Our Story
Luscious Lorraine’s began with a simple belief: food should heal, energize, and connect.
We take great care in crafting our food, sourcing from small and local organic farms — our quest for the best to help us all thrive and live our best lives.
Luscious Lorraine’s is a place of community, exchanges of like minds, cooking, nutrition — a place where lasting relationships can be made, where local businesses are supported, and families we serve can continue to develop and flourish generation after generation.
My functional nutrition isn’t just about food and connection. It’s about trust, hope, partnerships, and knowing that you are not alone. We are here to help.
Unapologetically clean food since 1999.
“My entire life has been a journey toward health through food.”
At the age of 22, I was diagnosed with breast cancer while also struggling with addiction. For many years I lived in survival mode—working through struggles, setbacks, and victories in my own health. After overcoming cancer, I made it my mission to improve my lifestyle and dedicate myself to healthy eating.
Life continued to challenge me. I was later diagnosed with liver disease and cirrhosis. More recently, I experienced a severe accident that left 20% of my lower body badly burned. Each of these experiences pushed me deeper into learning how to take control of healing—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Through it all, I discovered that true healing comes from a holistic approach: the right foods, restful sleep, proper supplementation, emotional support, spiritual connection, stress awareness, and resilience. These elements look different at different times in life, and that is the beauty of healing—it evolves with you.
I have come to believe that you can live a healthy, empowered, and joyful life, even while navigating the challenges life brings. Gratitude, resilience, and individualized care are at the heart of my philosophy.
This is why I decided to offer nutritional counseling. My approach is highly personalized—meeting you exactly where you are right now, knowing that your needs will change as your life changes. The best diet is the one that works for you in this moment, supporting your body, mind, and spirit on your unique journey.
Healing with food is not one-size-fits-all. It is about discovering what brings you balance and vitality today. I am here to walk beside you in that process.
With gratitude,
Lorraine
