GATHER AROUND NUTRITION

The Best Memories Are Made Gathered Around the Table

Gather Around Nutrition is a healing foods business based out of Portland, OR founded by holistic chefs Johanna Glaser & Jed Thaggard. Johanna & Jed have both received Masters Degrees in Holistic Nutrition from the National University of Natural Medicine. We offer therapeutic private chef services, in-home cooking classes, customized meal plans, and event catering. We choose to work exclusively with local small scale farmers and fishermen who provide high-quality organic produce, wild-caught seafood, and sustainably raised meats. We believe these practices support healthy bodies while upholding reciprocal relationships within our food systems.

MEET THE CHEFS

Johanna Glaser

I am a holistic nutritionist, personal chef, urban farmer, and community educator with a passion for local, sustainable, and seasonal foods. I received my graduate degree in Holistic Nutrition from the National University of Natural Medicine, with an emphasis in Community Nutrition Education. I am passionate about creating simple nourishing dishes that feature fresh produce from local farms and seasonal wild foods. I believe that preparing nourishing meals for ourselves and others is one of the greatest acts of LOVE. I have experience with many different therapeutic diet styles such as vegetarian/vegan, Ayurvedic, gluten-free, dairy-free, AIP/paleo, postpartum and prenatal. In my free time, you can find me playing in my garden, harvesting medicinal herbs, hiking and doing yoga.
