Welcome!

Hi, I’m Mariana. Located on the Gold Coast, Australia, I couldn’t ask for a more beautiful place to live! I moved here with my husband and two cats from Canberra (hello sunshine!).

After several years of working as a chef, I decided I needed other creative outlets. So the Slow Chef was born…and I’m here to encourage you to slow down and take the steps to have a more fulfilling, intentional and joyful life.

If you are looking for rest and relief from the craziness of this world, I’m with you!

Let’s build each other up and create space to consider what truly matters. Together we can foster a community that explores how to really bring about positive change in our lives and have the impact we want to have.

Let’s cultivate a more peaceful approach to living one day at a time. A little really does go a long way.
