Kerstin Decook is a Certified Professional Coach (CPC), Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner (ELI-MP), award-winning author, speaker, and Book Writing Coach.

She is the creator of Rock the Kitchen, a culinary coaching brand that empowers home cooks to gain confidence, creativity, and joy in the kitchen. Her bestselling Break Loose and Fly and The Confident Home Cook series reflect her belief that transformation begins with a single bold choice. Kerstin's mission is simple: to help people rewrite the rules, reclaim their power, and create lives-and meals-they truly love, one delicious possibility at a time.
