1. Describe your lifestyle. (ex. Dietary, family needs, fitness / routine support etc.)

-My family splits our time between a house in Vancouver and a house in the remote wilderness, a few hours north of Whistler, B.C. We love the city, but our house in the mountains feels more like “home” to us. It’s an off-the-grid place run on solar power. We don’t have a television, and it’s out of cell range. Without those distractions we‘re able to really spend quality time together, talk and connect.

2. What does Spud mean to you- what do you love about Spud?

– To me, Spud means buying groceries from the comfort of my couch. It means organic food delivered right to my door. No buckling little ones in & out of car seats, and no carrying heavy bags while wrangling children.

3. Top 3 favouritego-to’s @ Spud? 

– Eden Organic Sauerkraut: Perfectly epitomizes “food as medicine”.

– SeaSnax Seaweed Snack: Packed with trace minerals and my toddler loves them too.

– Great Lakes Collagen Hydrolysate: Highly recommended for pregnancy! Helps keep joints strong, stretching skin supple and digestion healthy.

4. This staple is always in my fridge:

– Traditionally fermented food. I’m convinced it cures all.

5. Define Community. What is your desire for ours?

– “It takes a village” certainly became more apparent after I had children. I quickly realized that everything feels easier and more enjoyable when you reach out and embrace your community.

6. Who do you support?

– I strive to support women by helping them understand what their body truly needs and showing them how to instill healthy habits that will last a lifetime.

7. Declare: Your Personal Manifesto

“Eat real food!”
