I tantalized taste buds for over 15 years as a natural foods chef, cooking instructor, author, yoga teacher and fitness coach. My mission has always been to show that a plant-based diet and lifestyle can be delicious & easy, and will bring more energy and bliss into your life all while helping the planet.

My business pre-pandemic included healthy cooking classes, lectures and cooking demos, private instruction in people’s homes, consulting and corporate team building, personalized fitness programs and personal training along with public and private yoga classes. I also led wellness retreats all over the world.

Now the next adventure is opening a movement studio in Caldas da Rainha, which will offer all types of classes in English for the community.

I’ve parted ways with my previous brand The Blissful (& Fit) Chef. It was a long time coming and it wasn’t an easy decision. But I’m not the same blissful person I used to be. I’ve gotten older and wiser (and more radical!). My life and who I am as a person has changed a lot. That will happen in your 40s I suppose. Now I’m creating a new life in Portugal.

On this website is my blog, a place I ramble and share what is on my mind. I’ve got so much to say. And you can find out what is happening with Caldas Movement Studio where I teach yoga and fitness classes. Also, I will continue to write travel blogs and fill in the missing gaps of places I visited recently that I never wrote a blog about. I look forward to writing again. It’s been too long my friends.
