Naeemah Fletcher

My name is Naeemah Fletcher, I am a mother to an amazing teenager.   I am a Philadelphia based health coach with a passion for living naturally, nourishing my body with plant based foods, traveling and all things health and wellness, including essential oils, herbs and adaptogens.   I have a degree in literature but I have always had a love of food.   Growing up I spent most summers in the South running around barefoot and eating food grown and prepared with love. This is where I learned to garden and really connect to my food. Some of my fondest memories as a child are related to food, family and spending time in the kitchen helping my mother and grandmother cook, bake and get ready for parties.   I love helping people and being of service. My business is in perfect alignment with my passions. I am able to support my clients by coaching them in areas where they feel stuck. My local clients are able to purchase homemade plant-based items that are healthy and ready to enjoy so that making healthy choices becomes much easier for them.   Taking care of my body is very important to me. My daily self care routine includes all the things that make me feel good, like moving my body, drinking herbal infusions, reading, mediating, journaling and eating seasonally from local farmer’s markets. @nourishwithnaeemah  www.nourishwithnaeemah.com

Andie Kalifer

Andie Kalifer is a Toronto-based holistic nutritionist and certified nutritional practitioner. Andie encourages a mindset that food is nourishment and that it’s so important to look at our health with a 360 degree approach, taking into account what you eat, what you expose yourself to and how you take care of your emotional wellbeing.   Andie is passionate about living her life as naturally as possible while supporting the environment around her. She loves spending time in nature and is a big advocate of getting outside, moving her body and eating whole foods. Andie’s mindset is simple: she believes in eating organic as much as possible, a plate filled with all the colors of the rainbow and superfoods, she looks at ingredients rather than labels, and no intense dieting, rather a balanced lifestyle. She loves being in the country with her shoes off, and most importantly - water. Hydration is key.   Andie works with clients on a daily basis to support and educate them on being more mindful and understanding the importance of nutrition and how we can use it as a preventive healthcare system. She specializes in digestive health, stress, adrenal fatigue and weight management. Her passion is to get others nourishing their bodies, eating healthier and living their life a little more holistically!  @andiekalifer 

Anna Patrikian

Anna is a food stylist living in Echo Park, Los Angeles. Healthy living was always a way of life for Anna as she was born in Moscow, Russia where she started her life foraging mushrooms and eating garden-grown food from her countryside home before moving to the States as a young child. Anna's cultural background played a major role in her love for thoughtful hospitality, and she naturally became a cook and dedicated host paying high attention to detail when architecting dinner party experiences.  As part of her personal healing journey, Anna developed a passion for learning about honoring the body’s healing abilities, especially relating to digestive health, and is currently enrolled in school for Nutritional Therapy. She plans to learn comprehensive functional nutrition in order to help her community by providing guidance on the most effective healing protocols using food as medicine.  When she's not cooking, Anna loves being in nature, hiking most days in the San Gabriel Mountains. In general, she loves conversation and discussion over understanding new concepts and perspectives, and considers herself to be an observer. She is most fulfilled when she is moving, eating intuitively, practicing self-care, and living mindfully.
