About me
As a facilitator, educator, and coach, I blend the worlds of cooking, mindful awareness, psychology, systems thinking, and spirituality into my work.
I believe that the kitchen serves as a nurturing space for inner growth, where cooking and eating can become meaningful spiritual experiences. Inspired by Joanna Macy’s Work that Reconnects and Ancient Traditions, I offers personalized courses, workshops, and sessions designed to meet the unique needs of each individual or group.
Grounded in mindfulness, I bring together different ideas and effective health practices to improve our connections with ourselves, others, and nature. Through resources and guidance, I encourage everyone to see the wholeness within themselves and embrace personal growth in meaningful ways.
I’m a long-time Vipassana Meditation student and currently studying Buddhist psychology at Sravasti Abbey. Over the past decade, I have learned from teachers in Japan and South Korea about the spiritual dimensions of cooking and has received guidance from Zen Master Edward Espe Brown in Germany.
How can I put life at the centre of everything I do?
Each time I dive into a fresh project or begin a new coaching program, I find myself pondering the same question. After over 20 years in the corporate world, I’m now venturing into a more mature and aware phase of my life. This chapter is focused on discovering purpose and meaning through dedicating myself to a path that uplifts and enriches life.
A bit of my past lingers here.
I believe that kitchens serve not only as spaces for preparing meals but also as platforms for personal growth and transformation. My mission is to empower this journey by offering conscious-based programmes.
Why me
Why me
A few facts…
- I grew up in Colombia steaming earthy tubers from the mountains, then journeyed to Europe for 15 years to slow-cooking stews with vegetables from open landscapes. More recently, I’ve immersed myself in stirring fry the ancient wisdom of South Asia. Each of these experiences has shaped my understanding of cooking, my relationship to food, people, and the bounty of this planet.
- Over the last decade, I have given myself to the project of developing my gifts through introspection and training and finding ways to offer them. Now, through coaching sessions, courses, and facilitation, I create welcoming spaces for anyone interested in deeply connecting with themselves and fostering meaningful connections, all while cooking up a storm!
- My current research took me to Cambodia, where I currently live with my partner and our seven cats. Our claim to fame is growing for the first time long beans and keeping them alive until they reach our plates.
