I’M BACK!! After a little time away, I’ve come home to the jungle, slowed down, and remembered what truly brings my soul happiness.

Being in the kitchen.
Cooking nourishing food.
Sharing it with others.

For me, food has always been more than fuel.
It’s care.
It’s presence.
It’s medicine.

I feel deeply grateful to return to creating meals that are rooted in whole, simple, plant-based ingredients and made with intention to support digestion, hormones, energy and overall wellbeing.

Next week I’m restarting my local meal service and stay tuned for upcoming community dinners & events!

If you’ve been here for a while, thank you for trusting me with your nourishment. If you’re new, welcome ❤️

TASTE & CONNECT has a new date!

We rescheduled to make sure more of our community can attend. A pre-season evening for our Santa Teresa wellness + hospitality community with plant-based canapés, a beautiful buffet, herbal elixirs @the.tea.room.cr , live music @luismiguelcosio and sunset views @villa_alba_costarica .

THE PLANET IS US

Our food comes from this beautiful planet. The Earth is inside of us, in each morsel of food, in the air we breathe, in the water we drink and that flows through us. Enjoy being part of the Earth and eat in such a way that allows you to be aware that each bite is deepening your connection to the planet.

Have you heard of Bioresonance Scans?

Recently I tried something new, a bioresonance scan with meta-therapy.

The scan picked up things that finally made sense of what I’ve been going through:
•Erosive gastritis & a stomach ulcer (explaining the gut issues I’ve been having)
•Tuberculosis (why I couldn’t shift the cough lingering for so long)

It was eye-opening to see how this kind of therapy can highlight underlying imbalances in the body. While I’m still on my healing journey, having this clarity helps me understand my symptoms so much better.

Bioresonance scans use electromagnetic frequencies to detect stress in different organs and cells, and meta-therapy aims to help bring the body back into balance. For me, it’s been another tool in connecting the dots in my health story.

Have you ever tried bioresonance or a holistic diagnostic tool before? I’d love to know your thoughts…

#holistichealth #functionalmedicine #alternativemedicine

Food should be more than fuel, it should delight every sense! The colours that catch your eye. The aroma that draws you in. The textures that excite your palate. The flavours that awaken your body. Even the sound of a good crunch.

When we eat with all our senses, food becomes an experience—one that nourishes both body and soul.

Sneak Peek Recipe from my upcoming eBook! 📚

This is the Ultimate Bean Chili—comforting, hearty, and packing 30g of plant-based protein per serving.

I couldn’t decide which way I love it more…
1) Served in a bowl with brown rice and creamy guacamole
2)Piled onto a baked sweet potato with chunky avocado

Both are delicious, but I want to know: Which would you choose?

Our health journeys are rarely linear… and right now I’m in one of those humbling chapters.

After traveling, I pushed my body too hard—airplanes, airports and too much citrus-ginger tea has left me with an irritated stomach lining. So for now, I’m slowing down, stepping back from acidic foods and focusing on being gentle with my gut.

I’ve been vegan for six years, but my relationship with my health goes back much further. I’ve struggled with chronic PMS, cystic acne, stress, dandruff, hair loss, back and chest acne and more. Each challenge has taught me something about resilience, balance and the power of food as medicine.

This season is another reminder that healing is ongoing and our bodies are always speaking to us. My job is to listen, adapt and continue nourishing with love 🧡

If you’re going through your own health journey, know that you’re not alone #healthjourney

Lately I’ve been reminded how powerful food is, not just as fuel but as a daily act of care 🙏🏼

Food can be grounding.
Colourful. Healing. Ritual.
A reminder that your body deserves to feel good — every day.

While travelling (and a little indulging), I find myself drawn back to whole, vibrant, nourishing meals and still prioritise cooking. It’s my way of staying connected, present and balanced.

This is why I love creating nourishing dishes for others. It’s not really about the food, it’s about how it makes you feel 🧡

BIG NEWS - EBOOK COMING SOON! 📚

For the love of good food 🌱💚

I started my local meal service because cooking is my love language and there’s nothing more fulfilling than sharing that with my community!

My mission? To make healthy, whole food delicious, accessible and exciting. To show that plant-based eating can be vibrant, satisfying and deeply nourishing. To raise awareness around the power of food as medicine ~ because what we eat truly matters.

And so Pura Verde was born! Serving you up pure greens, pure goodness and pure health, straight from the earth to your plate.

Every dish is made with care, using fresh, local, seasonal ingredients and always with sustainability in mind. Supporting local farmers, reducing waste and serving meals in compostable packaging is all part of the story.

Thank you for letting me nourish you 🫶🏽 Maddi

Will a green juice today make up for the wine last night?

Whilst fruit & vegetable juices contain essential vitamins & minerals and replenish electrolytes in a way water cannot it doesn’t really work like that…

I’m not telling you to swear off alcohol completely but here’s the reality: your body needs time to process alcohol, around 1 hour per drink to metabolise. But it can take up to 3 DAYS for the effects to fully leave your system.

Alcohol affects hydration, liver function, cardiovascular system, brain function, skin health, hormones, metabolism, sleep quality, digestive system and gut health!!

Be mindful of your alcohol consumption & make informed choices. When it comes to wellness sometimes less is more; cut back, detox, go sober & swap your evening tipple for a nutritious mocktail! Your body will thank you 💚

✨ Cacao: The Sacred Elixir of Mayan & Aztec Wisdom ✨

Cacao, often referred to as “Food of the Gods,” was revered by ancient Mayan and Aztec civilizations for its potent medicinal and spiritual properties 🍫🌿

❤️ Heart Opener & Mood Booster: Cacao was consumed in ceremonies to open the heart and deepen connections. It’s rich in theobromine, which promotes relaxation and elevates mood, helping to release emotions and enhance feelings of love and compassion.

🧠 Boosts Mental Clarity: High in magnesium and antioxidants, cacao was believed to sharpen the mind and energize the body, making it a favorite for warriors and rulers.

🌱 Nourishing & Healing: Used as a medicinal tonic, cacao is packed with vitamins, minerals, and flavonoids that support cardiovascular health, reduce inflammation, and boost overall vitality.

💫 Whether enjoyed in ritual or as a daily superfood, cacao carries ancient wisdom that continues to nourish us today 💫

Have you experienced the power of cacao in your life? If in the area make sure to visit @indigenacafe for the most magical experience!

I’m OBSESSED with the power of plants, sustainability (personal & planetary) and the deep connection that is cultivated when enjoying good food with others 🌱🌎❤️

Not ALL foods are created equal, prioritise the quality of ingredients in your life because WHAT YOU EAT MATTERS!

Food is powerful, it can hurt or heal you. Food extends beyond fuel for your body, it energises your thoughts and infuses your life. Food is always better shared 🫶🏽
