intuitive, creative + caring
Retreat Cheffing
Embodied retreat hosts seek to create a deep sense of community in a short period of time, often with groups of complete strangers.
I help to make that happen by crafting intentional, inspiring meals that leave attendees feeling cared for, safe, connected, and nourished beyond food.
my philosophy
Being French, I focus on seasonal, local, made-from-scratch dishes and create menus tailored to your specific desires to reflect your intention as a host and for the retreats as a whole.
nourishment beyond foodHelping inspire your curated experience
Food is an integral part of any gathering, even more so during retreats where people are coming together to connect, release, resource, and relax.
As a retreat chef, I help provide not only peace around food but to delight the senses and to inspire an abundance mindset.
kind words“Rather than simply feeding the group, I view Shirley as an additional host whose efforts are just as valuable and beloved as the movement component. It truly is a collaboration that benefits all.
“It’s incredibly important to me to cultivate an environment where all of our senses are ignited. As a movement teacher, I feel as though I can lean on inviting an environment filled with touch, sight, and sound. Shirley can beautifully execute meals that make your taste and smell absolutely come alive.”
— Kara Duval, Founder of Range
how to work togetherAllow me to guide you
First, let’s connect over a call to get to know each other a little better. I want to hear about what exactly you are looking for as a transformational retreat host and I will share my experience and the customized services I provide during retreats.
From there, I will craft a menu proposal along with a quote. I do not have set pricing* as each retreat is unique and individualized.
Together, we will then determine if we want to move forward in our collaboration.
please note:
I tend to be booked out 6-8 months in advance.
As soon as you know the dates of your retreat, contact me so I can block them out in my calendar.
Pricing & What’s Included
I do not have set pricing as every retreat and event is customized based on your needs: dietary preferences, number of meals, plated vs buffet style, number of people, location. Once we go over all of these details, I will send you a menu proposal and pricing quote.
Most often, pricing is per person, with a guaranteed minimum. Cost includes menu planning, shopping/food costs, meal preparation and serving, an assistant when necessary and all cleanup. Accommodation and/or an additional travel fee may be required depending on event location.
I require a non-refundable deposit to confirm my services, and the remaining payment will be due at the end of the retreat.
