About us

Welcome to Marrigold

My name is Nita Jain. I am a Le Cordon Bleu trained chef, certified Reiki Master, and Himalayan sound healing practitioner. Born in India, I was raised around meditation, mantra, and holistic traditions an environment that quietly shaped my understanding of balance, nourishment, and inner well-being from an early age.

After graduating from Le Cordon Bleu, I worked as a private chef creating unique plant based dining experiences. Outwardly, life looked full and exciting but physically, my body was struggling. That same period marked the weakest point in my health. I experienced chronic inflammation, gut imbalance, and persistent skin issues. Despite extensive medical testing, everything appeared “normal,” and I was left without answers.

That moment became a turning point.

I returned to a more intentional way of living deeply nourishing foods, prayer, meditation, Reiki, and sound healing practiced consistently and with devotion. Over time, my body began to respond. What unfolded over the next two years was a profound transformation one that restored not just physical health, but emotional steadiness, nervous system balance, and inner clarity.

Marrigold was created as a result of this lived experience.

The mission of Marrigold is rooted in restoration where energy healing and sound take center stage, and the body is gently supported back into balance. Through Reiki, Himalayan sound therapy, healing foods, and lifestyle guidance, I help others release energy blockages, calm the nervous system, and reconnect with their natural capacity to heal.

Having walked the healing path myself, I bring empathy, presence, and deep respect to every session. My intention is to offer a space that feels grounding, nurturing, and deeply personal where healing is not forced, but allowed to unfold naturally.

At Marrigold, wellness is approached with patience, care, and trust in the body’s wisdom supporting each individual as they return to balance, vitality, and ease.

Storytelling Bio for Nita Jain — Marigold Plant-Based

My journey into healing began long before I ever stepped into a professional kitchen. Growing up surrounded by the vibrant aromas of Indian home cooking, fresh 3 times vegetarian food.she learned early on that food was more than nourishment—it was love, ritual, and medicine.

Years later, life led her to Le Cordon Bleu, where she trained as a chef and mastered the foundations of cuisine. But even as she whisked sauces and perfected knife cuts, she felt a quiet knowing inside her—that food had a deeper purpose. That the body responded not only to flavor, but to intention. That meals could be both beautiful and healing.

That inner voice became louder when she began exploring the Medical Medium lifestyle. What started as curiosity became transformation. She experienced firsthand how simple, plant-based ingredients—celery juice at sunrise, fresh herbs, ripe fruit, healing broths—could shift energy, mood, vitality, and clarity. It wasn’t just cooking anymore; it was alchemy.

As her own health blossomed, so did her desire to help others experience this awakening. For six years, Nita has guided individuals and groups through private cooking classes—teaching them that healthy food doesn’t have to be complicated. It can be vibrant, grounding, joyful, and unbelievably flavorful.

Students come to her kitchen expecting recipes; they leave with confidence, intuition, and a new relationship with their bodies.

Outside the kitchen, Nita deepened her training as a health coach, energy healer, yogi, and lifelong student of spiritual growth. Her mornings often begin with scripture, movement, meditation, and quiet reflection—practices that infuse her work with presence and compassion.

Her love of painting, singing, and creating beauty flows naturally into every dish, every class, every conversation.

Today, through Marigold Plant-Based, Nita blends all these paths—chef, teacher, healer, storyteller—into a single mission
to help people experience mind, body, and soul healing through the power of clean, intentional, plant-based food.

Her cooking is grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, oil-free, and made from the freshest ingredients. But more importantly, it is infused with warmth, joy, and a belief that every meal is an opportunity to nourish not just the body, but the spirit.

Whether she’s leading a curated group class, crafting spice kits for her students, writing recipes for her community, or sharing her journey on Instagram, Nita shines with the golden optimism of her namesake flower—reminding everyone who meets her that healing is not only possible, but delicious.

I’ve always believed that the body knows how to heal when we listen to it. Long before I ever trained as a chef, I naturally gravitated toward a naturopathic lifestyle—simple ingredients, clean food, herbs, and practices that honored both the body and spirit.

But life took me on a detour. When I attended Le Cordon Bleu, I immersed myself fully in the world of classical cuisine. It was exciting, intense, and beautiful in so many ways. After graduating, I lived in Europe for a few months, eating out often, exploring flavors, and absorbing everything I could. I didn’t realize it then, but my body was quietly struggling. The rich foods, the processed ingredients, the constant dining out—it all slowly caught up with me.

My health declined rapidly. My gut was inflamed, my skin reacted to everything, and I felt disconnected from myself in a way I had never experienced. It was unsettling for someone who had always trusted natural healing and lived so intuitively with food.

So I went back to what I knew—back to nature, back to simplicity, back to myself.

I removed every trigger food. I returned to healing ingredients: fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, broths, raw foods, and the simplest, purest nourishment. Alongside this, I supported my body with Reiki, sound healing, prayer, meditation, and deep spiritual work. I didn’t just change my diet; I changed my energy, my environment, and my relationship with myself.

And slowly, something incredible happened—
my body transformed, my skin cleared, my energy lifted, and I felt my spirit return home.

That healing wasn’t just physical; it was emotional, intuitive, and profoundly spiritual. It reawakened my purpose.

Today, everything I share—whether it’s a cooking class, a recipe, a healing practice, or a moment from my own journey—comes from that transformation. I know what it feels like to lose your balance. I know what it feels like to heal. And I know that food, energy, and intention are powerful medicine when they come together.

Through Marigold Plant-Based, I teach from lived experience. I cook from intuition. I lead with compassion. And I embody what I believe:

When we honor our bodies, they always answer back with healing.

I’ve always been drawn to a lifestyle centered on natural wellness. Long before my professional training, I followed a clean, naturopathic way of living—simple food, mindful practices, and daily habits that helped me feel grounded and clear.

After graduating from Le Cordon Bleu, I spent several months in Europe immersed in food and culture. The experience was beautiful, but constant dining out and rich cuisine affected my health more than I expected. My skin and gut struggled, and I felt disconnected from my usual sense of wellbeing.

To reset, I stripped everything back. I removed trigger foods, returned to high-nutrition ingredients, and paired that with the practices that had always supported me—Reiki, therapeutic sound work, rest, and intentional routines. The transformation was complete. My energy returned, my clarity sharpened, and I felt restored in a way that changed the direction of my life.

That journey became the foundation of Marigold.

Today, I bring together three disciplines that have shaped my own healing:

Each service is designed with a refined, elevated approach—simple, clean, high-quality, and intentionally crafted.

Marigold is my way of offering others the same experience of renewal I found: a place where food, energy work, and sound come together to support overall wellbeing in a gentle, luxurious, and accessible way.
