"I had the great opportunity of working with Marti soon after my Chef Training Program at the Natural Gourmet Institute. I was pretty unclear about what I wanted to pursue. The opportunities and knowledge that the school opened up was amazing . But for me to truly get the clarity of my next step was quite hazy. I decided to take Marti's Culinary Nutrition Business guidance for chefs and health professionals.
Her patience to listen and give advice opened up my awareness to several areas in the culinary side . She methodically advised, helped me structure, and choose from which education and career paths to focus. I also had the opportunity to assist her in a two day Alzheimer's and Dementia retreat . Working with her has been a huge learning experience, from understanding the sensibility and energy of food to the art of building flavours to healthy cooking. I feel so grateful to have had this opportunity to work with her . Her kindness and positive energy is addictive . She truly stands to be a role model."  Marina B.
