The women who infuse every bite with magic

Holistic Chef Doris Fin

  • Chef Doris Fin has been cooking for 30 years, and for more than half her life, she has travelled the world, letting food be her guide and greatest teacher. With a deep passion for culinary exploration, she has spent over 15 years catering wellness retreats, teaching interactive cooking classes, curating nourishing dining experiences, and collaborating with renowned chefs from around the world.

    As a Holistic Chef, educator, and food alchemist, Doris believes that food is more than just sustenance—it is medicine, connection, and a profound expression of love. She is passionate about sourcing ingredients with intention, often going straight to the source, shaking hands (and hugging) farmers, foraging from forests and gardens, and creating meals that nourish both body and soul. Her work is deeply rooted in fostering community, particularly among women, as they gather to share, heal, and uplift one another through the ritual of food.

    Doris' famous hot chocolate, 48 hour bone broth, banana bread, and Fincicles (better than ice cream pops) will be available again in several flavours, along with warm, nourishing meals and comforting treats created to satiate and delight. Her food is more than just a meal—it is an experience, an offering of connection, and a celebration of nature’s abundance.

    At the heart of her work, Doris remains guided by a simple yet powerful mission:

    To create food that uplifts, connects, and heals.

    Because when people nourish themselves with intention, they nourish the world around them.

Marina Babaian

  • Marina Babaian is a chef with over 15 years of culinary experience, known for bringing comfort
    to life through cuisine. Her meals do more than nourish the body—they speak to the soul. For
    her, food is never just sustenance; it is memory, togetherness, and the joy of shared flavors.
    Every dish she creates is an invitation to feel at home, no matter where you are.


    Cooking, for Marina, is more than technique—it is storytelling through flavor. Each plate carries
    a narrative: memories rekindled, time shared, and comfort expressed in every bite. She has a
    gift for transforming simple ingredients into something magical, weaving aromatic spices, fresh
    herbs, and the rhythm of the kitchen together like music.


    Step into her kitchen and you’ll find a place where mood, melody, and flavor converge. A good
    song, a joyful spirit, and a swirl of spices are all it takes for Marina to turn the ordinary into the
    extraordinary. That is the magic of her food: it connects, comforts, and reminds us that we
    belong.
