catering + books
My passion for food as medicine was born through my retreat catering & facilitation work where I began creating nourishing and delicious recipes. This work eventually blossomed into my two cookbooks, which celebrate wholesome cooking, gut health, and the joy of cooking & eating in harmony with nature.
As a health coach and Kinesiologist, I specialize in blood-sugar-balancing, gut health optimization, detox, and sustainable meal-plan-design that restore energy, improve digestion, and foster long-term well-being. My integrative approach combines nutritional science with true nourishment and sustainability.
Marlien continues to share her knowledge through catering retreats, inspiring others to heal their relationship with food and to reconnect with the wisdom of their bodies and food as medicine.

well+being kitchen reboot
Surprisingly, yet most often, the path to greater meaning and harmony can be found in the seemingly mundane moments and daily practices such as spending time in our kitchen’s, the heart of our homes. No matter what we are juggling, we can cope with almost anything if we create a haven and rituals for ourselves that serve as the scaffolding that holds us up through the difficult seasons of our lives. When my life becomes unmanageable, I return without hesitation to my kitchen-cocoon, where I can cook up comfort, reconnect with my loved ones, and find calmness in the simple rituals that that provide a framework of stability and nourishment.
Within our ready-made food culture, the disconnect due to technology and fast our paced lives, we must find a meaningful way to reclaim our power to nourish and connect with our loved ones. When we discover the magnificence hidden in the mundane practice of cooking, we can heal our homely life, and create harmony where there was once dissonance.
Why should we leave this work that can give us purpose, make us valuable, and more connected to a supermarket chain?
Your kitchen is where you can facilitate deep connection, a love-laboratory where you can be creative and cultivate body & mind nourishment. When we embrace the humble work that nourishes us, we are free to go out into the world to adventure, and pursue our greater purpose, knowing that we are safely tethered.
