Jeevi also know as Laughing Chef is a Plant-Based Chef and Laughter Yoga Master.

Jeevi moved from his hometown in Nepal to Australia in 1996, he quickly noticed that many Australians didn’t really know how to make delicious and nutritious plant-based meals, and set about sharing his unique culinary vision here in Sydney.

In 2012, he won the People’s Choice Award for the Hot Raw Chef competition. An award that cemented his growing reputation as a rising vegetarian chef in Australia. For many people that would be enough. But Jeevi continued on and travelled to the USA to graduate as a certified raw food chef and instructor at the “Living Light Culinary Art Institute.”

In addition to his undeniable cooking talents, Jeevi brings another unique skill to the table. The joy of laughter, through laughter yoga. Jeevi believes that, if you cook or prepare meal with positive energy and laughter, you channel that energy into food. You feel that energy within the food when you eat.

What's your personal definition of what it means to thrive?

For me, thrive means to grow and prosper, whilst doing the things that I love to do. To thrive amongst adversity, to show people how to do and be their best also helps me to thrive. Being happy and having happiness around me also helps me to thrive.

Who do you look up to ? Who has helped you the most along your teacher / retreat leader journey?

The most important person who has helped me in my life is my mother. I grew up a vegetarian kid in Nepal as my mom is also vegetarian. I have learned so much from her, like how you can use simple ingredients to create amazing, mouth watering dishes. In Australia is was given the title "Laughing Chef" by Eloise King, a dear friend who used to run an event called Soul Sessions. I have also learned and gained inspiration from Athill Singh, a close friend who owns Happy Buddha Retreats. He has taught me to focus on something you love, and that you are passionate about and not to give up on your dreams. John Bhattarai has helped my to grow professionally and helped me to set up my vision. He is from the corporate world (Information Technology and Project Management). He has connected me to the right people in the business industry. Stacy Henderson and Michelle Davies have helped me to build my first vision board, and helped me to focus on the things that I have always wanted to achieve. Finally, Irene Emily, my brand strategist, helped my to grow my brand by helping me to focus on my business plan.
