So lets talk a little more about what it looks like to really replenish our systems.
You and I both know we don’t have control over what life throws at us - I can te...

Its an amazingly foreign concept in our modern culture - we’ve somehow come to the idea that or bodies are dirty and need to be detoxed regularly. While its true that detoxification needs to be happening regularly, it actually happens best when our bodies are deeply nourished.

2020-12-2910 minThe Wellness Restoration ProjectEP 03 - Herbalism vs Western Medicine - How they are differentSo you like the idea of using more natural ways to heal.. and maybe you’ve tried a few things? Some of them stick and some, eh... not so much.

Let me show you how!

2020-12-2910 minThe Wellness Restoration ProjectEP 02 - The Legacy of a Grandfather, a story about chronic diseaseOver the final years of my grandfather's life, he enrolled in as many research studies as he could. He had decided that even if he couldn’t regain his health, he could participate in research to help stop the awful disease he was suffering with, from robbing his children and grandchildren of their health.
I had no idea the results from that research would lead me to a job and then on to the decision to pursue a formal education in herbs, nutrition and more.
