Stacey
Our Chef
Food has been the foundation of Stacey Williamson’s life for as long as she can remember. Stacey is a Qualified Chef, Whole Food Plant-Based Specialist, and Wellness Advocate with over 35 years of professional experience in the culinary world. Her journey began in traditional kitchens, where she trained extensively and went on to hold Head Chef and Executive Chef positions in restaurants across Melbourne and Perth. These years at the forefront of professional kitchens allowed her to develop a deep respect for ingredients, technique, creativity, and the craft of cooking. They shaped not only her skills as a chef, but also her understanding of food as culture, connection, and an important part of how we experience life.
Around 15 years ago, Stacey’s focus shifted as she became deeply aware of the powerful connection between what we eat and how we live, feel, and heal. This curiosity grew into a calling, leading her to immerse herself in whole food, plant-based nutrition and complete a University Diploma of Health Science and Nutrition. She began exploring food not just as nourishment, but as a foundation for long-term health, vitality, and wellbeing.
Stacey is passionate about making whole food, plant-based cooking accessible, delicious, and practical — free from restriction, guilt, or fads. She believes food should be joyful, deeply satisfying, and supportive of the body’s natural ability to thrive.
Empowering others is at the heart of Stacey’s work. Through teaching, recipe creation, and advocacy, her goal is to help people reconnect with food in a way that feels sustainable, intuitive, and nourishing. To Stacey, wellness isn’t about perfection, it’s about awareness, balance, and informed choice.
With more than three decades of professional culinary experience behind her, Stacey brings together the knowledge of a seasoned chef with a deep understanding of nutrition and wellbeing. She remains deeply committed to sharing the transformative power of whole food, plant-based eating and inspiring people to get back to real food, together.
