Meet Holistic Chef & Wellness Coach Carol

 

I help seniors age in place by providing wholesome, home cooked meals and social connection. I aim to improve nutrition while also creating invaluable moments of meaningful interaction, because I believe food is medicine and mealtime is meant to be shared.

My passion for this work grew from caring for my own aging parents who lived thousands of miles away. I saw firsthand the challenges they faced around nutrition and isolation; my father could no longer shop and cook the way he had been accustomed to and as the quality of their diet declined, so did their overall health. It pained me to see them struggle and I felt helpless living so far away. It is because of my parents that I felt inspired to dedicate my culinary skills to supporting seniors in their homes.

For over 20 years, I've blended my love of creating nourishing meals with a holistic approach to wellness. After healing from my own health challenges, I became a Certified Holistic Health Coach through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and a Health Supportive Chef through the Natural Gourmet Institute. Throughout my career, I've cooked for celebrities, guided families off processed foods, supported clients through illness recovery, and facilitated corporate wellness programs.

All meals are made from scratch with locally sourced, organic ingredients -- often from my own garden ---and are tailored to suit each client’s unique needs, allergies and wellness goals. My mission is simple: to help older adults remain in their own homes as they age and to keep them well nourished, both in body and spirit.
