I'm on a mission to empower people to transform their lives and improve physical, mental, and spiritual health through integrative strategies backed by science and ancient wisdom. In America today, our health is declining and lifestyle factors are the #1 cause. For example, less than 5% of cancers (and other chronic health conditions, including obesity) are directly caused by genetics. That means lifestyle changes can be the #1 solution ! If you want to...
-
prevent chronic health conditions like cancer
-
lose or manage weight and have more energy
-
break generational cycles of disease and trauma
-
change your family's lifestyle patterns
-
develop transformative habits and routines
-
heal holistically from trauma, grief, and loss
-
manage stress and anxiety
...then I want to walk with you- teaching, coaching, encouraging, and supporting as you take control of your life. Helping people achieve massive health and wellness transformations has been one of the biggest joys of my life for the past 15 years. I invite you to experience the joy of wellness and vitality.
"Sandy ran an amazing cooking class. It was beginner friendly. Sandy educated the students on the basics of cooking and the nutritional value as well. Sandy was hands on and explained healthy options for cooking . I’m excited to take more classes with Sandy for my lifestyle changes."

"As a mother and wife who works full-time, attending Sandy’s workshops has been a refreshing opportunity for me to learn how to enjoy preparing simple delicious meals (including vegan!) that nourish my palate and empower me to choose better quality foods for my family. Sandy has a gift for sharing her vast knowledge about food as medicine in a practical and engaging manner - all while inspiring each participant with practical skills and strategies to adapt and make their own. Anyone looking for a fun and interactive class with a coach who models effective ways to rethink cooking and eating, consider treating yourself to a cutting-edge workshop."

“I attended two of Sandy's workshops. One was a full course dinner that included delightful appetizers, a delicious main dish, refreshing drinks, and an amazing dessert to seal the most satisfying and nourishing meal I had ever experienced. In this workshop, Sandy taught us by example about the power of presence, the healing of community, and the gift of hospitality. It was more than delicious, healthy, nourishing food that helped your body thrive but also an encounter with food as a catalyst that integrates multiple aspects of the depth of our humanity such as connection, creativity, and compassion. The second workshop I attended, Sandy once again integrated nutrition with spirituality and health. This educational and demonstrative workshop focused on various vegan foods and drinks help sustain energy, focus, and stamina for optimal health and functioning. As a sequentially challenged learner and a person who loves food but feels overwhelmed and intimidated by working in the kitchen, I found most of the recipes were easy to follow. Attending Sandy's two workshops has given me victory over some of the insecurities and anxieties I held around food prep and cooking. I have since been feeling empowered and working in my kitchen with more confidence and playfulness. Thank you Sandy for inspiring me to look at food not only as medicine but as a means to exercise my creativity.”
