What You’ll Learn

I’ve spent over a decade fermenting foods for families — what began as curiosity became a daily practice, and eventually, a quiet kind of magic in the kitchen.

In this session, I’ll share fermentation not just as a technique, but as a blend of science, tradition, and alchemy — a way to gently support your family’s gut health while bringing more ease and creativity into meals.

Together, we’ll explore:

• The foundations of fermentation — what it is, why it matters, and how it supports the gut

• Fermented foods my family eat - where to buy them and how to introduce them to your family.

• How to confidently start making fermented drinks at home.

• Simple, family-friendly recipes that fit into real life

• Practical strategies to reduce food stress and make nourishing habits feel achievable
  

What To Expect

• A warm welcome with homemade fermented drinks and seasonal, gut-loving snacks

• Gentle introductions and reflections (no pressure if it’s your first time)

• Introduction to Fermentation — meet my first love “Kevin the Kefir”

• Kefir Workshop — learn to make both water kefir and milk kefir

• Summer Recipe Demonstration — light, seasonal ways to use fermented foods at home

• Closing conversation, Q&A, and take-home resources
  

You’ll also leave with:

• Your own water kefir + milk kefir starters (SCOBYs)

• Recipe handouts and simple fermentation guides

• Ongoing support through the Gutsy community
  

If this is your first Gutsy event, you’ll receive a Gutsy Welcome Pack — a gentle introduction to microbes, gut health, and how it all fits into family life.

A Note From Me

This is not about perfection.

It’s about small, living shifts — a jar on the counter, a habit that sticks, a family that feels just a little more nourished.

I’d love to have you there.
