  • "After completing Chef Robin’s private chef coaching course, I am left with a renewed sense of self confidence in my abilities, my worth, as well as a shift in my mindset in regards to thinking “bigger” for what is possible for my career. From understanding how to charge clients, and how to keep organized, to having a stronger grasp on how to be more professional in general, I now have an arsenal of invaluable tools, resources, and information that will continue to help me craft the business and life I desire. Chef Robin’s years of experience, wealth of knowledge, her consistent check in’s to provide accountability in a genuinely caring way, mixed with her ability to create a safe, supportive and inspiring space to ask any and all questions, both general and specific to me, I would highly recommend taking her course."

    —Chef K, California

  • "What truly stood out was Chef Robin's attention to detail and the personalized feedback after each session. I appreciated the resources and tips she provided, which I still use regularly. Thanks to Chef Robin, my business coach! I've not only improved my communication skills but also gained a deeper appreciation of the art of developing relationships with my clients.

    —Chef C, California

Furthermore, her passion, enthusiasm, and excitement create an inspiring learning environment demonstrating her dedication to teaching, helping, and mentoring others.

    —TFM, Indiana

  • "I went into Chef Robin’s course with a lot of ambition, but without the confidence to execute what I wished to achieve. I’ve spent most of my culinary career working in restaurants, so thinking about working for myself as a personal chef felt like a whole new very daunting challenge that I didn’t fully understand how to make a reality. Taking this course gave me the opportunity to approach some unanswered questions that I would not have thought to clarify in such detail on my own without the push from chef Robin. I now further understand what my strengths and my weaknesses are, what steps I need to take, and how to think bigger while being realistic. And even more than that, taking this course has given me the opportunity to make some really great contacts with locals and other chefs. Chef Robin is clearly very skilled and experienced in her field, and that knowledge mixed with her kind disposition has really inspired a new sense of trust in myself, which has helped me move forward in my career."

    —Claire T, California

  • "I began working with Chef Robin after being away from the private chef world for a little over a year. I was looking for a fresh start—and most importantly, guidance. Chef Robin provided exactly that, along with the spark I needed to refocus and move my business forward. We worked closely on the engagement and marketing components of her program, which were my primary focus as I worked to re-enter the market. She also generously shared insight into other aspects of the business, all of which were incredibly valuable. The time spent working with her was well worth it. Chef Robin is extremely knowledgeable and supportive in all facets of private cheffing. She has a way of putting everything into perspective while keeping things simple, clear, and actionable. I highly recommend working with her if you’re seeking guidance and direction for your business. I absolutely plan to continue working with her in the future. Thank you so much, Chef Robin!"
