Qualified Chef | Whole Food Plant-Based Specialist | Educator & Wellness Advocate
I’m a professionally trained chef with over 30 years of experience in the culinary industry—and for the past 15 years, my focus has shifted toward something deeply meaningful: the connection between food and health.
After completing a Diploma in Health Science and Nutrition, my career took a transformative turn during my years as Head Chef and Catering Manager at The Gawler Foundation. It was there that I discovered a passion for whole food, plant-based cooking – not just as a culinary style, but as a way to support healing, wellbeing, and vitality.
Through co-facilitating garden-to-kitchen workshops, working closely with nutritionists, delivering talks, and engaging with people who were eager to make healthy changes, I saw a clear need: many people want to eat better but don’t know where to start. So, I opened my own kitchen to the community, offering hands-on cooking experiences and practical education to help others confidently transition to a whole food, plant-based lifestyle. In response to the growing demand for practical cooking guidance, I now offer online cooking tutorials through my YouTube channel, providing accessible, step-by-step lessons on creating delicious and nutritious plant-based meals.
While I no longer host hands-on workshops at home, my videos serve as a comprehensive resource for anyone looking to make the transition to a whole food, plant-based lifestyle.
Whether you’re looking to improve your health, boost your energy, or simply learn to cook delicious meals from real, unprocessed ingredients—I’m here to help you take that first step. Once you learn the basics, you’ll be amazed at how simple, satisfying, and life-changing this way of eating can be.
