Herbal Wellness and Nutrition Consultations

I have a commitment to health, to fostering that in myself as well as doing what I can with the "tools" I have to foster that in others. I am passionate about health and wellness in the many ways it presents itself and in the many ways we can manifest that for a well rounded self, society, family, and community. This is where the change happens, the personal and community revolution can begin! As an herbalist I attempt to give people an alternative to choices about health, the knowledge to put their health back into their own hands with the help of herbs and nutrition, and the guidance as a practicing clinical herbalist to do so. Nutriton and what we physically put into our mouths is one of the most crucial elements in the health of our body. So much of the 'fuel' we put into our bodies comes directly from the foods we eat, from the nutrients we ingest. So if you want to get the most out of your body for your every day, if you want to feel ALIVE, if you want to keep rockin' in everything you do...then you must look more closely at food as your fuel! As part of the Wellness Consultations, Roots Wise offers nutrition counseling to get REAL food back into your life and your lifestyle. The nutrition consultations take a look at how food fits into your life, what foods fit into your life, how your food choices affect your overall health or any specific health issues you may have and how you can incorporate healthy choices into each meal to get the most out of life! The main goals of the consults are to facilitate lifestyle awareness, explore alternative and practical options to promote healthy lifestyle decision making and to pass on the tools to take appropriate action. Food is also your fuel for action, adventure and FUN! Movement and physical activity is the other crucial component to health. Roots Wise has teamed up with Mocean365, an action and adventure based movement powerhouse, who offers "Personal and Group Training to get you prepared for ripping in the outdoors no matter if you are hucking cliffs or chasing the kids. Led by a trainer who lives and breathes Action each and everyday possible. The workouts are done outside whenever possible and are designed to be effective, complete and though challenging; are very FUN! It is possible to take a creative, systematic and progressive approach to your physical conditioning." Check out their website at www.mocean365.com. Together Roots Wise and Mocean365 will inspire, educate and get people moving and feeling better than ever by offering dynamic workshops centered around physical health through movement and nutrition.
