Meet Kalei Ross, PsyD
Dr. Kalei Ross is a sensory wellness specialist, chocolate educator, and award-winning author of In Pursuit of Purity: The Paris Chocolate Files and Stories Behind the Bar: The Dominican Republic.
With a background in clinical psychology and neuropsychology, she creates interactive chocolate experiences that explore the relationship between flavor, sensory perception, and attention.
Through guided tasting exercises and sensory exploration, participants discover how differently people can experience the same chocolate — and how slowing down changes what we notice.
"Your senses shape your stress—so they can also shape your relief. Chocolate gives us a simple, powerful entry point into regulating the nervous system and relearning how to savor life."
