I'd Love to Get Started
Hi I am Stephanie. I am happiest when I’m cooking great plant-based meals to share with my family, friends and clients. I absolutely LOVE sharing my knowledge and skills about the vegetarian/vegan world. I have always wanted to help people and chose to get my undergraduate degree in Social Work as my way to get started doing so.
After college I moved home to Bainbridge Island with my high school sweetheart, worked in the field for awhile and started our family. During this time, I lost both of my parents to disease while they were in their 50’s. Those two painful losses inspired me to go back to school and become a Health and Wellness Coach. I loved working with my clients and helping guide them toward their best health and vitality.
While working with them, though, I kept coming back to food as medicine. I saw that the best foundation to health starts with the foods we choose, particularly plant-based foods. So, back to school I went, this time completing two Professional Plant-Based Cooking Certifications. I am proud of my journey towards health and am excited to see where it goes. I really do see this as a journey we are all on, it’s never a straight and easy path which is what reminds us that we are human. If you are interested in allowing me to help guide you along your journey, I would be honored.
