Ancestral Nourishment:

Honoring Life Through Food

Food holds stories. It carries the love of those who cooked for us, the traditions passed down through generations, and the comfort we seek during times of change. Ancestral Nourishment is an offering to honor these connections—whether you’re celebrating a loved one’s memory, preserving cherished family recipes, or finding nourishment through remembrance.

  • Memorial Meals: Honoring Loved Ones Through Food

    When someone we love is sick or has crossed over, it’s easy to forget to nourish ourselves. Sharing a meal they once enjoyed can become a powerful way to honor their life and hold space for healing.

    I offer to prepare a meal inspired by your loved one’s favorite foods—whether it’s a special dish they always requested or the flavors that remind you most of them. This can be shared privately, with family, or as part of a memorial gathering.

  • Recipe Recording: Preserving Stories Before They’re Lost

    So many family recipes are passed down by word of mouth, often without written measurements or instructions. When a loved one becomes sick or passes, those recipes—and the stories behind them—can easily be lost.

    With this service, I’ll sit with you and your family members to gently record recipes, ensuring each dish’s heart and history are preserved for generations to come. Whether it’s your grandmother’s signature dish or a simple comfort meal, these recipes become a tangible way to hold memory and love.e Lost

Why I Hold This Space

Ancestral Nourishment is more than a service—it’s heart work, shaped by personal experience and years of tending to life’s thresholds.

My path includes:

  • 4+ years volunteering in hospice, offering presence and care to those in transition.

  • 15+ years as a professional chef, where I witnessed how food connects us to love, memory, and the earth

  • 11+ years of herbalism and 6+ years of energy work, creating spaces for healing and restoration.

  • Death doula work, the passing of loved ones, and my own near-death experiences, I’ve learned to honor life’s sacred cycles with reverence and compassion.

  • 15+ years of ancestral healing, reconnecting with the foods, stories, and resilience of those who came before us.

This work is tender, nourishing, and deeply personal. Whether we’re preserving family recipes or preparing a memorial meal, each moment is held with compassion, presence, and care.

If you feel called to explore this offering, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
