Introduction: I have more than 25 years of experience in the health, cooking, teaching, and natural foods industries. I've led more than 1100 cooking classes and presentations in 8 states and more than 300 of my articles have appeared in national and regional publications. I am enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. I have extensive knowledge of nutrition that many chefs lack. My recipes are easy to follow, easy to replicate, and they show people how to make healthy food taste great. I love inspiring, educating, and empowering people, teaching them practical information they can immediately apply to enjoy great tasting food and improve their health and fitness. I love hearing about the positive changes people are making as a result of what they have learned from me.

I was a student apprentice with Rachel in 2008. Rachel was the most inspiring and knowledgable nutrition coach I had ever met. I was so excited to meet her and I immediately wanted to follow in her footsteps. I started out in her classes learning recipes and kitchen skills. She taught us knife safety, how to use a vitamix, food safety and proper preparation and storage of meats. She also took us shopping and educated us on her selections. I then became an apprentice to her personal chef training program. I went on to have my own small personal chef service called Urban Vitality. I still hear Rachel in my head telling me not to graze while in the kitchen cooking. I hear her telling me to stand facing the cutting board centered and grounded. All of her food preparation tips I still use today, even as I cook for my family. I could go on and on about how Rachel inspired me. She is an excellent healthy chef and very educational teacher. I highly recommend her services.

Rachel was my cooking teacher over 20 years ago in Seattle. What I learned in her class is with me to this day. She had a huge affect on my life. She is a genius at figuring out the best way to prepare, cook, and plan healthy meals. I still have her class handouts filed away in a binder; they were that important to me. She has written several wonderful cookbooks that you can get on Amazon. Take her classes! You will learn so much and have a great time!

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a voracious reader. I read cookbooks, nutrition books, magazines, and blogs. I regularly test recipes from cookbooks that I review and I watch to see what other people in the food/health/cooking industry are doing to make healthy, delicious and beautiful food.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I grew up on processed, packaged foods, and soda. As a result, I suffered from hypoglycemia, constipation, acne, PMS, and depression, and I developed a weight problem in my early teens. Ongoing health issues, along with food sensitivities, led me to discover the nutritious world of whole foods and a produce and protein-rich diet. I learned to cook with natural ingredients and without wheat, dairy, corn, or refined sugar. I am now the culinary tour guide for others that I always wanted for myself. I wanted to share what I learned with others because it made such a difference in my life and because I love to work and play with food.
