In 1986 I was introduced to the principles of oriental medicine as a way to heal ovarian and breast cancer. Using a simple dietary approach, along with regular exercise and other natural remedies, it became a way of life. By following a clean and consistent diet, I recovered my health and I have been cancer free ever since. 


I graduated from the Kushi Institute in Becket, Massachusetts, studying macrobiotic and Oriental Medicine and graduated as a full cooking instructor, counselor, and teacher. Since then I’ve acquired extensive knowledge guiding people seeking to strengthen or improve their health. 


Through my training and combined decades helping and observing people, I’ve arrived at my own theories of nutrition. Hence, I believe we all need a good basic understanding of nutrition to help us make proper decisions when we are faced with today’s infinite variety of food choices.


From 1994 to 1999, I taught “Vegetarian and Vegan Cooking” at the “Epicurean Cooking School in West Hollywood, and influenced many students on a healthier path.


In addition, I have been actively teaching private and group cooking classes, and I traveled the world guiding people in the proper use of food, lifestyle, and natural techniques to recover and maintain their health.

From movie sets in Hollywood, to various locations around the world, my path has taken me many places. I have worked with and consulted with many celebrities seeking to look and feel healthier; professional people seeking to overcome conditions such as obesity, infertility, or diabetes; and individuals stricken with various cancers or degenerative diseases.

For ten years, I managed a health-oriented catering service delivering nutritious foods to a caseload of clients with illnesses that included digestive problems, endocrine imbalances, diabetes among other health impairments. I eventually transitioned to private cooking and consulting, often traveling with clients to ensure their health and well-being.


In doing so I worked as a chef and nutritional counselor on movie sets for Nicole Kidman, Bette Midler, the Wayan Brothers, Gwyneth Paltrow and others. I also traveled with Madonna on one of her tours, and followed that with a five-continent Police Tour as Sting’s personal chef and dietician.
