arden sanchez
Arden is a certified birth doula with extensive knowledge in nutrition and Ayurvedic, ancestral, gluten-free, seasonal cooking. Through her doula work, cooking, and photography, Arden shares her unique expression of love and intimacy. She believes that food connects us to what it truly means to be human, to be cared for, and to be safe. Having been diagnosed with Celiac and IBS at a young age she began a deep journey into nutrition and nourishment, which she combines with a long held calling towards birth and mothering.
"My fondest memories of my youth are watching my mother create the dishes that have built the fundamentals for all of the cooking I do and how I felt so cared for. That’s why I cook. To create food that evokes memories, nourishes the body and tells a story.”
