We had such a wonderful time at our Chocolate Brunch Club in June. Thank you to everyone that helped and got chocolate wasted with us.
I was a bit afraid that chocolate everything would be overwhelming, but it was such a hit!
Excited for the next Brunch Club coming up in August. Stay tuned.

Brunch Club was a hit - we are GRATEFUL for the amazing help and everyone who came together to celebrate a Sunday. We had a wonderful time sharing about seasonal foods and enjoying a gluten-free, organic feast made with whole ingredients. We're already wishing we had some leftover coconut whipped cream! Hope to see you all again for March Brunch Club on the 14th. Happy Monday :)
The pictures from January Brunch Club are here! Our friend and talented photographer, Ana Kamin, did a beautiful job capturing the event. We are incredibly grateful for everyone who brought their wonderful energy to the brunch table. We hope you’ve been experimenting with your new quick and healthy breakfast recipes. (More photos on Facebook). The menu is set for the next Brunch Club and it’s another mouth-watering line up. Save the date 2/22 – more details to follow. Xo

Giovanna Garcia will give us tips to get our metabolism going and recipes for quick and healthy breakfast options. Crystal Sanders, Yoga Teacher for Yogafish, will show us simple stretches and breathing exercises to get our energy flowing in the morning and throughout the workday.

I'm so excited to say that our first brunch club was a success! The room was filled with like-minded and inspiring individuals. If I've learned anything in the past 4 years that I've been a nutrition & health educator (and going through my personal health journey), it's that health is so much more than 'what to eat and what not to eat.' It's truly about community and surrounding ourselves with people that are also on the path to optimal health and well-being.
I loved sharing this experience with everyone and opening up the opportunity for people to connect and support one another. The location was amazing as well - 18Reasons, it made the event that much better.
Thank you to everyone that attended, supported, and participated in making this day happen. Below are the beautiful captures of the September brunch club, taken by my lovely friend Erica Bean.
I cannot wait for the next one this month! Stay tuned for the date.

Join our Brunch Club if you're in the San Francisco Bay Area! I've been wanting to host an event to bring like-minded people together. What better way to do it over a nourishing brunch?
Brunch + Good Company + Therapeutic Chocolate + Open Forum
This event is for you if you're interested in learning a few things about health and wellness while indulging in a whole foods meal.
There will be an open forum with the topic of the month being: "I want to eat healthy, but..."
Anyone and everyone can participate in the open forum. We have a few suggested topics, but are not limited to them. The purpose of this brunch is to help and support each other through our individual health journeys. We are all in this together.
