Family wellness is something that we strive for everyday; It is not always easy and we do not have all of the answers, but our passion for wellness and our passion for healthy families has led us to helping others through education and empowerment.
Our Story
After our first son was born we often talked about what we wanted for our son as he was growing up, and one of the things that came up time and time again was that we wanted to be encouraging healthy behaviors. Well, in order for our son to grow up with healthy behaviors, that meant that we needed to model them! So we really took a good look at our own healthy habits and quickly realized that what we THOUGHT was healthy was NOT very healthy in reality. We started doing research on healthy diets, healthy products, and health in general. While doing this, we were astounded at the amount of harmful chemicals in all of our daily products. Things that may seem small, but ADD UP quickly; especially when using these products on a daily (sometimes more frequent) basis! Needless to say we were motivated to make some changes! We tackled things in baby steps and swapped out harmful products one category at a time. The 4 main categories we focused on included our: food, cleaning products, skin care products, and medicine cabinet. 3+ years later we are still striving to be healthier (its an ongoing process), but we are proud to say that we have successfully begun to tackle these 4 categories and have noticed a big difference in our overall health and happiness. We now strive to educate others about the importance of doing the same. Living a more natural lifestyle has lead us down a path of increased longevity and we want others to experience the same.
