My father was my first teacher. He was a brilliant scientist, teacher, yogi and lifelong student of all things wellness. I watched him reverse his heart disease with dietary changes, yoga, and natural interventions. Our kitchen counters were covered in homemade sprouts, natural potions, and new recipes. This is when my interest and passion for wellness began. I truly believe that when we advocate and take charge of our own health, we can experience a better quality of life and a deeper connection to our bodies and minds. Ive spent the majority of my life learning and practicing the wellness principles I was taught together with my biology and psychology background. This became all the more important after I turned 40 and experienced many changes both in my mind and body. My passion is to share this knowledge and to help other women navigate this often confusing time in a safe and caring community. The BFF community is a safe space for women over 40 to gain the knowledge and motivation to live a fulfilling and healthy life.
