The Living Kitchen began in 2010 in Toronto, Canada. Since 2010 we’ve been cooking, planning menus, creating recipes and working intimately with people to elevate their health, recover from illnesses, adjust their diets, and make powerful changes in their lives. Our first cookbook, The Living Kitchen, was published by Appetite by Random House, in January 2019.  Our second book, Good Food Good Mood is now available everywhere books are sold.

I’m a nutritionist, author, chef and food photographer and good food has always been a huge part of my life. I grew up in the US in a family that was always cooking.  Starting in my teens I struggled with hormonal balance and endometriosis for most of my adult life and it took me many years to figure out what type of “diet” was best for me and that there really is no one size fits all approach to what you should eat. While getting my BA from Hampshire College in Massachusetts, I fell in love with nutrition and developed my cooking skills through working in restaurants. Eventually moving to Canada, I became a Certified Nutritional Practitioner at the Institute of Holistic Nutrition and I now love assisting and empowering others to feel healthier and manage chronic health conditions by eating healthy food.
Tamara and I co-authored our two cookbooks, The Living Kitchen and Good Food Good Mood, both published by Appetite by Randomhouse.
When I’m not working with food, I love getting out into nature as much as possible, doing yoga or pilates, and adventuring with my husband and daughter.

I’m a certified nutritionist, executive health coach, 2x best-selling cookbook author.  

You can find me as a guest expert on Breakfast Television, CP24, The Good Stuff, CBC radio and a digital creator for Flavour Network.  

I’ve been working in the health and wellness space for over 15 years and have seen diets, fads and nutrition dogmas come and go. 

My career began working with cancer patients and their caregivers — helping them use food to manage symptoms when everything else had failed. That experience deeply shaped my approach: food is powerful, but healing requires more than a menu plan.

After having kids, my focus expanded to prevention, longevity, and metabolic health. I wanted to be strong, energized, and healthy — not just now, but for the long haul.

That’s when I started to think of myself as a “life athlete” — someone training for every part of life: parenting, movement, work, mindset, joy. That shift transformed my health, and it’s a perspective that’s resonated with so many of my clients.

I know what actually works to help people elevate their energy, release weight that’s no longer serving them, and build real longevity — not just physically, but emotionally and energetically.

I blend evidence-based nutrition, mindset coaching, somatic tools, and realistic, nourishing recipes to create lasting change — the kind that sticks because it fits your life.
