~ Kitchen Herbalism ~ Seasonal Nourishment ~ Slow Living ~ Feasting & Fasting ~ Tending the inner garden
Welcome!
My name is Jassie. I am an Orthodox Christian, wife and mother.
I am formally trained in Functional Nutrition and Clinical Herbalism and have spent the last two decades having the privilege of working as a Holistic Nutritional Practitioner and Herbalist, as well as founding and operating a 10 year Seasonal Herbal Shop and Herbal Box Subscription. These days I homeschool and educate others on the subjects of nutrition and herbalism - with the occasional 1:1 session thrown in.
My greatest inspiration is a belief that (re)connection with God is an essential part of our true wellness.
This space is dedicated to (re)build bridges between ourselves, our bodies and to God through the connection of His Creation - the seasons. Teaching and writing about simple ways to bring whole food, seasonal/liturgical living and kitchen medicinal herbs back into our everyday.
Teaching from my 20 years experience in clinical practice supporting woman on their individual health journeys.

We don’t come to the table to fight or defend.
We don’t come to prove or to conquer, to draw lines in the sand or to stir up trouble.
We come to the table because our hunger brings us there.
We come with a need, with fragility, with an admission of our humility.
The table is a great equalizer, the level playing field many of us have been looking everywhere for.
The table is the place where the doing stops, the trying stops, the masks are removed, and we allow ourselves to be nourished, like children.
We allow someone else to meet our need.
In a world that prides people on not having needs, on going longer and faster, on going without, on powering through, the table is a place of safety and rest and humility, where we are allowed to be as fragile as we feel.
If the home is a body, the table is the heart, the beating center, the sustainer of life and health.
Come to the table.
- A place of rest.
Come to me, all you are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest -Matthew 11:28
