“Cooking was one of my passions since I was a little girl. I learned Italian cooking from my grandmother and Southern cuisine from my mother. Over the years I worked in many different types of places. My first job at sixteen was at Ocean Beach New London CT at Stand on the Sand. My first job as a chef was in Glastonbury CT at the Garden of Light. I took this job because I wanted to learn how to cook vegetarian food. From there I taught the youth from FRESH to cook. I’ve taught the Seniors at the Groton Senior Center cooking classes. My interest now is to teach the guests who eat at the New London Community Meal Center to cook. I’m planning on teaching healthy cooking.”

“At FRESH, we know that the relationship between food justice and racial justice is very real. Working together in our collective culture increases food access, community cohesion, self-esteem and green spaces across generations.
On September 17, 2022 at 9:30 AM, you will begin our event at the Mercer Street Community Garden, located on the corner of Mercer and Williams St. At that time of year, all five of our gardens will be overflowing with healthy vegetables, fruits, and flowers. We will walk a 2.5-mile circuit in New London to visit them all, viewing all the different ways FRESH grows food in our city. From snack beds to the large urban farm, walkers will see innovative urban farming techniques, get to sample seasonal crops, and learn more about each incredibly unique, reclaimed space.
At the end of the walk, there will be pizza from our outdoor woodfire oven, plants and merchandise for sale, music, and festivities.”

In this workshop, you'll learn:
my top 5 self-massage acupressure points to support your gut healing process
exactly how to find and treat those points on yourself
and the mental and emotional aspects of gut healing - according to Chinese Medicine wisdom in the spirit of loving kindness toward ourselves and our healing.
The self-acupressure routine you learn is a tool to support you if you're dealing with
digestive problems
issues with bowel function
other health concerns that could be gut-related (like asthma, eczema, or autoimmune disease)
or you're on a gut healing journey for any reason.
