Culinary Coaching
Cooking with Confidence, Seasonality, and Herbs
Why Coaching: Cooking isn’t just about getting food on the table — it’s about how we relate to our bodies, our senses, and the rhythms of the seasons. When we cook with awareness, food becomes more than nourishment — it becomes a ritual of pleasure and connection.
Through coaching, I help you slow down and rediscover the sensual side of the kitchen: the aroma of herbs, the warmth of a simmering broth, the beauty of seasonal colors on your plate. Rooted in the wisdom of traditions like Ayurveda and folk herbalism, we explore how seasonal foods and gentle herbal infusions can bring balance, vitality, and joy to your everyday meals
Through personalized coaching, you’ll learn how to:
Cook with confidence — no more second-guessing what to make or how to make it.
Find ease in seasonal rhythms — meals that shift naturally with the time of year.
Weave herbs into everyday cooking — from simple infusions and teas to healing broths and vibrant flavors.
Create a supportive pantry — stocked with ingredients that make daily cooking nourishing, quick, and joyful.
Build rituals around food — turning everyday meals into grounding, sensual practices.

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Chelsea Shapouri
Chef, Herbalist and Ayurvedic Health Coach
I’m Chelsea — a chef, herbalist, and culinary guide with roots in both professional kitchens and farm-to-table living. For me, food has never just been fuel — it’s memory, story, ritual, and medicine.
My path has taken me from French pastry training at Le Cordon Bleu, through travels shaped by my Persian and French heritage, to the healing worlds of Ayurveda and folk herbalism. Along the way I learned that cooking isn’t about rigid rules or perfect technique — it’s about finding confidence, pleasure, and connection in the kitchen.
Through coaching, I help you slow down and rediscover cooking as a daily rhythm that nourishes body, mind, and spirit. Together we’ll explore seasonal recipes, simple herbal infusions, and ways to make your meals feel both grounding and alive.
When I’m not in the kitchen, you’ll usually find me tending herbs and flowers on the farm, wandering with my dog, foraging, or gathered around a long table with loved ones. These rhythms of land, food, and community are what I bring into every session.
🌿 My promise: to help you create a kitchen that feels like home — alive with flavor, herbs, and seasonal abundance..
