ABOUT

Intrinsic Beauty is a holistic lifestyle "start-up" company. 

The brand combines my love for healthy living, eating, cooking and entertaining. The name stems from the philosophy that our health and well being are integrally connected to what we eat and how we live. It’s about creating balance, feeling beautiful from the inside out, and celebrating life with delicious food that makes you feel good. 

Here on the blog, I share easy entertaining ideas, fresh whole-based seasonal recipes, and inspiration for a balanced and enriched life.

A Few Things About Me

I am California beach girl, married to an Irishman, living in New York City who escapes to the Connecticut countryside on the weekends. 

As a graduate student at NYU, I completed the Didactic Program in Dietetics. I am also a certified holistic health and nutrition coach.

Whether cooking for one or twelve, I focus on keeping the recipes simple and time friendly. I love sourcing ingredients from the farms in CT, and I am always exploring the local markets for inspiration.

I encourage cocktail hour, adore all things vintage, love wearing long gowns, and travel often.

I believe every day is a special occasion. 

Thanks for reading!
