Private Chef Haley Manikowski

Hi, I’m Haley Manikowski—a private chef and culinary nutrition expert with over 10 years of experience running my own business. I’ve spent the last 8 years cooking professionally, and my passion lies in making whole, nutrient-dense foods taste amazing.

I’ve had the privilege of cooking for and nutritionally supporting professional athletes for many years, helping them fuel their performance with personalized, functional meals. I’m also deeply committed to using local, seasonal ingredients and love supporting small farms and businesses here in Colorado.

For me, food is more than just fuel—it’s a way to support overall wellness while still bringing joy and satisfaction to the table.

For me, cooking is...

A way to nourish the body and soul. It’s how I connect with people, express creativity, and show that healthy food can be both healing and delicious.

I learned to cook at...

Home first—where real food and shared meals were always important. From there, Nutrition Therapy Institute in Denver and then the start of my business
