From Trailer to Table

From Trailer to Table:

The Journey of Nourished

Nourished began as a humble food trailer started by Chef Aya Hasegawa and Chef Michelle Reynoso. It focused on gut-friendly breakfast, lunch and adatogenic beverages made from scratch. What started as a dream to make healthy food accessible to our community, grew into space that connected people through food.

After years of offering wholesome dishes on and offsite, Aya and Michelle decided to close the trailer to focus on their own career goals. Chef Aya wants to pursue her personal chef services/dinner parties, private catering, retreats and corporate events while still continuing the same spirit of community and care brought directly to your home. 

The Nourished Spirit Lives on 

The trailer may have closed its window June of 2025, but the heart of Nourished beats in every dish I create. Whether it’s meal prep for a busy family or a multicourse dinner party, my goal remains the same: to bring warmth and connection to the table.

Wellness Retreats

Intentional meals created for wellness retreats where food becomes part of the experience. Menus are designed to encourage slowing down, meaningful connection, reflection, and support for relaxation and healing.

"Mondays have taken on a whole new meaning in our household. It is when Aya arrives with a smile on her face and bags full of the most fresh and thought-out ingredients for the week’s menu. She quickly gets to work preparing a range of dishes from kid-friendly to flavorful and robust all while incorporating in-season vegetables and fruits and healthy oils, yogurts and spices."

"Chef Aya has genuinely changed our lives! She creates meals that are not only delicious but perfectly tailored to what we need; when we went plant-based, she immediately pivoted and provided equally delicious meals."
