I really needed an energy boost and a quick lunch…try these:

1 cup of besan flour (chickpea flour)
Mix with 2 cups of filtered water, spices of your choice and nutritional yeast stand for 20 minutes.

Heat olive oil in a pan, add one ladle of batter, veg of choice, when edges become crispy flip one side over so it looks like an omelette.

If you want full recipe drop a comment NOURISH or DM with the word NOURISH.

For many in the West, it’s chicken soup. In Ayurveda, it’s kitchari—a simple, nourishing dish that’s often described as feeling like a warm hug for your belly.

This week I’m sharing my vegan kitchari recipe, along with the story behind this beautiful dish and the traditional Ayurvedic kitchari reset.

As a yoga teacher, I thought I had breathing mastered… until reformer Pilates! 😅

The breath is the foundation of movement, but every discipline uses it a little differently. Today’s lesson? Even teachers are always students.

(And yes, the party blower was well deserved! 😂💨)

Quesadillas- yummy 😋 using cannellini beans instead of cheese, giving these quesadillas a creamy texture. Full of protein and fibre. Great for lunches or dinner.

During menopause, estrogen levels naturally decline. Foods rich in phytoestrogens and cruciferous vegetables can help support the body through that transition.

Phytoestrogens are natural plant compounds that can gently mimic some effects of estrogen in the body. For some women, this may help with symptoms like hot flushes, mood changes and overall hormone balance.

I made this cauliflower and broccoli soup - which is not not only delicious but a powerhouse when it comes to supporting your hormones.

Top this off with pepitas, sunflower seeds, h**p seeds and cashew cream for an extra boost of protein and a sprinkling of chill flakes for an extra spicy kick.

If keen on the recipe comment SOUP or send me a DM.

As well as a plant-based chef I have been a yoga teacher for a few years now, hence the old photo. I need to do another photo shoot

I now have grey hair and decided to embrace the wise woman in me…but still the passion to teach and support others as well as my own practice never fades away.

You see nourishment is not just about food it’s about movement, breath, meditation and mindfulness.

I currently teach grounding Hatha classes Tuesdays 6–7pm at the Australian School of Meditation & Yoga on the Gold Coast and I’m excited to share more of this side of my world here.
