TESTIMONIALS

“Jacqui is a pleasure to be around and have in one’s home! She was a beacon of hope for our family when health was an all-time necessity, but felt like an impossibility. With the birth of our third baby and a suddenly wild new world, Jacqui swooped in and nourished us with grace and ease. Her skill set is varied, while her food remains straightforward. She was adept at using what we had on hand and, most of all, meeting specific needs (postpartum!)

Flavorful, beautiful, nurturing … thank you, Jacqui.” 

– A. Kirschenbaum

“As a caregiver for 2 toddlers, one of whom is just over a year old, I’m overjoyed to see their faces light up when smelling and tasting the new, delicious, nutritious foods that Jacqui creates. Anyone with a toddler knows how difficult it can be not only to introduce them to new foods, but to generate excitement around trying new vegetables and fruits, and Jacqui is masterful at it. The girls are thriving and I’m thrilled that Jacqui’s skills are setting them up for a lifetime of healthy food choices.” 

– Mercedes

“Jacqui was the chef behind the most nutrient-dense, intentional, love-fueled menu and cooking extravaganza for 30+ women attending a weekend Wild Bliss Retreat. She executed the task with patience, insane creative talent, and loving energy. She’s a pro – excellence demonstrated.” 

– A. Kuensting

“I hired Jacqui to provide the nourishment for a 35 woman retreat for 4 days. It was a huge undertaking with lots of nuance. I was blown away by her professionalism and communication at first. And then the food….it was absolutely incredible. She tailored the menu to the experience I was hoping to provide for my guests in the most beautiful way possible. Everything was so deeply intentional and infused with love. I can’t wait to work with her again“

– N. Nardone

“Jacqui taught me how to read recipes, to comfortably use all of my kitchen equipment, and to navigate the overwhelming aisles of the grocery store including the meat and seafood counters. She taught me lifelong kitchen skills so that I can now cook confidently without a recipe. She is everything and more and her guidance in the kitchen changed my life. I HIGHLY recommend working with her – she’s priceless!“

– A. Walsh

“Thank you again for today. Our 3-year old has eaten as much food and healthier food in the last 5 hours than the last 5 days! And it is delicious!“

– C. Watney

“I have many dietary preferences (gluten, corn, soy, egg, and meat free) and Jacqui is STILL able to provide delicious meals. She is very knowledgeable about nutrition and the science behind it. I am certain that love is infused in her food. Truly, with Jacqui’s assistance, I have more time to focus on what I am passionate about, more energy because of her healthy food, and less time worrying about what’s for dinner.”

– J. Rulon

“Jacqui: I just wanted to thank you once again for the support and skills that you brought to my kitchen. Since our work together I have continued to explore food as medicine and have enjoyed the time I spend cooking so much more! It’s the best money I have spent in a long time.”

– A. Doe-Torres

“The biggest thing I’ve taken from this experience is that you’ve restored my faith in food.”   – S. Doe

“The enthusiasm Jacqui has towards food, health, cooking, and the effects of doing it well is unique. Her spirit and gusto propels her to help people find better health through cooking. She’s helped me tremendously with diet techniques and cooking methods.”

– J. Brown

“My family was so blessed to have Jacqui prepare an authentic Greek feast for us last summer. We had guests from all over the country flying in at various times. There were 17 of us sitting around the dinner table enjoying her amazing food. I’ve hired caterers before. Jacqui is so much more than that. You can taste the ‘love’ in each and every bite.”

– B. Spacke, DC

“I have known Jacqui for over 3 years and worked with her for over one year. I first met her when we were co-teachers at a private kindergarten in Seoul, South Korea. It’s difficult to understand children when you don’t have a child yourself, especially when you come from a completely different culture. Jacqui developed a variety of teaching methods to satisfy both the exacting parents and the students who were learning in a foreign language. I still benefit from some of the methods she developed today and use them in my own classes. Jacqui and I have had many conversations, and despite our limits with language, she was patient with me to the end, finding new ways to express herself in a way I could more easily understand.”

– H.R. Nam

“I found Jacqui soon after I discovered that I had inherited a significantly increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s. I knew there were a lot of lifestyle changes – including my diet – I could address in order to support my longterm cognitive health, but I was overwhelmed trying to make all the recommended changes at once. My integrative nutritionist suggested that it might be helpful to have a personal chef who was specially trained in cooking for brain health. I couldn’t believe someone liked that existed! When I met Jacqui I felt like I had received a bright ray of sunshine in the middle of a difficult time. Now, almost two years later, I can’t imagine our lives without her. Not only is my whole family eating in a way that I know is deeply supportive to all of our wellbeing (and so good for our brains!), but everything Jacqui cooks is SO good! Even my eight year old loves what is on her plate. In addition, on the days she cooks for us, she is a joy to have in our house. I no longer feel like I’m in the dark place I was when I first needed her help, but she’s still a remarkably bright ray of sunshine in our lives.”
