Sourdough for the Soul

Although I’m not a professional baker, I am a professional teacher—with decades of experience guiding, empowering, and encouraging others to become their best. As a former Director of Education overseeing 4,000 employees and having personally taught over 650 sourdough students, I’ve built a life around helping people grow in skill and confidence. I’ve also catered events in the past, blending creativity with nourishment. In my sunset years, I’ve chosen to pour that same teaching heart into sourdough. My classes are less about perfection and more about purpose—combining the science of fermentation with the soulwork of healing, patience, and joy. I even keep a hotline open for students who need extra encouragement. Whether you’re brand new or looking to deepen your skills, I’ll meet you right where you are—with warmth, wisdom, and maybe a little flour on my hands.
