how Living Earth Beauty™ came to be

I grew up in Massachusetts and moved the West Coast after college. I graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor’s degree in Art History and English Literature from Brown University. My career began in the art world, but after six years, I was not happy. . . I knew that I was not living my purpose or giving my deepest gifts. I left my career and allowed time and space for my passions to grow, and for what I would do with them to come to me. During this time of reflection and dedication to growth, I began focusing even more intensely on healing the lifetime of chronic illnesses that I had been accumulating. I had come to a place in my life where I was no longer willing to accept the fact that illness was something I had to live with.

I have always been an extraordinarily sensitive being. Over the years, poor diet, antibiotics and other pharmaceuticals, vaccines, water filled with chlorine, fluoride, and heavy metals, chemical skin care, and stored emotions ravaged my body. I have suffered from Leaky Gut Syndrome, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Metabolic Syndrome, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Hypothyroidism, Psoriasis, Eczema, Acne and other skin conditions, food allergies, Chronic Fatigue, Severe Acid Reflux, and Rheumatoid Arthritis… to name a few… and I am only 31 years old!

Disheartened by both the allopathic and naturopathic medical help I received over my lifetime, I decided to take responsibility for my own health and researched, researched, researched endlessly for years, as I still do today. I thrive on learning new things and I am such a nerd when it comes to health! I began healing myself actively and naturally, knowing that a pill could not cure me. I have tried it all, every diet, every medicine, every cream, every supplement, therapy – physical, emotional, and energetic. The last seven years have been a process of coming into consciousness and connecting with my body. It’s been a long process of putting the pieces together, but once they came together, my healing was rapid, astoundingly so. My passion for self-healing grew into my gift to others! I am now a certified Holistic Health and Nutrition Counselor and I have created Living Earth Beauty in order to dramatically improve your health and well-being.

I feel that we can only be truly healthy and happy when we are in communion with nature through what we put in our bodies and on our bodies. What we put on our skin is equally as important as the food we eat. Skin care should not only be as purely from nature as possible, but it should be pleasurable to enjoy – a delight to our senses, making us feel vibrant, beautiful, nourished, and joyful.

how I healed myself

After being on an extremely pure diet for many years and trying every method of healing both natural and medical, I was ready to take it to the next level. Three days after returning from our honeymoon, I went 100% raw overnight, and I have never looked back!
I have been a 100% raw vegan for over a year now, and it has completely changed my life!  It is impossible to explain or understand how eating 100% raw affects your body and your life unless you have done it. There is nothing I have ever done that has enhanced my life quite like this. Eating raw has gifted me with boundless energy, mental clarity, evenness of mood, hormonal balance, a profound connection with my body, more powerful and tuned intuition, a vastly increased connection with spirit and nature, surprisingly heightened senses, hugely increased sensitivity, my ideal weight, my aging has reversed and my skin is beautiful and glowing. Raw, organic plant-based foods and skincare have had the most profoundly healing effect on my body of any healing method I have ever tried!

The body is the most advanced self-repairing mechanism in existence. The body wants to heal and when given even half the chance, it will! Today, I am more vibrant and healthy than I ever have been in my life. Raw food and raw skincare has helped me achieve a state of health that all beings are gifted with the opportunity to enjoy, but few of us can even conceive of! … and I am still healing… imagine where I’ll be in a few more years!!! Living a “raw” life has become about much more than healing… it has improved my life and the lives of those around me. The vibrancy I now radiate has inspired others. I always say, “when I feel this GOOD, why would I ever want to feel bad again?!”

my philosophy

I believe that Nature is the visible face of the divine. Our spiritual connection to Nature helps us understand ourselves. The Earth has been designed perfectly with everything we need to thrive and reach our highest potential. Every plant is the perfect nourishment for our bodies, and the perfect medicine to heal any ailment. Food is meant to be eaten and herbs and oils used on our skin, purely as they come out of the Earth!
We are designed to flourish, both inside and outside by staying true to what has been gifted to us from the Earth. Everything that has been provided for us is perfect. The Earth is a creation of divine perfection. We cannot improve upon nature. Our attempts to “do better” than nature, only cause damage to our bodies and damage to the earth. We are natural beings, made of organic materials and anything non-organic is a poison to our system.

By caring for our bodies with the gifts that the earth has provided us with, we are most connected to our power, divinity, health, and happiness.
What we put on our bodies, what we eat, how we treat the earth, how we treat animals, and how we treat each other… TRULY MATTERS!

my mission for living earth beauty

I have always LOVED skincare! It has been a way for me to deeply care for myself. A way that I feel connected to myself, my body, and my sensuality. It makes me feel alive, nourished, and in touch with my divine feminine nature.  I have also lived with Psoriasis my entire life, acne for half my life, and very reactive skin, so I have always had to search out skincare that would be healing and effective. My knowledge and passion for skincare has been an organic companion to my study of nutrition, as the two go hand-in-hand. As my knowledge of health and nutrition has increased, so has my knowledge about healthy skincare. My standards for quality and purity are the highest possible. Caring for my sacred, organic body, with organic ingredients from nature, untainted, exactly as they are given, not only makes infinite sense to me, it is the only way to live!

My mission is to create as much health and happiness on the planet as possible, this is why I have envisioned and created Living Earth Beauty as my offering to you. I desire to share the incredible products I believe in and am passionate about, with as many people as possible – so we can all benefit from their nourishment and love.
