Choose your food with care. Enjoy the journey. Feel supported.
For decades, food and wellbeing have been at the heart of my work. Today, that experience lives on in the S.A.B.E. Method and in El Camino S.A.B.E., where each choice reflects personal attention and my own approach to care.
S.A.B.E.
MY STORY
Food changed how I think about health.
My career began in France, where I trained as a chef. I went on to run Le Croisic, my French restaurant in Key Biscayne, Miami, for over fifteen years. There I learned to appreciate the quality of an ingredient and the pleasure of a good meal.
Over time, a question changed the direction of my work. Why were so many people living with physical, mental and emotional difficulties, and what part could food play in their lives?
That question led me to study plant-based nutrition and the relationship between what we eat and how our bodies work. What I learned, together with my experience and what I observed in my clients, changed how I understood health. I came to see the quality of our food and our daily habits as fundamental to wellbeing.
My perspective shifted as I came to know both worlds. The pleasure of cooking stayed with me, alongside a deeper appreciation of good ingredients and the knowledge behind each choice.
Out of that grew S.A.B.E. Its initials stand for Salud, Armonía, Bienestar y Energía: Health, Harmony, Wellbeing and Energy. I work with individuals and families to bring this philosophy into everyday life, adapting food choices and habits to support metabolic health in a way that suits each household.
On the Camino to Santiago de Compostela, this same care guides the choice of meals, the quality and origin of the ingredients and the attention paid to individual preferences. Wellbeing takes shape in the decisions we make each day.
S.A.B.E. brings together my years in food and the experience of helping people care for their health and wellbeing. For me, food is the foundation of health. Eating well means making informed choices and understanding how our habits affect us physically, mentally and emotionally. I adapt my guidance to each person’s needs and daily life. I want to share a way of caring for yourself, day by day, that always leaves room for the pleasure of a good meal.

Before we set out, we will already have talked. I will know your preferences, the time you have and what makes you feel at ease. That conversation is where your experience begins to take shape.
When you arrive, I want you to feel free to enjoy the Camino. Each stage, each stay and each pause has been quietly considered, so you can settle into the journey.
Sometimes it is the little things you barely notice that make an experience feel truly yours.
Care begins with food.
Food is where my understanding of wellbeing begins. Choosing thoughtfully, enjoying a meal and listening to what each person needs are the ideas that gave rise to S.A.B.E.
On the Camino, that same attention shapes where we eat, where we rest and the pace of each day. You feel it in the details, long before you reach Santiago.
