Hi! I’m Britta
— a health-supportive chef, workplace wellbeing educator, and curator of wellness experiences.
For nearly two decades, I’ve helped thousands of people—from individuals and families to professional athletes and public figures—transform how they feel through food.
A few years ago, my own life was turned upside down.
When the pandemic hit, my events business in New York came to an abrupt halt. Around the same time, my marriage ended—and the next morning I found out I was pregnant.
I moved across the country, navigating how I would rebuild my life and raise my daughter on my own.
Even though I’ve spent my career in the wellness world, there were seasons of my life—especially during times of stress and transition—when I relied on coping habits that didn’t truly support me.
This time, I knew I had to do something different.
So I made a promise to myself: to use what I knew as a health-supportive chef, along with the mindset practices I learned while living in Bali, to nourish myself deeply—from the inside out.
As I began moving through this chapter with more ease and steadiness, I noticed something else unfolding—the joy and calm my sweet Poppy felt each day. I knew, without question, it was connected to how I was nourishing myself.
From that lived experience—and a deep desire to support other women—the Mood Food Method was born.
I created this program to help you feel vibrant again. To move through life’s transitions with more grace, energy, and ease.
Tools that meet you where you are—and support you in real life.
This is the work I did when I needed it most.
And it’s the work I now teach other women.
So… are you ready to feel like you again?
Let’s nourish your body.
Let’s shift your mindset.
I want to help you live your most vibrant life.
For me, nourishment has never been about restriction.
It’s about balance. Listening to your body. Cooking with intention. And allowing room for joy at the table.
That philosophy has become the foundation of how I cook — and a big part of what inspired the Mood Food Method.
What You’ll Experience Each Week
When you press play each week, you step into a calm, light-filled kitchen.
It feels like a shift — like entering a culinary destination rather than logging into another online program.
The space is elevated yet the cooking is simple.
You’re not just watching someone cook.
You’re cooking alongside Chef Britta, preparing meals for your week.
Each week begins with a short grounding practice.
It feels like a mini retreat you return to week after week.
Together, you’ll prepare foundational meals for the week — a nourishing breakfast, vibrant salads with homemade dressings, and simple, satisfying dinners with recipes that build effortlessly from one another.
Most women spend about 2–3 hours preparing nourishing meals for the week, depending on their pace and experience in the kitchen. After that, many of your meals are already prepared or ready to come together in minutes throughout the week.
Each week builds upon the last, designed to empower you with the skills and confidence to nourish yourself with ease.
Britta will also share the pantry staples and ingredients she personally recommends — from oils and sea salts to spices and seasonal ingredients that bring dishes to life.
Think of it as a mini culinary school for real life — where you’ll learn the skills and techniques that make nourishing meals feel simple, beautiful, and satisfying to prepare.
