But, with more than 30 years of plant-based eating under my belt, I've also learned from experience that plant-based eating can be absolutely amazing! As a girl with Caribbean roots, I have no tolerance for food that isn't flavorful.
I definitely don't believe that anyone should have to eat sad, bland food in order to be healthy! I’ve found that by exploring cuisines from around the world, eating well can be a party. That's why I am on a mission to deliver you from boring food!
a foodie on
a mission...
I'm not a professional chef by any means, but I've learned to cook because I love to eat! As someone who became vegetarian long before it was trendy, I've had my share of depressing meals (think rice and salad with no entrée).
I want you to experience all the health benefits of a plant-based diet while eating foods you love.
I want you to broaden your horizons beyond the Standard American Diet and narrow definitions of "health food" to experience all the delicious plant-powered foods this world has to offer!
I want us to rediscover simpler and healthier ways of living that will increase our longevity and quality of life.
I want to empower you with the knowledge you need to make the best decisions for you and your body.
I want you to have life and to have it more abundantly!
Dr. Sandra
So, allow me to introduce you to the joy of plant-powered living!
While it seems that so much of my plant-based journey has been accidental, I don't believe in coincidence. I honestly believe that I was put here on earth to share the things I've learned with you! You see, I don't believe that you're here by accident either. I believe that you were meant to live a life full of purpose and passion. A life free from preventable diseases. I believe that you deserve to have the clarity, energy, and vitality you need to enjoy new experiences, build meaningful relationships and make a difference in this world. But it all begins with making self-care a priority! I believe that I'm worth it and that you are too.
That's why invite you to journey with me, as we learn to live well together!
You’re not here by accident
Most people underestimate the importance of the mind-body connection. But as a psychologist interested in holistic health, I’ve adopted this philosophy:
Good food is the fuel for your best life!
I love to travel and so do my tastebuds, and I’d absolutely love for you to take this journey with me!
