Authentic health can't be separated from our relationship with the Earth.
When I started this business in 2010, I felt a calling to help others, specifically women, become healthy and empowered. To me, empowerment means really understanding nutrition and how food and lifestyle affect us, because there are so many trends, fads, MLM companies selling shakes and supplements, mega-mogul weight loss companies advertising day and night, pharmaceutical "cures" and conflicting nutritional information coming out weekly that folks are understandably confused and frustrated.
But the heart of what I've realized over the years is that our toxic diet culture has our focus all wrong: we're not unhealthy because we're overweight, we're overweight because we're unhealthy. Once you start looking at weight as the symptom it is and not the source of the problem, all those diets and weight loss meds can be seen for what they are: distractions from healthy, lasting lifestyle change. That means healthy plant-based nutrition, herbal helps and remedies as our go-tos rather than an afterthought, being active, and connecting with nature. These are the foundations of what I teach in the Wise Woman Prescribing Method, and how I help women get off the hamster wheel of dieting and dis-ease to experience lasting health inside and out.
I have over 20 years experience in the health and wellness field, beginning my career as a yoga instructor. I'm a certified Personal Trainer and Lifestyle & Weight Management Coach, as well as a Diabetes Prevention Counselor. I am certified through Cornell University in both Plant-Based Nutrition and as a Medicinal Plants Expert, and graduated with honors from the Academy of Culinary Nutrition's rigorous education and training program as a Professional Culinary Nutritionist. I've also been deepening my journey as an Herbalist by working directly with Rosemary Gladstar's team at The Science & Art of Herbalism. I'm honored to say I've successfully helped thousands of women to become their healthiest and most empowered selves.

"For anyone looking to better their overall health and vitality, Lori’s inspirational, exciting, practical program is a great resource. Lori's dedication and practicality shine forth to touch the ones who seek a change for the better and wish to assume full responsibility for their health. Her program is clear and easy to follow and a great empowering tool to share with friends, bringing like-minded people together.
On the path to health we shed what does not serve us - internal and external patterns that hold us back. We may sometimes have the feeling of being alone and unsupported in the world but the fact is we are never alone and are always supported and guided back to ourselves, healed, whole and complete. Greatness can come when one is open to receive guidance, and when one is willing to change patterns.
I congratulate Lori on creating such a meaningful tool. May her message of happiness, vitality & good health always light the path for others!"
