Welcome to Tia’s School for Intuitive Cooking
Where Your Flavor Becomes Your Future™
You don’t need another generic culinary school.
You need a place that sees you—the chef with fire in your soul, ambition in your hands, and a vision too bold for cookie-cutter classrooms.
At Tia’s School, we don’t just teach technique. We train chefs to become leaders, visionaries, and culinary storytellers. This is where discipline meets intuition, where your unique flavor turns into a signature legacy.

She is a Spiritual sage, deeply knowledgeable and wise in the realm of creating health in the body with food, creating peace of mind and creating more joy in Life.”
M. Kelly
"I really appreciated all of your help as an advisor, more so as a chef. Without your feedback I wouldn’t be where I am now. You have always been flexible with making yourself free and reliable, on top of setting a comfortable place to address concerns and expectations. I was bummed when I found out you wouldn’t be my advisor anymore, but it didn’t keep you from reaching out, and that says a lot about you not only as an advisor but as a person as well."
J. Foxworth
"Based on my experience with having you as an advisor and mentor. I really appreciated how encouraging you were and on top of everything with me and my class making sure we were either doing our research for which places we wanted to extern, we send our emails, and in the process still enjoying our journey. Having an advisor that makes the whole process and journey very encouraging made me look forward to my next steps and I feel like that was you as an advisor."
