About
Hi, I’m Renee Blanchard, a Louisiana native with a passion for knowledge and a personal understanding of what it's like to experience pain and discomfort every day. After having my own autoimmune and connective tissue disorders diagnosed, I jumped into the research. I needed to learn how I could make choices that would support my body and make me feel good. That’s why I decided to pursue a degree in dietetics while supporting my community at the Church Alley Cafe during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
I’ve always worked in restaurants and my role as owner and executive chef at Church Alley Cafe has been the biggest blessing in my chronic disease nutrition education. I’ve talked with so many of our customers about I've spoken with so many of our customers about how the food they eat impacts their health. Through changing and evolving our menu I’ve enjoyed introducing my community to what a healthy meal can look and taste like - and it tastes good. Engaging with my community to create healthy food options at Church Alley sparked my drive to bring my knowledge to an even larger community.
Sometimes we all need a little support to reach our goals- I’m here for you.
