Growing up in a small town that is apart of the Appalachian Mountains in the western region of North Carolina, I’ve been surrounded by nature my entire life. It inspires me daily to see the natural beauty of the world I live in. Since I was young, I’ve always had a passion for doing good to not only the Earth, but to our bodies that allow us to explore it. Growing up my mother was always including me in helping her make healthy meals, natural body care, and taking me on adventures through the beautiful place I can call home. As I got older, my interest into living closely to the Earth and taking care of it only expanded. I see a direct connection between the love we have for our planet to the love we have for our own wellbeing and health.
