Taylor Michelle is a retreat chef and sensory wellness designer.

Her work blends nutrition, spatial design, and wellness rituals into experiences that center on self-care.

Taylor has worked with global icons like Madonna, built digital platforms such as Tiny Bodega, and co-created community healing with Orē.

When she’s not in the kitchen or designing retreat menus for Orē, you’ll find her traveling the world for new ingredients, stocking her pantry, or turning small moments (tea service, a bath, a late-afternoon snack) into opportunities for regulation and rest.

What is a Sensory Wellness Designer?

Someone who shapes the way people feel through the design of food, space, ritual, and environment, using nature, aesthetics, and sensory cues to support balance, mood, and overall well-being.
