Cultured Foods for Vital Health - Building community and immunity...

Humans have been fermenting foods and reaping the benefits for ages.  It's only in the last 100 years or so we moved away from them. We now understand that's not a good idea as our bodies rely on these microbes for balanced health. In fact they out number our human cells 10 to 1.  They like it when we feed them.  Learn the basics of natural pickling a.k.a "fermentation" and get cultured!  These foods are essential to human health. For those in their childbearing years, who are often told to not consume foods that aren't pasteurized, these are not a concern, in fact quite the opposite.  We discuss how to slowly incorporate these foods into anyone's diet*.  I've been culturing foods around 15 years and am trained as a Master Food Preserver through Seattle Tilth. As an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, I love helping others reap the myriads of benefits of cultured vegetables, these golden keys to good health.  *People with candida concerns should avoid fermented foods until they've completed a thorough candida cleanse.  

Typical seasonal ferment classes may look like the following but are always shifting and can be voted on for a months lesson: 
January: Beet Kvass
February:  Sauerkraut with beets and ginger - perfect pink pickled watermelon radish!
March: Sauerkraut with caraway seed/essential oil and prebiotics 
April:  Using Beet Kvass to make pickled eggs,  Sauerkraut with carrot, dandelion and prebiotics
May:  Pickled preserved lemons 
June: Gingered beets and coleslaw kraut
July  - Cultured Condiments: Ketchup / Mayonnaise  - Reduce hidden sugar in your diet, add probiotics and all the flavor! 
July: Something from my CSA farm box.  Ferment what is abundant and ideally local! 
August:  Something from my CSA farm box.  Ferment what is abundant and ideally local! 
September: Something from my CSA farm box.  Ferment what is abundant and ideally local! 
October:  Fall Sauerkraut / Pumpkin ferment
November:  Fall Ferment / preserved citrus
December: Kimchi

Other classes coming soon:
The Art of the Foot Bath  Includes understanding the different salts, clays, essential oils and their unique benefits, amounts for blending your own with reflexology and acupressure tips for common wellness needs with room for you to ask your specific questions.  Class will provide a link to purchase a foot bath basin and supplies if you don't already have your own.  
Acupressure for general and seasonal wellness  Enjoy the power of different points within each season of the year for easy self care. You'll learn a simple routine with just a *handful* of points.  Includes education on combining essential oils with the points for another layer of benefit.  

Below classes are available for private sessions


The Loving Hands Art of Infant Massage
 / Private classes offered / $125 in-home - $100 online Zoom - includes packet and resources (mailed if Zoom class) with starter infant massage oil. 
See scheduler to register for a private class
In this class you'll learn:

  • a full body massage for baby
  • natural body oils and essential oils for baby
  • soothing environment and healthy caregiver body mechanics
  • acupressure and reflexology techniques to support wellness and promote good sleep

How to bring healing for infant woes such as:

  • colic and digestive issues
  • teething
  • coughs, ear infections, conjunctivitis
  • torticollis

Class includes info. packet for home study/reference.  
Class can be taken prenatally (if you want to be familiar with the routine before baby arrives, you can practice on a doll/teddy.  This way, you'll be more confident with the moves and you can begin to trace the movements with your baby from the beginning) or you can do with baby postnatally in the early mos. Thank you!  

Deepen your bond and communication with baby using pleasurable rhythmic, intelligent touch.  Parents and caregivers report feeling deeply calmed themselves by the ritual with more confidence in their ability to provide wellness care for their little ones.  And, if you're curious about infant pottying, this is a great time to ask questions about it as we're observing baby closely and tuning into baby's signals.


Infant Pottying This practice deepens communication with baby and helps parents reduce their eco-footprint and save money by reducing diaper use!   Also called Elimination Communication, it builds trust and a solid communication foundation.  Another name for it is Natural Infant Hygiene and still it is wet and messy at times, but, so are diaper changes!  In fact cleaning up a potty poop vs. diaper poop is way nicer ;)  Be green, build trust & meet your baby's need to eliminate away from their body - naturally.   This practice does take focus early on and requires all care givers to be on board, but it eliminates the need for potty training later on which has been a dream for my family.  In this class, you'll learn the techniques and tips you'll need to get your family "going" from the beginning.
