Nourishment as Healing: Reiki, Food + Joy with Chef Sarah Maryatt-Worden

In this radiant episode of The Authentic Creative, I dialogue with the joyful, gifted, and deeply heart-centered Chef Sarah Maryatt-Worden, our Reiki Chef for the upcoming Reiki I & II Certification Retreat this July 21–23 in Camas, WA and co-host of the Goddess of Light Retreat this September 29–October 2. Sarah has over 25 years of culinary experience, and her love for nourishing others is absolutely contagious. In this conversation, we explore the magic that unfolds when cooking becomes a sacred act of healing—when intention, intuition, and joy are infused into every dish. We talk about: 🌿 The early experiences that shaped Sarah’s love for food and her mother’s Julia Child–inspired kitchen 🌿 Her awakening as a Reiki healer, and how energy work transformed her relationship with cooking 🌿 Nourishing others through illness, grief, postpartum care, and celebration 🌿 How food can be a love language for the nervous system 🌿 What she’s planning for our retreat menus (think chia pudding with mango, coconut-poached cod, citrus-infused steelhead, and healing soups) 🌿 Her vision for Reiki Wellness Catering and how she’s showing up to serve families, retreat spaces, and busy mamas with love-infused meals Sarah brings joy, playfulness, reverence, and decades of experience to this beautiful, nourishing path. If you’ve been craving soul food—not just for your body, but for your heart and spirit—this conversation will stir something alive in you. 🎧 Listen in and discover: – How Reiki can be woven into your everyday routines, including the way you cook – The healing power of food made with care, presence, and intention – Why your joy, your softness, your intuition are needed now more than ever 🌸 Ready to be nourished in person?
