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

If you’ve ever found yourself praying for peace while also Googling “healthy dinners that don’t taste like cardboard,” you’re in the right place.

This little corner of the internet is where faith meets food, health meets holiness, and your kitchen becomes a place of grace—not guilt.

With over 20 years in the health and wellness world, I've had the honour of working with incredible people, guiding them toward vibrant living. And along the way, something clicked: the best wellness advice wasn’t always coming from textbooks or trendy health blogs—it was already there, woven through the wisdom of the Saints and the Ancient Orthodox Christian Tradition.

Here, I explore how our faith speaks into our physical and emotional well-being.

Spoiler alert: it’s not just about green smoothies and supplements (though those have their place). It’s about honouring the beautiful, whole person God created—body, mind, and soul.

Let’s face it: anxiety, stress, and burnout can show up on our skin, in our digestion, or in that feeling of “blah” we can’t shake. But our Creator didn’t design us to live disconnected from ourselves—or from Him. True healing happens when we tend to all parts of who we are.

This space is for women who are ready to break free from diet culture, stop obsessing over every bite, and finally feel good in their bodies without giving up joy or chocolate. Because yes—you can nourish your body, glorify God, and still enjoy that sourdough.

My approach is grounded in five pillars:

Joy Matters – If it isn’t enjoyable, it isn’t sustainable. Let’s ditch the misery and find the joy in health.
Start Small, Go Big – No overwhelm here. We make small, doable changes that build real momentum.
Personalized for You – This isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your journey, your goals, your pace.
Seasonal Living – Reconnect with the rhythms God placed in creation—it’s surprisingly healing.
Build Body Awareness – Learn to tune into your body, shift your mindset, and experience true freedom around food.

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.
