Julie is a Canadian Herbalist, Wild Food Forager, and Holistic Nutritional Coach. 

She’s an Indigenous Anishinaabe Métis woman from Northern Ontario.  She enjoys spending time in nature, experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, and creating nourishing meals for her family.  She has many years of experience working with medicinal and edible plants, and has more recently discovered her new passion of wild mushroom picking.  She is an avid gardener, a food fermenter, outdoors enthusiast, and homestead mom and wife.

As an adult,  Julie struggled with obesity.  She suffered from leaky gut syndrome, chronic diarrhea, very poor digestion, chronic joint pain, chronic fatigue and anxiety.   In 2015, Julie was diagnosed with multiple autoimmune disorders such as Lymphocytic Colitis, Arthritis and Autoimmune Inner Ear Disease.

Modern Western Medicine was not helping.  She was no longer able to function in the fast paced world we live in.  She was sick and unable to enjoy life.   Julie eventually realized that conventional medicine was just a temporary bandaid and wasn’t helping her reach her ultimate goal of being disease free.

This put Julie on a mission to better educate herself about Nutrition and Health. She wanted to heal herself.  She focused on healthy eating, a balanced lifestyle, using herbal medicines, eating wild foods, and fostering a deep connection with Mother Earth.

Today, Julie is thriving and living pain free.  Her colitis is in remission and she remarkably shed 100 pounds of excess weight.  Julie understands more than ever, that true healing comes from a well nourished and balanced mind, body and being.
