  • Oscar and Mayra at Roots at Heart are nothing less than AMAZING. They did a cooking demonstration at our local farmers market a few weeks ago and everyone keeps asking when they will be back! I love their belief that good food is good medicine. Their focus on healthy, whole-foods eating is such an inspiration, the recipes Mayra provides are healthy and - importantly - easy to follow for any home cook, and Oscar is an amazing chef. I can't recommend them highly enough.

  • Un mil gracias a Mayra y Oscar! Your guidance for the past year as I navigated the path of Diabetes has been amazing. Mayra is very gifted in her knowledge of nutritional therapy. Her specialized assessments of my health helped to create a personalized plan. Her encouragement, prescribed herbs and specific eating plan have helped me regain energy, dramatically reduce medications and lose weight. I also want to thank Oscar for his excellent workshops and cooking events that support the diabetes diet.Your training and gifts have helped so many people in our community! Son muy amables!

  • Such great food! We loved the use of local, fresh vegetables and fish prepared simply but with terrific flavor. Who knew the lowly turnip could be so fabulous as the base to lay fresh, lightly seasoned and cooked salmon over? Innovative, creative and delicious. Definitely a 5 star chef at work!

  • We took one of Oscar’s private cooking classes at our home, he really helped me overcome my fear of using new ingredients. He also showed me how to properly use cooking utensils, understand how to properly store meals after cooking them and how to prepare meals efficiently for our busy schedule. Highly recommend them, especially if you work in construction.

  • Mayra has been an amazing nutritionist. She explains step by step can help you better your diet and listens to any questions you have and explains them thoroughly. Love how caring and compassionate she is towards her clients and loves what she does.

    G.S.

  • “I loved her white board demonstration on how LDL, HDL, and arteries work, and more importantly, WHY LDL is labeled the “bad” cholesterol and HDL is labeled the good. She used simple terms that I could relate to... This is the first time I really understand how cholesterol works in my body. Thank you Mayra!”
