| Sandy's
Gourmet Productions was born out of a desire to provide gourmet, exotic, creative and personalized cuisine for a specialized market in Hawaii,
where Sandy resided from the Spring of 1992 to the Spring of 2002. After graduating from the University of California at Berkeley with a bachelor's degree in Anthropology, Sandy went to Hawaii for a 'vacation', planning to return to the Bay Area and pursue a graduate degree in Public Health... but her love of being in the kitchen and playing with food took over...
Her style of cooking is all her own with bits of exotic Pacific
Rim here and California Cuisine there, and always a sense of Whole,
Fresh, Healthful and Seasonal ingredients as a starting point.
Returning to the San Francisco Bay Area in the Winter of 2002,
Sandy has expanded her lifelong interest in health and wellness
to include Whole Food Cooking Classes, Workshops, and Personalized
Consultations. Sandy completed the Bauman College, Nutrition Educator and Nutrition Consultant programs to further these goals. She is now a Certified Nutrition Consultant with the state of California. Sandy is also a Certified Reiki Master and offers Reiki healing to individuals and teaches Reiki I and II to individuals and groups upon request.
Sandy's clients have been as diverse as premier Hollywood
actors, music and marketing industry leaders, and health
retreat leaders,
to families' special gatherings. Through this experience Sandy
has learned how to be discreet, professional and sensitive to
her clients' needs. An awareness that every situation requires
an assessment
of expectations and atmosphere is one of the special gifts that
she brings to her work.
Her goals are to provide services that delight the palate, eye,
and heart using the freshest seasonal and local ingredients available,
and to provide support and information to individuals seeking
to experience more joy and wellness in their lives. Her guiding
principles
are to support organic food production, small farms, sustainable
agriculture, and ultimately the health of the environment and
ourselves.
Sandy is an active member of The National Association of Nutrition Professionals (NANP), Slow Food USA, and The Weston A. Price Foundation in San Francisco, CA, and regularly attends professional nutritional seminars from companies such as Designs for Health, Standard Process, Metagenics, NANP annual conferences, and others. Sandy is also a member of ‘The Society for Designs for Health Nutritionists.’
