I’m Jassie, an Orthodox Christian, a wife, mother and Registered Functional Nutritional Therapist and Herbalist. - turned homeschool mum and educator.

If you are seeking faith-based insights for caring for both your body and soul, I hope this corner of the internet serves you well. Through my experiences in providing nutritional guidance, I've come to realize that the health practices I advocate for my patients are often rooted in the wisdom of the saints and church fathers of our ancient Orthodox Christian tradition. This connection is truly profound. Here, I delve into what our faith reveals about health care, drawing from my lived experience, with the intention of enriching our everyday approach to life. With two decades in the health and wellness sector, I've had the privilege of working alongside remarkable individuals. These interactions have given me a deeper understanding of the challenges people face in their kitchens. I'm dedicated to helping you rediscover a simpler, more joyful cooking experience and to teaching you practical ways to incorporate more nutritious and medicinal plants into your daily routine.

I believe our health and faith are interconnected. God created us as complete beings—body, mind, and soul. This connection is evident when emotional states like anxiety manifest physically, leading to symptoms such as hives or even pain that can contribute to depression. During these times, our minds crave peace and clarity while our souls reach out to God, even when our minds struggle to comprehend or our bodies find it difficult to kneel in prayer.

Life is a precious gift that should not be overlooked or disregarded. For Christians, living for Christ entails a serious commitment to faith. However, we must also consider the life He has bestowed upon us. Is our focus solely on our spiritual well-being, or do we encompass our physical and mental health as well? How do we honor God with our bodies? When engaging in spiritual practices, is our physical condition nurtured and cared for, or have we allowed it to be forgotten or mistreated?

Failing to care for our bodies means we are not fully appreciating one of God’s invaluable gifts. I wish to assist you in learning how to honor God across all aspects of your life—integrating your faith with your physical and mental health. If this message resonates with you, consider subscribing to my newsletter, Tending The Table. We will delve into a Christ-centered perspective on health, exploring how to address illness while thriving with the exceptional resources God has provided—in both our bodies and the environment around us.

I'm on a mission to help women break free from diet culture, find balance, and actually enjoy nourishing their bodies.

Picture this: having the health, confidence, and feeling good in your body—without sacrificing joy or flavor. Say goodbye to complicated plans and meal guilt; it’s all about savoring good food, feeling amazing, and living life without stressing about food.

I know how it feels to chase every diet and detox. I spent years caught in that frustrating cycle—feeling restricted and wondering if food would ever feel easy. What I really craved was the freedom to enjoy food, feel vibrant, and fully embrace life.

My approach is founded on five key pillars:

Joy Matters. Enjoyment is crucial; if it isn’t sustainable, it's not the right fit. A healthy lifestyle that brings joy (and delicious flavors) becomes something you’ll want to maintain.

Start Small, Go Big. I help you implement simple, manageable changes that fit seamlessly into your life, rather than forcing you to change everything at once.

Personalized for You. Lasting transformation isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your plan is specifically designed to address your unique needs and journey.

Seasonal Living. Connecting with seasonal eating and your surroundings can enhance your health and help you flow with the natural rhythms of life.

Building Body Awareness. With educational resources and mindset coaching, you’ll reconnect with your body and gain a fresh perspective on nutrition, allowing for greater freedom around food.

If you're looking to simplify, rejuvenate, and radiate from within, let's connect for a discovery call. Together, we’ll design a wellness journey that is uniquely tailored to you.

Some Things I Believe... So We Are On The Same Page...

• I believe that human beings are complex - and because of this our needs and relationships around cooking eating and food is also complex.

• I believe that home cooking does not have to be complicated to be good, nor does it have to take a lot of time or money to be satisfying.

• I do not believe that the word “healthy” means the same thing as the word “skinny.” or the same to everyone - This is a judgment free space.

• I believe that diet culture has robbed many of the joy of cooking and exploration - and I hope to help you discover peace around this -as I too have adventured through this struggle.

• I believe in God - and like to talk about my faith.

• I believe that our kitchens are the best places to connect with our bodies, God and each other, a place where we can find common ground around the table. I worry that many people feel so disconnected and lost in their kitchens. I hope to be a help in this area.
