Hello! I’m Jeannine, a culinary coach and plant-based personal chef. I am so excited and grateful you made it here!

​

My personal health journey:

My previous career had me traveling on the road and working long hours. I didn’t take the time to prepare healthy meals and defaulted to carry-out and convenience foods. Sound familiar? This totally caught up to me and as a result, I struggled with digestive issues for years. I was also treated for thyroid cancer and other health issues. It was time to make some major lifestyle changes! 

 

I realized I needed to take control of my own health, and that started with what I was eating. So I set out to learn how to prepare healthy food for myself. Beyond what we all see, I knew instinctively that processed food was hiding bad things and greatly reducing nutrients.

 

My first stop was educating myself with a holistic foundation to wellness and cooking at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition as a Certified Health Coach. I was adding in more nutrient-dense whole foods and less processed food which totally helped my digestive issues. I realized that “Food is Medicine” and gained a strong desire to share this knowledge with others. 

  

Next, I specialized as a Certified Plant-Based Chef and most recently, a Culinary Coach. I realized that many people would like to eat better but don’t know where to start.

 

This led to me creating Kitchen is Love as a way to help empower others on their journey to be in control of their healthy eating through plant-based recipes, meal planning & prep along with culinary skills. I meet clients where they are today and create a plan to help them reach their goals, one step at a time. 

 

I would love to share my passion for plants with you! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me here.
