Risa Nagahama  長濵梨紗

 

 

​​Based in Berlin.

​

Born in Tokyo to artist parents, she grew up surrounded by a profound sense of aesthetic beauty.

 

After working as an aesthetician in Japan, she moved to Paris on a working holiday, immersing herself in the art and gastronomy of Paris. She then gained experience in hospitality within the world of gastronomy before eventually relocating to Berlin with her husband.

​

A personal health crisis became the turning point in her life. A transformative three-week dietary detox awakened her to the vital importance of food, leading her to pursue a culinary career. Starting with vegan and vegetarian cuisine, her relentless curiosity eventually led to the publication of her own cookbooks.

​

Recognizing that there are 'shadows of the heart' that nourishment alone cannot heal, she endured a long, arduous, and profound journey of dissolution—a process through which she finally awakened to her true calling as a shaman.

 

As an author, food experience creator, and private chef for exclusive dining, collabrational events etc., she specializes in cuisine that connects heavens, the earth, and humanity, naturally harmonizing the body and mind of the diner.

 

In addition to her culinary work, she facilitates the purification and activation of auric and somatic energies, as well as the sacred clearing and awakening of spaces and the land itself.
