CLASS INSTRUCTOR:
CHEF AMELIA IRENE, FOUNDER LOTUS LANE
Join me in the kitchen! I am excited to curate wellness experiences that enhance your mind, body and spirit. As a native of the Washington, DC metropolitan area, I relocated to North Carolina over 8 years ago and currently reside in quaint Wake Forest outside of Raleigh. A Federal Government Executive by day and an entrepreneur by night I am the Founder of both Amelia Irene Catering and Event Design and Lotus Lane Curated Wellness Retreats. My desire to become a chef was birthed as a child but my path to get there took a longer journey! It began as a nursing major at Prairie View A&M University after I told my mom I wanted to major in Home Economics! Unclear how I would "survive" she encouraged me to pick a major where I could get a good job. I later transferred closer to home and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Social Science from Coppin State University and a Master’s Degree in Health Administration from the University of Maryland University College. Despite a successful government career that spans over 25 years in Congressional Affairs, Public Relations and now IT Portfolio Management the desire to pursue my passion led me back to the kitchen where I find solace from the stress of life. After surviving uterine and ovarian cancer a catalyst was sparked to live each moment to its fullest and pursue my purpose relentlessly. Over the course of a year I traveled from NC to New York to attend the Natural Gourmet Institute graduating from their Chef Training Program in March 2019. I am a firm believer in food as medicine and understand the battle to live healthy while struggling with emotional eating. My daily affirmation is that my culinary gifts will bring vibrant life and healing to all who partake in it.
