Welcome to

This Moment in Thyme

I’m a Montecito-based cook, host, and creative entrepreneur passionate about bringing people together through beautifully curated culinary experiences. For the past several years, I’ve hosted intimate cooking classes and lifestyle events in my home, blending seasonal cooking, wellness, and thoughtful brand partnerships. I love creating elevated yet approachable experiences that feel inspiring, welcoming, and deeply personal.

I'm a mom to 4 boys - doesn’t that say enough?!

Life with four boys means a lot of food—three meals a day, plus snacks (lots of snacks!). To make it healthy and affordable? That took some serious creativity, planning, and yes, a bit of budgeting too. But over time, I’m figuring it out—and  found ways to make meal prep feel manageable, even fun!

It wasn’t long before friends and family started asking for my tips and recipes. That’s when I realized I could build a community and share what I’d learned, so we could all embrace this moment in thyme, together.

Where food and community come together

Cooking is so much more than just making food. It’s a time for connection, laughter, and creating memories that last. My goal is for cooking to feel like something you look forward to—not a chore. Whether your toddler’s stirring the pot or your teen’s chopping veggies, the kitchen becomes a space where the whole family can come together. It’s about more than just the meal—it’s about building stronger bonds with the people you love, and making moments that matter.
