About

What began as a childhood love of cooking in her grandmother’s kitchen slowly grew into a career in helping people eat healthier and be happier.

Pamina is a Certified Clinical Nutritionist (CNC) with a Master’s Degree from the University of California. She is also a classically trained chef — having received her chef’s coat from Laguna Culinary Arts (LCA) — and a former Culinary Instructor for LCA.

For the past decade, Pamina has worked with people with a vast array of dietary needs, specializing in patients with celiac disease, dairy intolerances and many other dietary sensitivities.

In addition to her education and technical skills, Pamina is also a mother who can relate to busy family schedules and the challenge of eating healthfully.
