Meet Melissa
Hi, my name is Melissa. A Photographer, Cook book Author, Private Chef, Intuitive Holistic Health Coach and Retreat Facilitator that loves to eat, travel and take photos. I live in London the United Kingdom. I'm a straight up wear your heart on your sleeve kind of girl who loves to laugh. So if you are obsessed with food, health, travel, all things wellness and a good time you have come to the right place because you will find amazing recipes, reviews and stories of adventures and wonderful upcoming retreats on my website.
This is my place where I want to create alchemy of all things food combined with a touch of wellness. I discovered mindful eating and it changed my life. I love to move my body and eat fresh real food as much and as often as possible. I also made two cookbooks about it all which you can find here.
What I do -
I work with restaurants, accommodation and amazing brands as both a Photographer, Health Coach, Food Stylist and Influencer and I would love to hear from you.
Please, no press releases and I don't host other people's work on my site. If I haven't shot it, I don't post it. I work as a full time professional photographer and should you require my services you have come to the right place. I also work as a food stylist/Private Chef and do catering for boutique private functions as well as for the retreats that I host. If blog posts are sponsored I will make mention of this and if you are interested in having your brand seen on my blog then pop me a mail, I would love to collaborate and create something perfect for your brand to market it the best way possible.
All the recipes on my blog are tried and tested (several times) by either myself, a loved one or have been handed down from generation to generation. You will find nothing but tasty recipes, amazing restaurants and the best travel spots on my blog! If I speak about it, it is because I truly enjoyed it! You also won't find any negativity here - it's not my style to complain. I would rather not share it and keep shining a light on what works!
Please do visit my retreats tab and email me if you have any questions. My retreats are inclusive and for anyone who is seeking to expand into an area of their life with kindness and growth. They truly are incredible and a life changing experience.
My message -
Sometimes it's a haphazard affair in my kitchen and my life. I occasionally make meals that flop and boil my eggs too hard but I’m ok with that, it keeps me honest. I am lucky enough to come from a long tradition of home cooks and I want to share my knowledge and blunders, in hope that somewhere I can be a lifeline to a home cook out there wanting to be better! I like honest food that makes people beg for seconds and speaks for itself. I believe in eating fresh, local and organic as much and as often as possible.
I believe in the deeper healing that is on offer to us through mindfulness work and I hope to create this space on my retreats, as a coach or at the events that I host. I would love to work with you on your growth game so please feel free to explore my offerings in this space should you feel called to shift blockages that are holding you back from being the happiest version of you!
I love to travel and adventure as often and as much as I can. I suppose it the old saying of, have bag will travel. I also share my adventures on the blog. Be it around the corner or over the oceans I am always on the hunt for great spots to visit and to eat at. I'm no authority and my experiences are my own. Hopefully through sharing them you will gain something or even just have help picking out a great spot for lunch!
Sign up for my newsletter or find me on social media if you want to stay in touch.
I hope you enjoy my outlook on life.
Always remember, make memories, make love and make food. Whatever the season.
