The Organisation

Seeds for kids trains children to eat healthier no matter what their experience has been before. We have two mottos: ‘You don’t have to like it, just try it’ and ‘Food is fun”

The Founder

Hi, I’m Raffaella.

Born and raised in a traditional Italian family, I’ve had the joy of living in New Zealand and New York, experiences that have broadened my perspective while deepening my love for food, nature, and a healthy lifestyle.

I am Italian —
from a culture where food is more than nourishment: it’s tradition, connection, and joy.
Where recipes are handed down from one generation to the next.
Where families gather around the table to share stories and laughter.
Where cooking is a shared experience, and children are encouraged to explore, create, and play with food.

I still remember being three years old, proudly shaping my first little tortelli and asking my grandmother to cook it just for me. That moment sparked a lifelong passion for the art of cooking and the meaning behind it.

Today, I am a sought-after speaker and conference moderator, collaborating with both local and international organisations — including the Embassy of Italy in the UK, the Global Education Summit (GESS) in Dubai, and St Mary’s University in Twickenham. My work focuses on healthy eating, sustainability, and mindfulness.

I also serve on the board of Il Circolo, a London-based cultural association that supports young talents in the arts, literature, and music through scholarships.
