How may I help?

Fluff this...

I'm here to help.

I am a Personal Wine Consultant, Chef and Food and Wine Coach.  Ya, it’s really a thing.

I am committed to living and learning every day and sharing that knowledge with you.  With so many self-help gimmicks and fads, it’s important that we be very clear here. Well-being, life fulfillment and living happy comes in all shapes and sizes.  Social media and pop culture have completely distorted what is real, happy and healthy.  I want to help change that.

Personal development and life coaching through food and wine may sound ridiculous and indulgent, I get that.  However, it is an extraordinarily simple concept that I believe in with all my heart and soul. It is a different approach that is geared toward anyone who wants to explore the world of wine, eat well and find joy in the process. My goal is to shed light on this concept of personal development and how it can be achieved through culinary experiences, the exploration of wines and by being as silly as humanly possible, whenever possible.

It’s about progress, not perfection. Personal development is a lifelong journey of self-improvement, self-awareness, and personal growth. Sounds like a lot, right?  It can be, which is where I come in!

Moving the needle in the right direction involves understanding oneself, setting realistic goals, developing skills and abilities all to enhance one’s overall well-being. Life fulfillment, on the other hand, is the deep satisfaction and contentment that comes from living a purposeful and meaningful life. There is no one-size-fits-all plan. Everyone is different and there is no physical finish line. We are all a work in progress and that is what living a happy life every day is all about.
