Looking back, I can attribute my passion of healthy living to the way my mother and father raised us. With Mediterranean roots, my mother naturally prepared  fresh vegetable based meals from my father’s garden, power snacks, and fruit drinks daily.  Besides the vitamins she forced us to take, she gave us herbal remedies to ward off diseases and to heal illness’. And for herself, those herbal remedies became  face and hair masks.

Now as an adult, I realize something my parents may not: they were raising roots. They provided a healthy, nutritious foundation for us to grow and equipped us to make healthy living choices as adults.

After I earned a B.S. in Information Technology and Computer Graphics, and a 10 year career in the Internet Industry specializing on health products, I discovered I had a real passion for nutrition and strong desire to show others how to live healthy. So I enrolled at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition(IIN) in NY.

Today I am a  Holistic Health Counselor and I a mother of a precious one year old boy.

Today I am Raising Roots. I am combining my Mediterranean background with today’s integrative nutrition to provide a healthy, happy, and stimulating environment for my family and for yours.

This blog will document my journey with product reviews, recipes, tips, research, and more.
