ABOUT

Hi, my name is Inés.

Here, I offer my services as a plant-based private chef and private yoga teacher.

I've always had a love for movement and sport — from swimming, tennis, padel, hiking, netball, and rounders to squash and hockey, competing in the latter two at county level. It was through these physical pursuits that I was introduced to both plant-based nutrition and yoga.

DISCOVERING YOGA & PLANT-BASED FOOD

In 2018 when I was an active squash player, I was in a car accident in which my foot was run over. Due to my own stubbornness and eagerness to return to sports, I never properly recovered. When COVID arrived and I no longer had access to physiotherapy, I began exploring healing in my own way — sitting in gentle stretches and breathing into my injury. As I did so, I began to notice how this was improving my injury. It also introduced me to meditation and mindfulness; observing the connection between physical, mental and emotional tension.

This led me into incorporating yoga into my life alongside sports.

Once I healed and got back into sports, I wanted to optimise my energy levels, lighten my digestion and support recovery which led me to fully adopt a plant-based lifestyle in 2021.

EXPERIENCE

Along the way, I’ve been committed to expanding and refining my skills. Completing my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2022. Sharing my practice since then, using yoga not only to support other sports but also as a powerful tool for releasing the mental and emotional tension we can carry in the body.

, I graduated from Le Cordon Bleu London in 2023, where I expanded my understanding of plant-based culinary arts.

During my time at university, I founded a small herbal blends business called Tierra Blends which marked the beginning of my business ventures that aimed to find natural and healthier solutions to everyday problems. It started as a way to create healthy alternatives to smoking tobacco — using soothing, natural herbs. Over time, the project evolved into crafting functional drinking herbal blends designed to support anxiety, sleep, concentration, and digestion. This deepened my interest in holistic health, and inspired me to explore the healing properties of plants.

Since then, I have been teaching yoga, creating plant-based meals, and am currently studying plant-based nutrition to further enrich the health-supportive aspect of my offerings.

PHILOSOPHY

What began as a desire to improve my health and athletic performance has evolved into a new set of values and a vision for the world. A world of harmony and peace that I would like for my children to grow up in. I don’t follow rigid labels or movements; I simply believe in creating a world where humans and animals can live freely, where we nourish ourselves with vibrant, life-giving food, and where we move in harmony with nature.

Perfection isn’t the goal, but this is my vision of a happy world: one where we eat in a way that supports both the health of us humans and the health of our planet. Strengthening our connection to nature and advocating for peace in this world, right from the roots. I believe that when nature and animals are happy, the greater forces of nature, which are beyond human control, can also rest in balance.

Ultimately, I believe the challenges we see in the world can be healed if each of us turns inward. When we clean up our own mental and physical landscapes and do our best to avoid inflicting harm, we create a ripple effect. From this personal foundation, a better world can emerge.
