Are you ready to live your most joyfuL & AUTHENTIC life?
I believe honoring your heritage and combining it with well being, wisdom, self-love and soul care while giving back to your community contributes to a more fulfilling life. I also draw great inspiration from celebrating my Italian & Greek immigrant ancestors' culture whose courage to come to America, taught me about inner strength by creating a well lived life of love, food, family, faith, persistence, nature and longevity. Hope you can find ways to celebrate your life and history too.

COMING SOON!
Hi Everyone, Later this year, I will be offering an inspiring video course, called "Joyful Mediterranean Date Dinners" that focuses on the ritual and recipes for consistent wellbeing times at the table for yourself, and/or partner and loved ones. The recipes are Mediterranean - Italian and Greek inspired with gluten-free & dairy-free options. This video course is inspired by my own life starting with my Mediterranean Italian-Greek heritage, my travels of hosting culinary documentaries, my teaching wellbeing and cooking classes and simply experiencing healthy, soul satisfying times at the table. My husband (James) and I had weekly date dinners since 2006 and for myself back when I was single. Subscribe to my newsletter to learn when this course has been released and to receive wellbeing wisdom tips and recipes for a more joyful life.
Love and Blessings to you, Cynthia
