Welcome to my canvas. I’m an entrepreneur, brand designer, plants chef and a passionate advocate of food as art & medicine. From medical school to fleeing war in Iraq, my journey started in preventative health and nutritional counseling in Canada, then transitioned into marketing as I relocated to the US. What started as a necessary solution to my son’s-dairy allergy, quickly sparked a conscious exploration to create pure and dairy-free cheese & dessert alternatives for my family and friends. Planthropie was born in 2018 and quickly transformed into our flagship home in 2020 offering living plant based cheese and dessert that catered to many dietary needs. Planthropie bridges my background in medicine, ancient wisdom, science, artistry and passion for food as art & medicine.
​
My mission is to showcase the beauty and wholeness of food, to create phenomenal alternatives to traditional cheese and dessert without compromising ingredients, health, flavor and experience. I’m a firm believer in food as information, that you can indulge and nourish your body with food that’s meant to fuel and heal you. At Planthropie, we’re breaking through old paradigmes and birthing a new breed of living cheese and dessert that are kind to your mind, body and soul.

Currently, when I’m not creating, I continue to dive into functional medicine, personal growth, nutrition & health coaching.

Plant good, eat kind
