Meet Candace
I’m a health writer and mom!
My path to holistic wellness didn’t begin in a health food store. It began in 2009, sitting with immunocompromised patients living with HIV/AIDS, watching them navigate the brutal side effects of the medications keeping them alive. I started asking different questions — about healing, about the body, about science-backed, natural remedies available for our restoration.
Those questions never left me.
A background in journalism and years working alongside nonprofits focused on family sustainability taught me that wellness is never just physical. A healthy body paired with an unhealthy mind, spirit, or relationship creates imbalance. Holistic care for a person has to check all the boxes.
From Indiana to Southern California, Southern Nevada to North Texas, I’ve learned to pay attention to what the earth offers. I’m raising my daughter with that same curiosity — for the Earth’s natural gifts, for the beauty in our own backyard, and for the adventure waiting just beyond it.

A Note on Wellness
I’m not a medical professional, and I’ll always tell you that. I am simply someone who’s done the research, lived the experiments, and kept asking the questions. Everything shared here is meant to complement your own care — not replace it.
