Hey there, I’m Milan 👋

A little about me:

Imagine us sitting with coffee and a fresh lavender candle flickering. I’ve spent years as a Gourmet Plant Base & Mediterranean style gourmet chef to private clients, food-styling enthusiast, teaching cooking classes (online & local), holistic health coach, and herbalist — and I live in Chicago, I speak French fluently (oui!), I’ve been married for 33 years, and and my home is a reflection of my evolving story—eclectic, elegant, always growing.

What I discovered along the way is that wellness isn’t about restriction or perfection—it’s about feeling good, being truly nourished, and living in a way that reflects our inner elegance.

 Here’s how I landed here:

Life got full (really full). Modeling, gourmet food, wine tastings, studying health, caring for my husband’s feisty 96-year-old mother, menopause hit with full force — hot flashes, sleepless nights, overwhelm.

One afternoon, sitting in my car, tears streaming — I realized I had stopped caring for me. That was the turning point.

Now? I help professional women who are busy, doing it all, and maybe feeling disconnected from their vibrant selves.

And we adopt one golden rule: Chic women don’t diet. They nourish. They savour. They live well.

 Let’s build a life that grows with you.
With a touch of French flair, soft candlelight, and a glass of something you love — Milan
