ethos
We believe in learning from our food & consider it a vessel for empowering real health
Every individual is unique and receives nourishment in different ways
We support our wellness by bringing awareness to our senses & feelings in relation to the world around us. Then we discover how to respond in authentic and balanced ways. Our food is nature’s diversity. It connects us to all aspects of beautiful life, including our own bodies. We are so grateful to be on this journey of exploration as we play with our food & create nourishment for feeling good.

AYURVEDA, like nature, teaches us how to be adaptable
At INRTHM, we are all about using food inspired by change for optimal wellness
Ayur (life) Veda (wisdom) is a holistic approach to well being that recognizes the intimate connection between the environment, body, mind and spirit. It teaches us the qualities of nature and how they present in us. Its food & lifestyle practices sync with circadian & seasonal changes that have inherently balancing benefits, empowering us to strengthen, regenerate & revitalize naturally. *imbalances and illnesses are considered preventative when eating & living in harmony with our environment.
An Ayurvedic approach to nourishment is based on its understanding of health as holistic harmony within and without, how our qualities meet the qualities of our environment. All of life is composed of space, air, fire, water and earth in varying patterns. This is what creates the individual’s unique constitution and the diversity of life’s experiences such as landscapes, foods, seasons, climates, times of life, emotions and everything in between, gross and subtle. Bringing awareness to the elements & how their qualities express in our inner & outer worlds is the foundation for determining how and what to eat.
