Dena Lazar
Hi, I’m Dena, and I’m so excited to be teaching a class on cooking and baking this term at Trellis! Personally I have been cooking since I was about 10 years old. My passion has always been baking, as it’s a way I express my creativity. Cooking for people I care about and putting healing energy into the foods I prepare has been a special way for me to express my love. While I have not officially been a teacher, I have gotten to know many of them throughout the years of being part of the homeschool community. I have homeschooled my own boys for about 10 years now. I absolutely adore all the kids and get so much joy and inspiration from their uniqueness. On a more personal note, I ran a private practice as a marriage and family therapist for about 15 years. Although I no longer work in that capacity, my current work involves doing deep transformational healing work with people. In addition to cooking/baking, a creative hobby of mine has been learning to dance the Argentine tango. I also enjoy gardening and being out in nature.
