Get to Know Us

Mary’s Story
Mary’s journey to holistic living began during her battle with infertility, which sparked a profound transformation in her approach to wellness. This life-changing experience led her to leave a decade-long career and pursue her true calling as a Registered Holistic Nutritionist.

When she’s not writing for the blog or creating recipes in the kitchen, Mary enjoys reading (usually juggling at least two books), with a particular interest in healthy living, ancestral wisdom, business, and real estate. But her happiest moments are spent playing imaginative games with her kids, led by her son’s wild creativity.

Karen’s Story
Mary and Karen first met in high school gym class and have been close friends ever since. Now, as moms, they share a love for raising healthy families and are passionate about all things holistic and natural.

Though Karen grew up in the city, she dreams of owning a hobby farm one day, drawn to the slower pace of country life. Baking is Karen’s true passion—she’d choose whipping up banana muffins over making dinner any day! However, her dedication to providing her family with wholesome, home-cooked meals keeps her exploring new recipes. When she’s not in the kitchen, Karen is often outside playing with her kids, tending her garden, or planning next year’s crops during the off-season.
