For me, growing up, food connected everything
From simple daily meals to major celebrations of life, of love and death. In times of sorrow and sickness, in times of joy and health. Out of hunger and habit, food connected us to ourselves, our family, our land and god. Food was so embedded in my life it was life itself. I raised my own children to know food as I did, as a source of life, a connector and healer.
As my children grew so did my capacity to care for others so I studied natural nutrition and digestive function and devoted myself to teaching people about food and the health it could create. I began my career in a pharmacy, a place with which I was unfamiliar. On my very first day I slammed face first into the broken medical system of haphazard prescribing of unnecessary medications that dragged the patient deeper into illness one medication at a time requiring even more medication to handle the side effects. I steeled myself and persevered for five years…
now I offer women something different
I have returned to my roots to combine tradition with science to teach women how to use food to connect symptoms to story and action to outcomes so they heal themselves, care for their family and create community for a happier, healthier, more connected world. I believe the body can heal and that each person is bio-chemically unique requiring a personal wellness plan. I believe that good nutrition builds a strong foundation of health and resilience.
