My Story

Cooking and baking, entrepreneurship, and wellness are all in my DNA. My Russian great-grandparents, who once owned a mini empire of bakeries in NY State, came to the U.S. in the early part of the 20th Century, bringing with them ancient curative treatments like cupping (bankes, as it is called in Yiddish) and delicious recipes for Jewish classics like matzoh ball soup and kreplach (dumplings) that remain family favorites to this day!

Unfortunately, my DNA is also responsible for a host of health issues. I’ve always looked for cures that treat the root cause of my ailments, and not just the symptoms. More than 20 years ago, I was introduced to Ayurveda, which literally means “life science” in Sanskrit, and the approach seemed intuitive and smart – harmony of the mind and body through the use of herbs, oils, fresh food, and incorporating some very easy lifestyle changes.
