Amy and Denise are dear friends with deep bonds formed from a love of great food, empowered healing, color, beauty, and our relationship with the natural world. We are students of the chakra energy system, and have applied our learnings to our own lives in a variety of ways - largely through the five senses!

After many hours of joy-filled co-creating about how to bring this wisdom to those we love, Chakra Dinners was born!

Meet Denise

Denise is a Functional Nutrition Educator, Holistic Health Coach, Healthy Cooking Instructor, Plant-Based Chef, astrology student, designer, and Ayurveda enthusiast. Denise believes whole-heartedly that food makes a profound impact on who we are, and that the ceremony of eating together is a healing act.

Denise’s Health + Wellness practice is called S E E D and it is where she teaches, cooks, and offers personal and group support for improving digestion, supporting hormonal health and fertility, reducing pain and inflammation, and more— all through food and lifestyle adjustments. Denise takes a whole systems approach to healing by connecting the health of the body, the mind, and the spirit with the food we eat, our relationships, our environment, our work, and the emotions we express.

From an early age Denise was fascinated by the role emotional health has on the health of the physical body. The dynamic relationship between thoughts, feelings, and the manifestation (or eradication!) of disease, is illustrated via the chakra system in a beautiful way! Working with the chakras has had a profound impact on Denise's personal health, as well as the health of her clients. Viewing the food we eat through the lens of the chakras creates an energetic, sensual, colorful shift to perception!

Denise is thrilled to have the opportunity to bring these concepts to the table through the Chakra Dinner event!
