Marie-Dominique Rail, known as Chef Marie, is a culinary innovator, spiritual guide, and sound healer whose life is a testament to resilience, transformation, and service. From launching MCHEF®—an in-home fine dining experience and allergen-free gourmet product line—to authoring bestselling holistic cookbooks, she has dedicated her career to nourishing others through conscious food and heartfelt care.
A graduate of Montreal’s esteemed Institut de Tourisme et d’Hôtellerie du Québec, Marie’s path has taken her across Geneva, Milan, Las Vegas, and Montreal. Her work expanded beyond cuisine into music and healing arts.
As a lifelong pianist and composer, she created the Piano for the Soul series, offering therapeutic music to calm, uplift, and heal. A certified Reiki Master and intuitive healer, Marie bridges ancient wisdom with modern life to support emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.
In 2023, a cancer diagnosis deepened her spiritual calling. Rather than a setback, it became a sacred invitation to embody her truth. Today, she shares her light through food, music, and energy work, walking beside others on their healing journeys with compassion and love.
“Healing is not about fixing, but remembering who we truly are.”
