Returning to the forest.

Based in the mountains of Serra de Monchique in the Algarve region of Portugal — I offer workshops in medicinal foods and natural cosmetics. I’ll show you how to improve your health through making a conscious choice about what you use and consume and the effect that it can have on your mind and body.

Using food as medicine.

Through my workshops, my intention is to provide practical advice and recipes that can support the body’s natural healing ability. My aim is to show you that natural and wholesome foods can be both healthy and delicious, as well as providing you with a sense of wellbeing and vitality — just as nature intended.
