Women of Soulful Power
These powerful and transformative women break the mold in unlikely and inspiring ways, unapologetically etching out their own path as healers, teachers or activists for personal and global transformation.
Like many of you in the Soulful Power community, they too were once novices on their spiritual path, struggling with some of the same sort of questions, challenges, and doubts. Ultimately, the drive to share their light with the world overrode all that, and they answered the Call for Heroes. We hope you enjoy, but mostly, we hope they serve as catalysts or inspiration on your own path of personal transformation.

Dulce Jimenez
Cooking is what makes Chef Dulce jump with Joy! Her passion for food and cooking started at a young age, smelling the aromas and tasting the flavors of her grandmother, Mama Cacha’s kitchen. She loved to be in the kitchen watching her grandma cooking every meal from scratch for her large family. Food and good eats have always been part of Dulce’s life.
For more than a decade, she has positively transformed her health by changing her eating habits which influences the way she cooks today. Her cuisine is Plant-Forward which as she explains:
“As a Chef, “Plant-Forward” describe my personal approach to food and cooking as well as an expression of healthier, more sustainable food choices and menus. It is about expanding choices with the vast availability of real plant ingredients as the focus of the meal, inclusiveness of minimal grass-fed, sustainable animal products and maximizing nutrients in every dish by using the healthiest cooking method to prepare them. It is as simple as offering you a meal that you will love to eat and that will make you feel good about eating it every day!”
Chef Dulce has traveled around the world learning from different cuisines, discovering that eating to achieve good health can be delicious, and affordable. Dulce’s Caribbean heritage has inspired her to fuse Latin and Caribbean flavors with global cuisine. Her cooking is balanced, diverse and delicious.
