I have never turned anyone away or made them feel uncomfortable about approaching me with their questions or their curiosity. I am always just happy that someone took the plunge to approach me and ask.

These are the three top questions I’ve been asked over the years as a blind person.

I’ve been preparing my whole life. Collecting and re-writing flavorful healing, recipes. I have been preparing my spirit through a lifetime of trial and trauma, especially these last 8 years in which healing my mind, body, and spirit has been my top priority. I have been collecting and examining strategies and tools for success in overcoming a tremendously difficult opioid addiction that almost took my life twice. Nutritious food and sensory delight is a strong motivator for staying alive!

To be able to share this experience and insight with others, I completed culinary school – the first blind person to successfully complete and graduate the program. I am constantly deepening my knowledge of healing food by consulting with nutritionists and health coaches, and am preparing for the project by establishing a network of expert contributors.
