Our Story

The Therapeutic Kitchen Collective was born from a shared belief that the kitchen holds more than ingredients and recipes - it holds the power to heal, connect, and transform.

We’re building a global, inclusive, and collaborative community that celebrates the therapeutic power of cooking and baking to enhance mental wellness, empower self-discovery, and cultivate connection.

Brought together by a group of women working across the kitchen and wellbeing space, we aim to shine a light on the kitchen as a safe space, a place where mindfulness meets creativity, where emotions can be explored through movement, flavour, and ritual.

Our mission is to connect wellbeing professionals, chefs, coaches, and creatives who share a passion for the culinary arts as a tool for healing and growth. Together, we’re blending diverse skills and lived experiences to create workshops, resources, and opportunities that nourish both mind and body.

We aim to inspire a global movement that promotes the kitchen as a transformative space for human behaviour and well-being, enriching lives across continents. Our legacy will be defined as the pioneering collective that brought therapeutic kitchen activities to the forefront — creating a groundbreaking, safe, and supportive community.

Through our collective, we envision a unique space where like-minded professionals experience a profound sense of belonging, share innovative ideas, and develop new practices. We also seek to inspire a new generation of holistic wellness professionals who embrace the culinary arts as a vessel for delivering their purpose, establishing the kitchen as a respected form of art therapy alongside music, movement, and visual arts.

All members of the Therapeutic Kitchen Collective champion the profound impact of the culinary arts on mental and emotional well-being. We pledge to be the leading advocates for the healing power of cooking and baking, offering unwavering support, collaboration, and shared resources for professionals in this field.

Our commitment is to transform perceptions of the kitchen into a vital space for self-care and healing, while inspiring and empowering individuals by celebrating and advancing the role of the culinary arts in enhancing quality of life and overall well-being.
