I’m Monica — chef, cafe owner, gluten free innovator, recipe developer, instructor, writer, IIN certified holistic health coach, and wellness enthusiast — and I’m passionate about helping you discover and embody the deliciousness of food, life, and feeling wildly healthy in your body every day. 

As an award-winning chef with 20+ years working in prestigious kitchens (and being diagnosed with Celiac and other autoimmune diseases), I realized that I needed a deeper understanding of how to combine my love of food with optimal, nourishing health.

I believe that wellness is so much more than just yoga and green juice, and food not only fills our bellies, but it also nourishes our souls. Here you will find everything from what’s inspiring me, to nourishing recipes, and tips for incorporating sustainable and joyful habits into your day so you can show up for your brightest life because wellness is for everyone.
