Mesha Terrell
Instructor, Owner of Sprouting Chefs, LLC

Hi, I’m Mesha Terrell! With over 33 years of experience, I specialize in helping people achieve their best through fitness, nutrition, and simple lifestyle changes. I hold master’s degrees in health education and dietetics from Eastern Michigan University and have worked with a diverse range of individuals—from older adults managing chronic conditions to busy professionals aiming to improve their health. My passion lies in making wellness less overwhelming and more attainable for everyday life.
During my graduate program at Eastern Michigan University, I had the opportunity to assist Lilian Anderson, the founder of Sprouting Chefs. This experience ignited my love for teaching kids how to cook. It's incredible to witness how cooking builds their confidence, creativity, and curiosity around food. I am excited about this new endeavor and look forward to working with your children to explore the world of nutrition.
Outside of work, I am a wife and a proud mom of nine! I enjoy traveling, reading, teaching group fitness classes, biking, watching old movies, binge-watching my favorite shows, and volunteering in my church and community.

I’m so excited to share that starting September 1st, I’ll officially be the new owner of Sprouting Chefs! After the joy of working alongside Lilian as her assistant, I’m truly honored to continue her vision of fun, hands-on cooking classes for children. I can’t wait to meet—and cook with—all of our amazing Sprouting Chefs!
