Scotty brings over 25 years of culinary expertise to these retreats. He was always been inspired to cook because he has loved food as early as he can remember. When he was 5 years old, he recalls eating fresh crab and lobster with his grandmother.

“I love nourishing others with my creative and flavorful healthy dishes.”

While he did grow up eating out in restaurants a lot he wanted to to be able to enjoy food at home more. This way he could have control of the ingredients he was using and the ones he was avoiding. While Scotty does eat all kinds of foods he is also certified in plant-based nutrition and has experimented with all types of Diets in order to find what works best for his body and encourages others to do the same.

“Everybody is unique and reacts to different types of food differently. I believe optimal health is attained by eating whole foods and avoiding processed foods as much as possible.”

Scotty loves to delve into understanding the healing powers of food and believes that the most powerful way to connect with nature and with health is through food. He works every day to better understand what seasonal foods most effectively nurture health for his clients and loves to generously share this knowledge with them.

He believes that the difference between living and THRIVING lies in adding a more mindful diet into their lifestyle. Scotty is also a certified Breathwork Coach and will be offering morning and evening breathwork sessions on the retreat. Breathing is the foundation of life! His goal is to help others bring conscious thought into their breathing in order to improve the foundation for long-term lifestyle optimization.

Scotty is also in the transformation business and is a Certified Life Coach. Through his work, he helps others realize their full potential and change their lives through massive action.
