Nourish and Soothe
Therapeutic Cooking for Mind-Body Renewal
A gentle reset for your nervous system, meals, and peace of mind.
Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your meals lately?
You’re not alone and…
You don’t have to navigate this season alone either.
Nourish and Soothe is a wellness program that offers more than recipes.
It’s a space where food meets comforting care.
Where the stove becomes a place of grounding, healing, and joy.
Meet Dr. Michelle
I’m a mindfulness consultant and practitioner who found healing at the stove, during the hardest chapters of my life.
The seeds of Nourish and Soothe were planted by my mother. She modeled what it meant to prioritize wellness, even when it meant making hard changes like transforming our family meals for her heart health.
Those seeds took root as I quietly navigated depression during my teens and early adulthood. They deepened during a painful divorce. And they grew stronger when I left my role as a health science professor to focus fully on healing work.
Through it all, cooking has been my anchor. It’s helped me to regulate my nervous system, soothe anxiety, recuperate from depression, reverse pre-diabetes, and reconnecte to a deeper sense of well-being.
I believe that food is more than fuel.
It can serve as medicine for the body, heart, mind, and soul.
~Dr. Michelle Beadle Holder

Testimonial
“I lost 30 lbs over the last few years and also battled breast cancer (early stage thankfully). I credit Dr. Michelle’s initial workshops with helping me to see different ways to look at good tasting food. I am working on the second 30. I packed on a lot of weight when battling grief, but back to the good news. I am no longer pre-diabetic. People should know when their seeds helped others sprout in the best of ways.” -Te Bell
