foreword
Welcome frisky critter and upstream swimmer. You’re here venturing forth on a veggie-laden path to wellness.
To proceed you must be able to think for yourself, let go of the millions of advertisements that have etched themselves across your mind and come back to good ol’ common sense.
You already know everything you need to know to thrive and be well.
We’re just here to remind you, hold your hand as you rediscover how easy it is to prioritize your self-care and finally start loving yourself.
The greatest acts of courage do not require shields, swords or armour. No amount of tanks or bullets or bulldozers will ever be stronger than the integrity you will create with yourself when you finally start to choose the foods, people and experiences that lift you higher.
This is your body.
This is your life.
You have the right to thrive and we’re here to help you make it happen.
One parsley sprig at a time.
In love and enlightenment,
