Coaching and Cooking Classes
Are you ready to change your eating habits but don't know where to start? Work with me to assess your goals, improve your grocery choices, revive your pantry and learn to cook new dishes.
Do you want cooking to seem effortless? Learn cooking basics: how to cut up a vegetable, how to mind a kitchen or bake bread. Or, just improve your meal planning and grocery shopping skills! Cooking classes are tailored to the individual’s or group’s interests and skill level. Soup, salad, easy lunches, quick delicious dinners and low sugar desserts can all be prepared in the time it takes to listen to your favorite CD! Ask about catering for small events.
Organic Garden Design and Installation
Gardens provide both physical and spiritual nourishment, whether providing fresh vegetables to harvest for meals, or as a place to sit and gather one’s thoughts. I design and install gardens which can provide organic herbs and produce for your table and serve as a sanctuary for mental respite and for entertaining.
What people are saying…
“JuJu has a talent for making simple, yet delicious meals from few ingredients and creating a sanctuary where people feel comfortable, cared for & safe.” Monique D
“Entering JuJu’s home is a balm to the soul. Not because it is somehow perfect in every way, but because her home radiates love and acceptance. Your home can be like JuJu’s--do yourself that favor and let her create your nurturing space.” Suzanne T
"JuJu is one part fairy godmother, one part good witch. Her garden is incredible — great tangles of flowers and honey bees and roses and vegetables climbing trellises, and always another bed being laid. Her food bears the same stamp of wild and whimsy & fundamental integrity." Pam H
Services to support peaceful parenting
New Parent Care and Education A postpartum doula provides information on infant feeding, emotional and physical recovery from birth, mother–baby bonding, infant soothing, and basic newborn care all while fostering confidence and independence and nurturing the entire family. The first weeks postpartum can be filled with joy, as well as apprehension, as you welcome your newborn babe. Assistance with preparation of nourishing meals, the creation of a well-organized home, place and time dedicated to self-nurturance and help with care of the entire family are all necessary in easing the adjustment that the birth of a baby creates. My goal is to empower you and teach you the skills needed to be as confident and functional as possible as you and your child begin your lives together.
Restorative Meals Planning and Preparation Eating healthily and regularly will help you regain and maintain the strength needed to care for yourself and your family. I use the freshest ingredients available, focusing on seasonal produce, to create meals that will re-energize your body and spirit. We’ll work together to create a personalized menu for your household. Your meals will be carefully prepared from scratch and conveniently stored in your fridge with instructions for you to heat and enjoy as you wish.
Prenatal Home Organization You’ll rest easier knowing that your home is orderly and ready to receive your new baby. Prepare the entire home, not just the nursery for the child’s arrival so you’ll have more time for the important work ahead--that of caring for your baby, yourself and your family. I assess which organization style works best for your personality and help you create a nurturing environment for you and your baby.
