Who is Wellness Mama?

I’m Katie- I started my personal journey as a “Wellness Mama” almost a decade ago when my first child was born and I read that his generation would be the first in centuries to have a shorter life expectancy than their parents.

Since then, I’ve been on my own journey to make natural living and real food eating doable- even with a big family, a busy schedule and a lot of distractions.

To truly make changes, we have to do this together. Join this awesome community of natural moms (link to email sign up) and check out all of my practical healthy living resources for families.
