Heal by Eating
A Taste of Paradise
Eating well and enjoying what you eat is truly heaven. Dazzled by the visual delight of a perfect plate, savoring each bite, getting lost in the swirling lights of tastes and textures, everything, right now, in yourself and the world around you, is perfect.
It is little wonder then that food is evil’s favorite target and severing our relationship to food and our bodies is the quickest way to keep people disconnected from themselves, suffering from chronic illnesses, suffocated with eating disorders and endless diets/weight loss schemes, drowning in addictions, buried in self-hatred, shame, depression, and despair.
This offering is a love letter to food and celebrating everything in yourself and the world that inspires and sustains life and makes you feel alive. What we do is simple: we’ll share a meal together. I’ll talk to you about whatever you want and that makes you happy, especially about what you love about food. This simple act of being present and filled—in body, mind, and spirit—with deliciousness is a healing magic that I am honored to have dedicated my life to and to be able to share with you.
Each A Taste of Paradise service takes place in San Francisco, California. Because everyone has a favorite way to enjoy a meal, I offer this service in several ways:
-
Tell me a bit about what you love, or want to love, about food and I’ll pick us a restaurant to dine in inspired by your foodie or aspiring-foodie tastes. Pick any meal that sparks your passion: breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, dessert. You can order anything you want, I’ll pick up the tab, and I’ll be there to enjoy with you. This version is wonderful if you struggle to eat freely without agonizing about your diet, nutritional content, macros, weight, social justice impact, or what [fill in the blank with an external critic of choice] would think if they saw you eating like this. This is the freedom meal to end all scarcity mindsets and somatized trauma there ever was. I will be your business partner in the art of delightful dining and your spirit guardian to keep all the garbage thoughts out of your mind and the meal. It’s also a wonderful choice to celebrate or memorialize a life event—to say farewell to the old and hello to the new. If there’s anything that is holding you away from your appetite, we will put that on the proverbial chopping block and eat ice cream instead. :)
I’ll pick the restaurant based on what I think will be most healing and you would most enjoy. I’ve got a city full of favorite spots from casual to fancy-ish where we can go. Or if you have a specific restaurant you want to dine in, you can request that too.

Sometimes, you gotta go straight to The Source. This version celebrates the wonder, delight, and unbeatable treasure-hunting opportunities of the grocery store. Tell me what you love or hate about grocery shopping and I’ll pick a local favorite grocer fine-tuned to transform your understanding of what grocery shopping can be. We can roam the aisles at a full-spectrum store, like wild stallions enjoying all nature has to offer. Or maybe you’ve always wanted to try your hand at shopping the Farmer’s Market, but were overwhelmed by the prohibitively random/early hours (What do you mean it’s already closed at 9:30am on a Wednesday?!) and/or unbearable gentrification. Or maybe there’s a specialty shop you’ve always wanted to visit, but, like the Farmer’s Market you also didn’t get to, were overwhelmed by the prohibitively random/early hours, and the additional fear of a sneering shopkeep who knows you’re too poor and unrefined to shop there. Whatever the grocery-provider of your dreams looks like, we’ll have fun browsing the market and help you pick out some gems to try/enjoy.
This version is excellent for those who dread grocery shopping for any number of understandable reasons: far, expensive, choice fatigue, so many calories, so many artificial/satan-based ingredients, so many people to avoid making eye contact with, exhausting, parking problems, items too high on the shelf, items too low on the shelf, they are out of stock of literally everything you need to buy, I’m hungry, I’m not hungry, and the (grocery) list goes on. I can’t erase all of that past/structural sadness for you (it’s real, and that happened), but I can ensure that, going forward, you’ll always have the capacity to grocery shop with joy, wonder, and gratitude.

I’m gonna be straight with you: I can’t cook for sh*t. I get tired. I get cranky. It takes me forever to make anything. I feel put upon and like nothing I do is good enough, and that I might as well give up on life because I’ll never amount to anything. O_O This is a huge part of why I appreciate and adore people who can cook and who love to cook. It’s a team effort and a labor of love to make a meal and I’m here to be the teammate with the closing move, the lucky recipient of the end results of your culinary talent, and the most grateful mega-fan of your cooking. This version is especially great for cooks and chefs who love to make food, who take pride in their culinary talents, and/or simply prefer their own cooking to a restaurant. It’s also wonderful to give you an occasion to try something new you’ve wanted to cook or a personal favorite, without the high stakes of disappointing a family/restaurant full of diners or dealing with picky eaters or dietary restraints. It can also help you reconnect to your love of cooking, if you’re feeling exhausted by the grind of putting food on the table every day or not getting to cook like you want to due to non-kitchen-related grinding elsewhere in your life. Whatever it is, I’m here for it and I’m so excited to have the privilege of joining you for your home cooked meal.
I don’t like mushrooms, Brussel sprouts, or lima beans. And I will only eat banana or guava if it’s very, very well hidden. But other than that, sky’s (and fries) the limit. Make whatever makes you happy. I’m here to enjoy the meal. :)
This version can take place in your actual home, or in a restaurant if you are a professional cook/chef.

