Welcome!

Welcome!

My journey to heal my son’s most distressing symptoms of autism has changed the way I live and care for my family. I am passionate about nontoxic products, natural remedies, grain-free nutrition, essential oils, and healing the symptoms known as autism. But, I wasn’t always that way. I had to learn from the beginning – with little time or money, without knowing how to cook AT ALL, juggling a family, a career, and everything that comes with caring for a child with special needs. If I can do it, so can you! Welcome to a cleaner, healthier, HAPPIER life! Read more about me.
