their blood sugar and mood chemistry through food. I’ve shared my unique recipes and techniques in cooking classes worldwide, inspiring many to adopt mindful food preparation methods that focus on using the highest quality natural ingredients.

Through my approach, I demonstrate that eating mindfully doesn’t mean sacrificing taste or pleasure. The kitchen is my playground, and I love sharing that experience with you.
