Alyssa's Culinary Journey to Wellness
Alyssa’s love for food started when she was just 14, working as a dishwasher in a small Italian restaurant. What began as a job quickly turned into curiosity, then passion. Over the past 15+ years, she’s worked in a variety of kitchens, learning hands-on, asking questions, and soaking up knowledge from the chefs and cultures around her.
Growing up with a Jamaican background, Alyssa naturally brings bold flavours, vibrant ingredients, and soulful touches into everything she creates. Her approach to food honours tradition while embracing wellness and the power of whole foods. Through Kulima Wellness, she now blends her love for cooking with her passion for helping others feel confident in the kitchen and supported on their wellness journey.
She offers interactive workshops, personalized coaching, and chef-curated meal services that make health approachable, actionable, and sustainable—helping people implement wellness into their lives with intention, joy, and lasting results
In 2017, Alyssa launched The Taste, providing meal prep and catering services. She quickly saw how food can bring people together, spark connection, and inspire wellness. Through Kulima Wellness, she combines her culinary expertise, coaching experience, and lifelong passion for whole foods to empower individuals and communities
Her ultimate goal: cultivating lasting habits and sharing generational knowledge to inspire wellness for life.
