Healthy Food Content Creator and Holistic Recipe Developer
You’re doing meaningful work—and you want your food content to reflect that.
Whether you're a practitioner, publisher, or just someone trying to make wellness more approachable, I’m here to help bring your vision to life with thoughtful recipes, beautiful photography, and calm collaboration.
Hi! I’m Andrea Livingston.
With over twenty years experience as a culinary-trained Holistic Chef and content creator, l specialize in recipe development, food styling, and photography. My personal journey with growing food and embracing food-as-medicine profoundly influences my thoughtful approach to developing and photographing recipes. In a previous chapter of my life, I managed my own organic farm and worked on various farms and market gardens across Central America, California, Hawaii, Washington, and Oregon. There, I created seasonal produce recipes for farmers market customers and Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) members. While serving as the manager of the organic garden at Bastyr University for Natural Medicine, I developed a gardening curriculum and co-created a farm-to-table cooking program with the Nutrition Department.
In 2008, I further honed my culinary skills by completing the intensive Associate Chef and Instructor Training Program at the Living Light Culinary Institute, which focuses on plant-forward cuisine. Since then, l've collaborated with functional medicine doctors, wellness practitioners, natural food brands, cookbook authors, publishers, and agents to create engaging culinary content that resonates with diverse audiences.
