Introduction: My approach is not to dwell on calories, carbs, fats, and proteins, or to create lists of restrictions or good and bad foods. Instead, I recognize that every individual has different dietary and nutritional needs. I work with my clients to help find what works best for them, and to create a happy, healthy life in a way that is flexible and rewarding. Meeting people and honoring the differences in us all, and challenging myself to try new ideas.

After having some challenging days past me, I had a wellness day at my house one day. While August was cooking in my kitchen, I was having a massage upstairs. It was indeed a gift and a blessing to have August prepare the most delicious pumpkin soup, shrimp curry with amazing blend of spices with a side of black rice, and some local greens. To share this blessing, I invited another special friend to partake in this sumptuous healthy spread. With every bite, we marbled on the play of different spices and the freshness and wonderful taste of the entire menu . August is not only a food guru who knows his trade with passion, he is also a gentle spirit who blends his food and life philosophy with love and passion, awareness of his impact to people and the planet, with commitment to the use of fresh local healthy produce, without compromising taste and any dietary needs. If you hired August as your personal chef, or to cook for a family party, it would be such a surprising rewarding experience. You wont be disappointed!

August created a beautiful meal for our family birthday celebration. The food was delicious, healthy and met all of the various dietary requirements of the individual family members (vegetarian, gluten free, dairy-free, omnivore). He was very professional and thoughtful throughout the entire process. He gave me a lots of potential menu options and made recommendations along the way. What you might like to know about August is that he is a real master in bringing forward the most exquisite flavors in what he creates. I know this may sound weird, but our family was actually cheering his name at the end of the meal. We are looking forward to working with him again for future celebrations throughout the year.

Assist in meal planning, prepare one to five days' worth of meals, grocery shopping, and clean-up. I can also help you identify other health-related goals and create step-by-step recommendations to integrate change.
