First a little bit about me and how this business has evolved over the years. I started my personal journey as 'The Organictarian' when I developed health issues in 2010 (hyperthyroidism, Grave's disease and stage 4 endometriosis). Yes all 3 in the same year. I learned that the 'health food' I was eating and the personal care products I was using at the time were contributing to my diseases/disord
ers. I made a choice in 2011 after my laparoscopic surgery that I had to make BIG changes to my lifestyle or my health would continue to deteriorate. And yes, all of my conventional medicine tests, bloodwork and physical exams up to that point revealed I was 'healthy.'
So I started on a journey to reverse my conditions and gain back my health. I am happy to report that it has been over 10 years since I have reversed my conditions. I love using my own experience and education/knowledge to help other people become healthier. We decided to move out to the country to an acreage (now 3 years ago) so I could start growing my own herbs and homestead. This led to The Organictarian evolving into Nature Nurture Wellness. I will forever be The Organictarian as everything we grow is organic. My values and beliefs have not changed. With my new business venture, I will be offering botanical products, homesteading products, workshops/retreats and healing/wellness jewelry. I am an academic with 20+ years of experience in curriculum design and lab/course/workshop facilitation. 25+ years experience working with botanicals. My journey started at Olds College in horticulture. I have had some amazing jobs/positions in the botanical, environmental and agricultural industries. I hope to help as many people as I can live a happier and healthier life sharing what I have learned, experienced and continue to learn.
