Hi, I'm Catherine -
Celebration Coach, Culinary Expert & Life Alignment Mentor

I believe that life is meant to be lived with intention, savored deeply, and celebrated often. 

I help ambitious, heart-centered individuals align their lives with purpose, nourish themselves with intention, and celebrate every step of their journey.

With over 14 years of experience as a professional chef and dual certifications in life and health coaching—including credentials from Harvard Medical School—I’ve guided clients to rediscover what truly matters and build meaningful lives rooted in joy, alignment, and abundance.

​

My approach blends mindset, values work, joyful habit-building, soulful nourishment, and intentional rituals. Together, we design a life you love—one that tastes as good as it feels.

How I got Here (Mini Story)

Since 2012, I've been in the kitchen—bringing joy to others through food. But my passion for guiding and empowering others began long before that.

​

After earning my degree in Elementary Education, I taught first grade for the Department of Defense Dependent Schools, helping children learn and grow on military bases overseas. That experience taught me the value of patience, connection, and celebrating even the smallest wins—lessons that continue to shape my coaching today.

​

Over time, I realized that true fulfillment requires more than nourishing food or academic achievement—it needs a nourishing life.

​

My clients often came to me hungry for more than recipes. They wanted connection, joy, a sense of purpose. That’s what led me to pursue formal coaching training, deepen my knowledge of wellness and happiness science, and build a business that brings all of it together.

Let's Celebrate Together

Whether you're navigating a life transition, craving more fulfillment, or simply ready to celebrate your life in a deeper way—I’m here to help.

​

Let’s discover what matters most to you and build a life that honors it.
