Transform your Kitchen into a Space for Wholeness
Working at the intersection of food (nutrition, cooking and eating) with psychology and spirituality.
Kitchen that Reconnects works on personal growth by providing supporting resources and inspiring guidance to nourish the self, cultivate a sense of connection and community, and develop a deeper appreciation for the Earth.
The focus is on teaching practices, insights, and skills to harness the kitchen as the place for wholeness, providing a fertile ground for introspection to thoughtfully consider the ways in which our kitchen experiences shape us individually and collectively.
I guide people to transform in their kitchens.
These are times to put the apron on,
Peel off the onion
Chop off the fears
Sieve our thoughts
Stir emotions, Marinate dreams
Sauteé our talents, Add our juiciness
Turn the fire on and,
Cook for a better Self
Cook for a better World
The ubiquity and everyday aspects of cooking should not blind us to its magic and transformation
Julia Bello
hello!
I’m Claudia Victoria
An advocate for home cooking with a nature-centered re-visioning of the kitchen to return it to its original intention -home’s heart and soul-, a place for nourishment, creativity, and transformation, the space where wholeness begins.
My culinary work is a holistic practice inspired by the principles of Joanna Macy’s Work that Reconnects and the Zen Master Edward Espe Brown’s teachings on cooking as a spiritual practice.
Rooted in mindfulness and ancestral traditions, I weave together systems thinking, evidence-based holistic health practices, and a deep connection to the natural world.
What is it you would like to transform into the uncharted territory of your own kitchen?
Is it your physical health, your resilience in the face of challenges, or the connection with your higher self? or maybe… the way you communicate and interact with others, shifting into more authentic and genuine relationships? or perhaps…your response to the current uncertainty and complexity of the world?

Striking a balance: How much kitchenalia is necessary for delicious meals and minimal waste?
Some days ago while reading about cooking history, I stumbled upon an unfamiliar term - Kitchenalia. This term, which I haven't seen before, inspired me to write about it. Kitchenalia, a term derived from 'kitchen' and 'alia' (paraphernalia), encompasses the cooking...
