I was born and raised in the kitchen, starting my cooking career with Nana’s classic Italian recipes before graduating to wholesome, natural food recipes of my own design. My love for mental, spiritual, and physical health blossomed during my experience of healing holistically from both an eating disorder and chronic illness. I now spread the word on wellness through my blog, Rise to the Sun, and elsewhere across the web while embodying the true #urbanhippie lifestyle on the side.
