Kind words

 

“Starting on an Ayurvedic journey with Alexandra's guidance has drastically improved my sleep, settled my mind, and deepened my relationship with my body. She offers practical, straightforward advice, as well as a nurturing voice on how to approach making lifestyle changes. “

— Rachel Klein

“I had never eaten anything like Alexandra's cooking before this retreat, and since I've gotten home, it's all I've been craving. Meals were such a delight, not only because they were delicious and filling but also because each was so colorful and beautiful. I also felt like I learned so much in such an organic way about the philosophies and sciences behind what I was eating and why. I am deeply grateful for the ways in which she nourished me during this experience.”

— Kate Coleman

“Her meals were works of art and full of heart. She convincingly demonstrated the power of creating prana-rich dishes, all of which left me feeling satisfied and rejuvenated in a way I didn't know food could. I struggle with low energy, and Alexandra's food had me skipping! It is no exaggeration when I say I have never seen food have such a positive or memorable impact on me, Alexandra has a signature approach as a chef, educator and Ayurvedic guru that still is still filling me with warmth and fondness. If you have the chance to work with or be fed by Alexandra, you are in for a profound treat.” 

— Tess Marstaller

“As someone who has personally dealt with a health crisis, I have truly been able to experience the saying "food is medicine" while enjoying delicious meals cooked from the Sattvic Chef. Alexandra puts not only the most organic and fresh ingredients into her dishes, she does so with such a beautiful heart and soul.  If you are looking for your body, mind and sprint to be nourished and fed, look no further as you have come to the right place.”

— Julie Viscuso

“Alexandra's cooking was the most quintessential experience of a labor of love. Each meal felt so lovingly prepared and I noticed the impact on my overall feeling of nourishment and well-being. Thank you!” 

— Kelsey Kilponen

"Where the foods are nutritious, Alexandra’s lovely energy is one of the richest ingredients, and is what makes us feel so good, I believe."

— Sarah Woodard
