ALOHA, MY FRIEND 🌺
I’M DARA, AND I’M SO GLAD YOU FOUND YOUR WAY HERE.
I’m a women’s Wellness Mentor and Transformational Coach, a badass Healthy Chef, Kitchen Alchemist and Nutrition Nerd.
I’m an enthusiastic proponent of what I call Sovereign Self-Care, where we as women stop outsourcing our health to outdated systems and instead empower ourselves with knowledge that allows us to care for ourselves wisely and aligned with Nature and the wisdom of our primal animal bodies.
It’s my mission to inspire and guide women to take charge and instill radical self-care practices that keep them feeling fully nourished, radiantly alive, thriving and well, to be a resource to women so they can be empowered with knowledge and strategies for improving their well-being, health, and vitality!
I spent decades teaching about health through the lens of nutrition and food, but these days I’m most excited about sharing the powerful transformative practices, simple habits and hacks, and perspectives that have made a huge difference in the quality of my own life after a decade and a half of studying health and wellness in depth, biohacking and trying all the new fads, and finally tuning into the power of ancestral ways of living more in tune with the earth and elements – and to the power of deeply nourishing our bodies that is more in alignment with our ancient human physiology.
I’m excited to connect and help you create and nurture your own Radiant Health, more peace + joy, and deeper connection with nature, plants and all of the elements.
OFFERINGS INCLUDE:
• Wellness Mentoring & Transformational Coaching for women
• Resources, Recipes & Wisdom for Sovereign Self-Care
• Culinary + Nutrition Instruction, Private Chef Work & Small Event Catering
Along the windy path to radiant wellness, I’ve learned…
⚖️ FOOD IS MEDICINE, BUT IT’S MOST DEFINITELY NOT THE ONLY FACTOR IN YOUR HEALTH.
Diet matters, but ALL other aspects of lifestyle factor into your health equation too: breath, light, toxins, exercise, relationships, sleep, connection to nature, etc. ALL OF IT MATTERS, and indeed it is a fine balance.
🚫 DIET DOGMA AND RESTRICTION WILL NOT HEAL ME! OR YOU!
I tried all of the trendy diets: intermittent fasting, low-carb, keto, raw food, Bulletproof, etc etc. All of them are simply band-aids, creating short-term results and healing that doesn’t last. It is extremely rare that these extreme diets work in the long-term for women. We evolved eating food to have energy to work and to simply survive, not to conform to modern media’s standards for beauty and thinness. Ugh😝 So let’s get back to the basics of fueling ourselves with simple, deeply nourishing foods that are in alignment with our evolutionary heritage, incorporating the nutritional wisdom of our thriving, healthy ancestors.
🔑 STRATEGIES FOR SOVEREIGN SELF-CARE ARE KEY.
Knowing how to take care of ourselves is crucial. In this day and age, contracting out your health and well-being out to doctors and practitioners will almost always lead you astray. It’s so important to have the understanding of your body’s physiology and how we evolved into these complex humans that we are, and the mismatch between the world we live in now and the one we evolved in
🧬 DO WHAT WORKS FOR YOU, NOT WHAT WORKS FOR ME OR HER OVER THERE!
We are all so different! What works for one most definitely won’t work for everyone. You’ve got to try out different things to see what works for you, not depend on some framework that doesn’t take into account your own unique physiology, then do more of that, not what works for someone else!
