“His food and elixirs perfectly supported our week-long activities.”

I had the pleasure of being nourished on a recent well-being retreat with breakfast, lunch and dinner courtesy of Chef Terry. His food and elixirs perfectly supported our week-long activities where we participated in yoga, tai chi and qigong movements; Received powerful guided meditations, sound baths and group reiki healing; Were honored with indigenous wisdom transmissions; And performed mindful rituals on different sacred lands. Thank you, Terry! Until we meet again…

“I would hire him again for a retreat or any setting in a heart beat!”

Terry led all the food operations and chef team for our 30-day retreat / summer camp, and not only made AMAZING FOOD but also was the ideal leadership member that ALL our staff loved and looked up to.

Questions, answered

Where do you travel?

I travel anywhere on the West Coast and cover all of the Hawaiian Islands.

Can you cook for dietary needs?

Yes. I handle all dietary needs, so every guest at your table is nourished and cared for.

How far ahead should we book?

Please book at least 30 days before your retreat or event, so there’s time to design your menu and source the best ingredients.
