My Maui Private Chef Journey…
My culinary journey is a colorful mosaic of experiences, stretching from the vibrant vineyards of California to the serene retreats of Maui. Every meal I craft draws on a diverse background that blends travel, wellness, and a deep love for hospitality. My classical training at California Culinary Academy’s Le Cordon Bleu program is just the beginning of a story enriched by backpacking adventures through Southeast Asia and Central America, where I gathered unique flavors and techniques to bring back to my kitchen.
In Maui, my passion for incorporating local, sustainable ingredients comes alive in both my retreat catering and private chef services. Whether it’s the rustic elegance of wine country meals or the bold layers of Panasian and traditional Mexican cuisines, I strive to offer dishes that are either timeless classics or vibrant contemporary experiences, all highlighting the bounty of Maui’s farms and seas.
After two decades in the hospitality industry, transitioning through roles from the kitchen to event management, and further deepening my connection with food through studies in Holistic Nutrition, Ayurvedic cooking, and Hawaiian medicinal food, I founded Lotus Chefs. This venture is a collective of incredible female chefs who share my ethos of cooking with intention and love. As Lotus Chefs grew, my life also blossomed with the birth of my daughter, prompting a shift to a more managerial and nurturing role. This transition allows me to focus on guiding and supporting my team, ensuring that our culinary creations continue to empower and delight every guest at your retreats and gatherings.
Motherhood has profoundly enriched my understanding of food as a source of nourishment for both the body and the soul. While I treasure the moments spent nurturing my daughter and exploring new culinary landscapes, my incredible team at Lotus Chefs helps extend this nurturing to more tables and gatherings. Together, we ensure that every meal we serve is not only healthy and delicious but also brings people together in meaningful ways.
Whether you’re looking to create an unforgettable culinary experience at a yoga retreat or desire a personalized meal at your private event, my team and I dedicate ourselves to excellence. We ensure that every dish reflects the care and passion I believe in, with every menu thoughtfully aligned with the energy and intention of your event.
If you’re searching for a culinary experience that goes beyond just eating and becomes a part of a larger journey of discovery, connection, and joy, you’re in the right place. I encourage you to reach out and let us transform your next gathering with bespoke menus that showcase the best of Maui’s local produce, executed with expert care and creative flair by my team.
Since motherhood, I have also have dedicated myself to mentoring and supporting other chefs in health and wellness through my private chef coaching services, chef-centric designs and templates, and my chef networking initiative More Pleaze.
