“I am the owner and founder of Wholistic Woman. Prior to starting Wholistic Woman I spent 25 years creating and growing Total Health Foods Natural Grocery & Cafe, a full service natural and organic market and deli. As well, I have been a practicing birth worker and midwife.

I am the mother of four children and fifteen grandchildren who came into my world to teach me about love and life, and for that I will be forever grateful. Even as child, I was always an entrepreneur and then I fell into birth work and midwifery in the 1980s after discovering midwives for myself and how their support empowered me and others to give birth with dignity and autonomy.

Besides my children, grandchildren, three dogs, and beautiful friends, my favorite things are herbs, organizations, books and writing, cooking whole foods, talking, and regenerative farming. I have made and used medicinal teas for decades. I love that as much as I tried to stop making them, you the customers and the teas themselves, have not let it happen. Now I am ready to take my tea sales to the next level and make all their goodness available in new and bigger ways - new teas to drink along with the old favorites - and more education coming your way.

Having decided it was time to retire from living an on-call life, I am now providing Women’s Health & Healing Coaching to carry forward my legacy and love of listening and helping clients visualize and reach their life goals and dreams. I help clients discover and address the obstacles that have kept them stuck and not moving forward and support them as they take the steps to resolve them, and celebrate with them as they do.
