Ricki with    WSA Transforming Video 3 Women      Food and Lifestyle are the keys to your health.

I empower and serve people to create and experience radically healthier, richer, more productive and joy-filled lives with food.

A Long Island, NY native, I’ve also lived in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, and now call Houston, Texas home. My favorite place is still the Rockies – where I find peace and inspiration serving as a Certified Nutritionist, chef, coach, speaker, best-selling author, and grandma. “More than 25 years of combined holistic health practice and lifestyle coaching, for women and men who are making life changes, gives me the diverse experiences that inspire my writing, speaking, consulting, and Zoom shows where I demonstrate how to bring nutritious, delicious, and healthy together.

My Zoom class-career began in March of 2020, as weekly interactive classes on intuitive cooking and food prep: “PAN-Tuitive Cooking.” They have morphed into Rickiskitchen – on 4 Thursday’s/month and Patreon.com/rickiskitchen, where I post the current nutrition information and recipes.

As a founding member of The holistic Center for Human Flourishing, in Carbondale, Colorado, I began speaking about health and nutrition to the in public in 2001, and writing a weekly column for the Aspen Daily News. I am a contributing member of the National Association of Nutritional Professionals, Zonta Club International, and The Wellness Universe, where we are making the world a better place, through our holistic wellness work.  My first solo book, YES YOU CAN EAT WELL and EAT RIGHT, and Find the Joy of Cooking, is available here, from The Wellness Universe Library, directly from me on Rickiskitchen.net, and on Amazon as is my newest collaboration, Gifts of Wisdom.

As a Functional Certified Nutritionist, Coach, Chef and speaker, I create awareness and advise re: alternatives to drugs as possible solutions. You ‘ll learn to  control (type II) diabetes, high blood pressure, weight management and cholesterol with non-drug therapies, food, and simple lifestyle modifications.
