My journey started in a home and kitchen of course! I’ll always deeply value one of my first jobs as a nanny for a family of chiropractors when I was just 19. The mother, Rachel, would hand write out recipes for the kids and I to make together. They would instruct me to send Katelyn out to their garden to pick fresh vegetables and even ground herbs & spices in a mortar and pestle. When the kids were sick, they would have me make herbal teas and give them their homemade tinctures to nurse them back to health. Everything about their home and world revolved around using NATURE to NURTURE. Eventually I was asked to come and help at their family office and events teaching the public and patients about their nervous systems, our magnificent and intelligent design and of course… holistic health and wellness. And so it began…
Today, you’ll find me at homeschooling and local mommy meetups with my little girl Sunny in tow talking everything ridiculously crunchy and attending local events educating the community on simple tricks to staying well. Crunchy Cottage is a passion I’ve grown and a purpose that I get to pour out that’s always evolving, as we all do. I think I’ve always known I’d land somewhere in this space and I’m so grateful to be giving back in the same way that I have been given to!
