With over five years of hands-on experience catering for retreats, I bring a  blend of culinary expertise, calm adaptability, and a genuine passion for nourishing people. Cooking on a retreat demands the ability to plan and execute nutritionally balanced, flavour-rich menus for groups of varying sizes, dietary needs, and sensitivities, while maintaining consistency and creativity. 

Where possible, I like to use local produce to create delicious menus, with the intention of sustaining energy, supporting wellbeing, and complementing the transformative work participants are doing. Subject to the logistics and practicalities of the event, I sometimes have the opportunity to include a live cooking demonstration as part of the guest experience -it can be a really engaging addition.

The one thing I have learned over the years, is that food plays a huge role in the overall experience of retreat guests and when people feel truly nourished from the inside out, everything else flows better.
