Imagine that you could understand the unique inner road map that you alone hold

for aligning with your highest potential,

healing old wounds,

and recovering essential parts of yourself.

Intuitive energy healing excels at uncovering the interpretations each individual gives to life’s

traumatic events that can lead to chronic illness and toxic conditions… (see Services & Offerings)

What do you most need…

Intuitive healing sessions, a speaker & ceremony, or classes to awaken your creative juices?

Healing occurs by growing a reverence for the sacredness of all life  ̶  plants, animals, and yes, even your own. That’s why my focus is always on how we can nourish and support your way back to health rather than create a battle ground.

Given that food is ultimately our first medicine, I’ve also discovered we glean even greater nourishment by bringing gratitude with intention and attention to the act of eating and the preparation of food. Joining my work of over 20 years in the Healing Arts with over 35 years of cooking experience has brought me to a renewed understanding of our place in the web of life and consequently the birth of my new book-

You’ll be reminded that to eat is the everyday necessity that insists that life and death meet one another in order for nourishment to take place, and that we are all participants in this transformation—that no food comes to us without this conversation occurring.

My experiences as a chef, caterer, herbalist, homemaker, intuitive healer, and health coach have given me a unique perspective that I hope will inspire a renewed interest in cooking and gratitude for all that is given.

Praise for Seasoned with Gratitude

Seasoned with Gratitude is a sensuous and spiritual treat—thanks to Lafond’s reverence for food, cooking, eating, and the relationship between these three and what she calls “The Great Mystery.” Along with each recipe, she offers “blessings of gratitude and connection,” including this traditional Sufi blessing: “May this food nourish not only my body but my soul.” Seasoned with Gratitude is the best guide I know to make that happen!
Rivvy Neshama, Author of Recipes for a Sacred Life: True Stories and a Few Miracles
Readers need look no further for a comprehensive cookbook returning us to a simple truth: love is metabolized in every cell of the body.” Seasoned with Gratitude connects readers back to this truth and the source of our earthbound nutrition—ingredients grown locally, sustainably harvested, and raised ethically. I would send our next generation off to college with this complete and nourishing cookbook, gift it to someone recovering from illness, and recommend it to anyone interested in a sustainable and renewable earth.
Christina Donnell, Author of Transcendent Dreaming
Kathryn Lafond’s Seasoned with Gratitude is not only a terrific cookbook filled with nutritious, healthy, and beautiful recipes, it’s a journey that reminds us to connect with the foods we eat in a deeper and more meaningful way—and it teaches us that the very act of cooking is an honor to engage in and something that can heal and balance us. “In today’s world, when days often pass at the speed of light, there are few things more soul-comforting than cooking a meal for ourselves and our loved ones. As Kathryn so aptly puts it: ‘My entire being cooks—my hands, my heart, my senses, and my spiritual nature.’ This is something all of us who cook can aspire to.
Tracey Ryder, Cofounder, Edible Communities
Seasoned with Gratitude is a magnificent collection of recipes, but it is much more as well—a celebration of the alchemy of cooking and the magic of nutrition, of life itself.
Larry Dossey, MD, Author of One Mind
How would we act if we knew the most sacred room in the house was the kitchen? Kathryn Lafond answers this question in her marvelous book, Seasoned with Gratitude. The result is a delicious blend of the sacred and the savory—a cook’s book complementing recipes with meditations, folk wisdom with current scientific research, to expand the meaning of our holistic relationship to food. I’m planning to make a place for it on my bookshelf between Laurel’s Kitchen and The Omnivore’s Dilemma, and I suspect you’ll want to as well!
Alice Peck, Author of Bread, Body, Spirit

We know that food is sacred and that when we prepare meals with love we are infusing physical nourishment with metaphysical substance, but hectic schedules and spiritual forgetfulness make it challenging to match up our intentions with action. In Seasoned with Gratitude, Kathryn Lafond offers an array of scrumptious recipes with an equally delectable menu of blessings, prayers, and practices to help elevate and integrate body, heart, and soul.

Mirabai Starr, Author of God of Love and Caravan of No Despair
