Restoring Your Health from the Inside Out
You are not alone. It's not just you. As a nation, we are in a gut health crisis.
Here's how the "standard American diet" is working out...
- More than 133 million Americans suffer from chronic inflammation, a precursor to every chronic disease
- Between 60-70 million Americans suffer from GI-related illnesses, creating more than $163 billion in healthcare costs - more than mental health and heart disease combined.
- More than 16 million Americans struggle with food sensitivities.
- More than 37 million Americans suffer from Type 2 Diabetes
If you want to learn a different way to nourish your body, mind, and spirit, I can help.

Does this sound like you?
Do you struggle with...
- Autoimmune diseases, gut health, food sensitivities or other digestion-related issues
- Difficulty coping with stress, anxiety, or depression
- Chronic pain, inflammation, or stiffness
- Lack of motivation, energy, or feeling brain-fogged
- Difficulty sleeping, staying asleep, or not feeling rested
If any of these symptoms sound familiar, I'm so glad you're here. Because every one of these issues starts in the gut.
Think about it.
If you eat three meals a day,
that's 1,095 meals in one year.
If you exercise every day
for one year,
that's 365 workouts.
Which will have more impact on your overall health?
Ayurveda has helped me find relief from decades of chronic stress, anxiety, food sensitivities, and inflammation. I feel younger and more vibrant than I've ever been. I'm able to sleep and wake up feeling rested and energized.

-Dr . HargerA 5/5 star experience from start to finish. Working with Chef Charlie was a private chef experience, cooking lesson, and nutrition master class all rolled into one. She took everyone's nutritional sensitivities, and medical histories into consideration, and delivered. Honestly, I thought the food was going to be too healthy and bland, but it was delicious. I've already booked another dinner, and you should, too!
-Molly KCharlie has been amazing teaching me how to cook and how to feed my body properly! Due to my autoimmune issue, I have struggled with trendy diets, going vegan, and just trying to get my gut health in order! With Charlie's experience and passion in the Ayurveda arts, she has taught me what foods to encourage, and what to avoid! Charlie can show you, too, how to make things like zucchini into scrumptious chocolate brownies and the best part...Charlie has been an essential asset to my overall health and wellbeing, her energy and knowledge for the Ayurveda arts is a unique gift I hope all can experience!
I can't recommend Chef Charlie enough. I don't have to be afraid of food anymore. I am empowered to make food choices at the grocery store and even while eating out, without constantly checking where the bathroom is. I don't have to set a timer in my head if I "eat the wrong things." I don't have to feel isolated by the food choices I need to make for myself, because what I'm eating looks beautiful, not just "healthy" and unappetizing.-Amy B.
