Inspiring you to thrive in your home
Here’s a bit about me and what I do:
I’m a Certified GAPS Coach (learn more here), a wife of almost 31 years to my hero and best friend, Brad, a Mother to my dear adult children, as well as grateful to be a Grandmother.
Ever since I was young I have been passionate about cooking, and food. I have unofficially studied holistic health for about 30 years, looking for the root cause of health issues facing myself, my family, and my friends. Combining my passion for whole foods, Holistic health, nutrition, fermentation, and healthy living, with encouraging others to take one little step in these directions in their own daily lives is what I do.
You can learn more about me here and here.

My husband, Brad, and I live with our family in Bashaw, Alberta on our family farm – we have Country Rustic Solutions farm where we raise lamb, and poultry while our son and his wife raise beef, sheep, and poultry and we all have large vegetable gardens. Feel free to take a look at our website Country Rustic Solutions where “Healthy can be Normal” is our motto there and look around here at my own personal website where I teach Loving your home…..doing little things with great love.
Holistic Health: the goal is to look for the root causes of symptoms, deep patterns of health issues, weaknesses and imbalances in our body and those of our family. By having a holistic approach to chronic illness, I’ve been able to restore health and wellness for my family

The GAPS Diet and Protocol: created by Dr Natasha Campbell McBride, The GAPS Nutritional Protocol stands for Gut and Psychology Syndrome and Gut and Physiology Syndrome. See her website for some exceptional resources about the Protocol and how it can help you or your family.
Read more here about The GAPS Diet and Protocol.
Chronic pain, foggy brain, food intolerance’s, allergies, fatigue, low energy, diabetes, heart disease, and autoimmune diseases are all signs that our immune system needs to be repaired, re-nourished with building blocks of good nutrition, and replenished with beneficial bacteria. Symptoms can diminish when the gut wall is healed, when we remove irritants, starve pathogens, repair the gut wall by healing and sealing the gut lining, and rebuild the beneficial bacteria.

How did our ancestors do it? How did they remain healthy, vibrant, productive, and happy while seemingly working harder than we do? Healthy CAN be Normal; join me to learn ways to implement simple steps in your own life for a healthier, vibrant life. Hippocrates taught that Food is medicine; to let food be your medicine and medicine be your food and that all disease begins in the gut. My goal is to equip and teach you how to cook whole foods, prepared traditional ways, listen to your symptoms and find ways to alleviate those symptoms by healing and sealing your gut wall.