Getting drunk is for losers. If you aren’t enjoying your alcohol responsibility and resplendently, you’re doing it wrong. This version is for those who are healing from alcohol abuse, have any sort of sensitivities, hang-ups, or taboos around alcohol, or just want to be able to fully enjoy being sober. Tell me what you love or hate about drinking and I’ll choose us a place to enjoy a cocktail, mocktail, glass of wine, or other beverage. If you happen to get distracted by gourmet bar snacks or the food menu, and want to forget all about drinking, that’s cool too. Plus, if you need proof (<—see what I did there? ;) lol) that you can achieve your recreation or personality goals without being drunk, I’ll make us a fun mini version of that experience (drinking game, trivia, dancing, singing, being able to be yourself “uninhibited”, flirting, etc.) so you can leave drinking-only-you in the past. Your wallet and higher self thank you.
Hopefully it goes without saying, but you must be 21+ to drink alcohol. However, having a healthy relationship to alcohol and socializing safely is important at any age, so I’m pleased to offer the mocktail-only version of this offering for clients under 21 who want to set themselves up for success. <3

For time immemorial, humans have made it a primary goals to create the best, most perfect version of “drinkable hot water with stuff in it.” Whether it’s tea, coffee, hot chocolate, or other heat-made beverage, we live for the experience of a warm mug in our hands and the inevitable comfort of a brewed-beverage ritual. But somewhere along the capitalism way, we converted our morning brews into broken battery-power, spawning crimes against humanity such as triple-shot espresso and the brag “I can’t function without my coffee.” I’m here to tell you you can and you will. And also, stop it, your ability to exist can’t be tethered to an external drink. Thus, this version is for restoring and celebrating the ritual of enjoying your hot beverage of choice, free of caffeine addiction, sugar addiction, “energy drinks,” or any other form of liquid “fixes.” Tell me what you love or hate about your hot beverage experiences and I’ll choose us a place to enjoy a grounded, restorative cup of coffee, tea, hot chocolate or any other cafe-based sip you want to explore. This is especially helpful for those who have fallen victim to grind culture and want to break free of the “drink to think” chains. Your time with your mug (and pastry/snack friends) should be your own, and I’m here to share that experience with you so you can create a healthy, happy ritual for yourself with every lovingly-prepared cup.
Heal with Flowers
Flower Healing
There is an adage that “Time heals all wounds.” And to that, I say, “What is a flower, other than time grown into an infinite delight of colors and shapes that smell good?” All jokes/accurate descriptions aside, this offering is dedicated to healing with flowers. Share with me an issue or challenge you are facing, and I will send you a spiritual bouquet of flowers (with supporting greenery, as needed) to heal you.
The flowers I send will be a mix of homeopathic flower essences (which are energy medicine that can be taken safely with any other healing modality you’re working with and cannot be overdosed) and beautiful illustrations of flowers from tarot and oracle artists. Each flower/plant in your bouquet will come with its name and a message/description that highlights a selection of its key healing abilities.
This Flower Healing service is currently offered in the United States.
Heal by Laughing
Hold-up Stand-up
They say laughter is the best medicine. Most of the time, I agree with that. But in troubled times like ours, we are so starved for happiness and relief that we have collectively become willing to laugh at (and laud) the most depraved and unskilled of humor. Here at Self Fulfilling Prophecy we are putting an end to that, one self-made human at a time. Hold-up Stand-up is an opportunity to hone (or just share) your comedic skill in a do-or-die setting with me, Comedy Royalty, as your exclusive audience. The rules are simple: tell me a joke. If you can tell a solid joke that is loving towards yourself and the world (presented in your own style), I will laugh and award you a gold star. If your comedy relies on degrading yourself or others and I deem it in poor taste, I will digitally shoot you with my tiny handgun and end your set. :D
The (gun) point here is to:
A) challenge us to elevate our comedy so that we can actually enjoy our God-given and/or self-made sense of humor.
B) Make it so that no comedian ever needs to deserve to be cancelled (I mean merit-based cancels; please know that I/we are taking care of the toxic cancel-to-silence culture separately, and you don’t have to worry about that here in this program. <3).
C) Give comedians (and/or anyone who likes to make people laugh) a place to work on their skills/share their talent that is free of drunk, thirsty, horny, jealous, hateful people and doesn’t require them to spend their precious time commuting across town (or across state lines) to have a venue with an audience.
D) To end gun violence permanently, because heavens knows nothing else we claim to be doing about it is getting the job done.
This program is open to all, no need to be a professional or aspiring-professional comedian. : )
Via video: the Hold-up Stand-up for the traditionalist who loves a live audience. Choose a performance window, hang out in the digital green room, and when you’re up, I’ll call you on stage for your up-to-5 minutes of fame.
Via email: the Hold-up Stand-up choice for busy executives, efficiency buffs, writers, and/or cowards. Email me your joke and I will respond with a gold star or handgun. Due to high call volume and my rich and famous lifestyle, please allow up to 5 business days to receive your response.
Celebrity Add-on
If you are a celebrity of any kind (you know who you are), please add this pricing premium to your Hold-up Stand-up purchase. This is punishment for your being an ungrateful attention whore who doesn’t value the friends and fans you already have.
Ultra Celebrity Add-on
If you are a top-tier celebrity of any kind (the ones with real money, you know who you are), please add this pricing premium to your Hold-up Stand-up purchase. This is punishment for your being an ungrateful attention whore who doesn’t value the friends and fans you already have and who is also near-single-handedly upholding capitalism.
Dave Chappelle Add-on
If you are famed comedian Dave Chappelle and you are reading this, know that it is too late for you. I and Lil Nas X already won and you will never amount to anything. You should be ashamed of yourself and then add this pricing premium to your Hold-up Stand-up purchase. This is punishment for your being a waste of God’s, Satan’s, and n*ggas’ time. You’re welcome. Love you. <3 :D
Heal by Giving Up

I will destroy this illusion/false belief/spell with such incredible completeness and force of will/spirit that you will want to pay me again just for how fun it was to have a life-long spell broken, demon vanquished, and this sorry excuse for an excuse to why you’re not happy/successful exposed for the sham that it is.
If I can’t rid you of this false belief, I’ll give you half your money back. I say half because you’ll need to feel cheated to preserve your self-crippling worldview. :D
Celebrity Add-on
