Chef At Home In Miami
Get to know me better
Passionate about using good tasting foods as a preventative measure against imbalances or illness in the body.
Over the past two years of studying Traditional Chinese Medicine and Functional Nutrition, I’ve embraced the philosophy of food as medicine. In my cooking, I emphasize the power of meals as infusions of whole foods and medicinal herbs—designed to prevent imbalances in the body and support lasting well-being.
Rooted in my studies, I’ve learned to weave together my academic journey and my experience as my late mother’s caretaker into a deeply personal and holistic practice. I see the body as a mirror of nature—alive with the same elements that shape the earth.
Through my cooking, I aim to highlight the ripple effect of our choices: how what nourishes us also nurtures the planet. With a vision of balance, I advocate for organic, regenerative farming as a way to sustain both human health and the vitality of the earth.

a really young age thanks to late mother & grandmother but learned about TCM much later on.
A cooking secret...
Using butter & tallow instead of seed oils, using lots of medicinal tonic spices & herbs like turmeric, ginseng, ginger, star anise & goji berries.
