Believe it or not, my love for the kitchen started in the gym. Before turning 40, I hired a personal trainer to reach my goal weight with the intention of starting the new decade and next chapter of my life as the best version of myself. After achieving my goal, I quickly realized that feeling great is about so much more than a number, it’s about nourishing your body from the inside out. With a newfound appreciation for health and wellness, I decided to go back to school  and  further my education in the Nutrition industry as well as receiving an official health  certification from Institute for Integrative Nutrition, NY (IIN) Health Coaching field. Before long, I started to dream up ways that I could combine my knowledge of nutrition with my passion for entertaining and appreciation for gathering with friends and family. In 2017 I opened One Life Kitchen, an intimate event space that brings people together to socialize, savor and share. As an extension of the One Life Kitchen brand, For The Love of a Kitchen, is a space to share my knowledge and passion for cooking, nutrition and entertaining in hopes that I will encourage others to discover a new love for their kitchen as well!
