Interested in learning more about Perimenopause? I’m thinking about offering a 3-part virtual workshop or small group program on Perimenopause Support.

If that sounds helpful, let me know by clicking the link below to receive more information when I am ready.

We’d cover what perimenopause is, what’s happening with your hormones, and how to support yourself naturally with food, herbs, lifestyle habits, and gentle stretches.

25 years ago I started writing, one year ago I picked it back up. Today I “finished.” Still needs edits, I’m sure many revisions. Maybe it sucks. maybe it won’t ever be more than a stack of papers in my office. Or Maybe it will be a book on your shelf. But right now I’m pretty darn proud bc I wrote a novel!!! And no - nothing to do with nutrition! 😆

Looking for a new way to eat melon? Try it with cucumber & basil! Dress it with olive oil, lime juice, honey & salt.

I used 2 cups melon, 1 cup cucumber, 2 tablespoons chopped basil, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1.5 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon honey, and sea salt to taste.

I’m so grateful for the growing community of AFL retreaters :). It’s started with a vision and has become a beautiful reality. And it just keeps getting better.

“Nose to tail” cooking with carrots! 🥕
making my carrot ginger soup for the upcoming PAUSE spring retreat. And using every part of the carrot, the tops will go in my discard bag and used for making vegetable broth, and peelings will go to the chickens. They love them.!
