Kevin Helas, Founder, Head Chef, The Wholefood Kitchen

The Wholefood Kitchen is the creation of Aotearoa NZ born Kevin Helas, who trained extensively in London under the guidance of some of the worlds’ leading wholefood and macrobiotic chefs.

It was at the Concord Institute, under the guidance of Jean Torné and other teachers, that Kevin was first introduced to the principle of ‘cooking with awareness,’ a powerful way of establishing a deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us, which informs The Wholefood Kitchen ethos.

Kevin's connection with cooking sits alongside his experience across a wide spectrum of well-being, self-realisation and spiritual practice, and his work as an Embodiment Coach.
