Master of Science, Nutrition Specialist, Herbalist, Chef, Teacher, and Mother, are all callings that I may answer to, yet I am far more than just a list of titles. I live as a ball of energy aligned in harmony. Within and without I have grown to sea Whealth--- that is wholistic nourishment of my mind, body, soul and most importantly the womb. What we feed on (mentally, physically, and spiritually) is what we teach the generations that we create. From my experience within this journey of life, living, and healing, I now know that the secrets to Whealth all lie in the mindset. Just as our temples eat for its energy needs, our minds eat in a system of energy exchange. Thus, the things that we choose to feed on very much determines the quality of life that we see on this Earth. I am here as a resource for all who may follow. Let us mindfully feed and heal wholistically. Your abundance awaits.
