Therapeutic Bread Making: A Holistic Approach to Baking

​

Before training as a therapist, I spent a decade as a professional sourdough bread baker. Over the years, I have taught hundreds of home enthusiasts the art of making nutritious sourdough, passing on a 100-year-old Lithuanian sourdough "mother" to begin their journeys.

Now, I bring this craft directly to you. I offer 1-to-1 bread-making tutorials from the comfort of your own kitchen. While the process is fun, practical, and delicious, it is also a powerful space to slow down, ground yourself, and reflect.

​

 

The Alchemy of the Loaf

​

Bread making is a deeply grounding, elemental practice. It is full of alchemy—from the cultivation of the grain to pulling a finished loaf out of the oven. The four natural elements are entirely alive in this process:

​

  • 🌍 Earth: The grounding flour and grains

  • 💧 Water: The hydration that binds it together

  • 🌬️ Air: The breath and rise of fermentation

  • 🔥 Fire: The heat that transforms raw dough into nourishment

  • ​

By engaging with these elements, baking becomes a mindful, tactile practice that helps connect your mind and body.
