Profile
As a D-1 collegiate athlete with a background in nutrition and anatomy, and an internship with a naturopathic center for healing, Caley Alyssa found herself wanting to help people achieve healthier, happier lives. She quickly came to realize that she wanted to promote preventative and therapeutic methods encouraging active, energetic lifestyles rather than focusing on treatment centered around prescription drugs and the increasingly paramount “band-aid” mindset. In 2006, Caley moved to San Francisco and began to study yoga completing her 200 hour training with Yoga Tree with Janet Stone, Darren Main and Elise Lorimer. From there she went onto study with Shiva Rea and obtained a certification to work with children and at risk youth. In 2010, Caley’s quest to bring health and happiness to others lead her to enroll with the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in New York to become a Holistic Health Coach, registered with the American Drugless Practitioners. Caley now lives in Los Angeles with her husband. She designs and leads seasonal cleanses for individuals, yoga studios and corporate businesses sharing her lifelong journey of finding balance, wellness and happiness in all aspects of life!

Need some fruity salsa for July 4th? In the Yavorsky household (this includes my brother and sister-in-law to be who live just a couple of blocks away), salsa is a staple of our diet and can be consumed anywhere from two to 10 times a week, depending on the occasion. Our family’s obsession with this [...]

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus & Artichokes.

by on Jun 19, 2012

I can still remember the first time I ate artichokes (and liked them)! An ever-Tuesday series! When I first moved to San Francisco after graduating from U of O, I had absolutely no clue what I wanted to do for a career and with my life in general. So, after a couple of weeks sulking [...]

by on May 29, 2012

Bloomsdale Spinach & Strawberry Summer Salad I’m going to apologize before I even start typing to all of my Oregon friends as I hear it is still quite chilly up there, but it already feels like summer is in full swing here in L.A.!  As such, I’ve been enjoying all the incredibly fresh, local produce [...]

Raw Banana Coconut Cream Pie. (Vegan)

by on Feb 19, 2012

Raw Banana Coconut Cream Pie (Vegan) We had some dinner guests over the night before Valentine’s Day which motivated me to try a new dessert recipe! I wanted to make something without chocolate that was just non-Valentine’s Day themed in general. My husband, Dan, loves coconut and so I’ve been wanting to try my hand at making a [...]

Men, if you’re single and getting board of the same three dinner options every night of the week (whole foods sandwich, Chipotle burrito bowl, chips and salsa) and you can count the number of kitchen utensils you own on one hand, then good sir, this is for YOU!

by on Jan 30, 2012

Gettin’ Juicy with it! Alright, it’s time to lay down the law of juice vs. smoothie, so listen up. Juice is juice, and smoothies are smoothies y’all! They are two very different things with different purposes and benefits. Can you tell the differences? Read on… Let’s start simple, smoothies are made with blenders! They are a substantial, complete meal and are [...]

Blood Builder Juice!

by on Jan 23, 2012

Blood Builder Juice It’s time for Popeye to step-aside and set down his old can of spinach, beets are in the house! Sorry to burst your bubble sailor man, but beet greens actually have a higher iron content than spinach greens do. This high iron content regenerates red blood cells helping them to supply greater [...]

Double Time – Avocado Smoothie & Green Juice.

by on Jan 23, 2012

Double Time – Avocado Smoothie & Green Juice The driving situation in LA is known to be pretty horrendous mot days.

Awe…NUTZ!

by on Jan 17, 2012

pistachio mint falafel balls Monday evening I had a lovely lady guest over for a girls evening which was reason enough for me to cook! I’ll admit, sometimes I tend to go slightly overboard when having house guests to cook for as most evenings I generally fend for myself. Preparing healthy and delicious meals for [...]

Sweet Potato Hummus This past Thanksgiving, I was asked to bring over a few dishes for our big shin-dig at Nick and Alex’s place new apartment.

Spicy Coconut-Lime Cauliflower Rice. (Vegan)

by on Jan 16, 2012

Spicy Coconut-Lime Cauliflower Rice (Vegan) I’ve been wanting to try out cauliflower as rice now for a while, and it turned out better than expected!
