{Re}Connect the Mindbody

This is me, Jennifer Suki

I am an Intuitive. Somatic Healer. Mindfulness Chef. Retreat Host. Yoga Enthusiast. Divine Feminine. Truth Seeker. Lover. Creator.

I began my career as an Executive Chef in Dallas, stepping into the fast-paced restaurant world straight out of culinary school at 18. Fueled by passion and relentless drive, I climbed quickly, gaining invaluable experience and lasting connections. For nearly a decade, I thrived in the heat of high-pressure kitchens, until I realized success had come at a steep cost.

Beneath the achievements, I was unraveling. I had fallen into unhealthy habits, toxic relationships, and the kind of burnout that strips you from yourself. When my restaurant, Mudhen Meat & Greens, closed in 2020, it felt like my whole world came crashing down. Grief and exhaustion left me at a crossroads.

What saved me was something small: a 66-day gratitude journal. That daily practice became a doorway back to myself. From there, I embraced radical self-love, unlearned old patterns, and found new ways of being. A spontaneous solo yoga retreat sealed the shift—it was no longer just about surviving, but about living with nourishment and authenticity.

I discovered my purpose: to nourish others through food, fellowship, and healing practices that restore body, mind, and spirit. Today, I blend two decades of culinary craft with somatic tools, mindfulness, and soulful storytelling to help others reconnect with themselves.

My story is one of resilience, growth, and the power of reinvention. Through conscious living and embodied nourishment, I’ve found my way home—and I’m here to help others do the same.

The Dimensions of Personal Wellbeing

  • Mind / Spirit

    The mind is the element used to create and experience your own reality. Mindfulness & presence allow you to manifest your dreams into this world by tapping into your spirit connection. Think of it this way- if the soul is like a computer, then your spirit mind is the wifi that is broadcasting you into this body. By tending to the mind, we can manage the matter.

  • Body / Physical

    The physical body is the machine we use to navigate the world. It is what we most readily identify with. The minds thoughts become our actions which becomes who we are in day to day life. By truly connecting with the body, we can explore all of our senses for a deeper human experience. A physical yoga practice is a great way to deepen the mindbody connection.

  • External / Social

    The external world is the place where everything outside of the mind exists. It serves as the invitation to get out of your head and into the here and now. As inherently social creatures, we are energy-in-motion (emotion) that thrive on human connection. Retreats are a wonderful place to gather and share in joy, gratitude & peace of mind.

  • Inner Realm / Emotional

    Within the inner world lies the authentic self. The self, when understood, is already perfect. Just as any seed of a flower contains the flower in itself in all its magnificence, the self has everything it needs to fulfill its higher purpose. When the inner conditions are right, it naturally emerges, bigger, better, and more abundantly than we can imagine. Tools like meditation and breathwork allow one to find deep inner calm.
