Catering
& Private Chef

Elevated plant-based dining for retreats, events & intimate gatherings.

Rooted in my background in nutrition and my love for mindful movement and healing spaces, I bring intention to every step of the process—from menu planning to plating.

Food is so much more than sustenance—it’s atmosphere, ritual, and nourishment for the soul.
With my Private Chef Services, I offer custom-curated, seasonal menus for wellness retreats, creative gatherings, and intimate events. Every meal is designed to leave your guests feeling grounded, nourished, and inspired—whether it’s a weekend in the Hill Country or a dinner under the stars.
