NATURAL - ORGANIC - HOLISTIC HEALTH
HOMESCHOOL - ADVENTURES
Hi! My name is Josefa. I’m a California girl born and raised. I have an awesome husband named Quinn and we are raising and homeschooling our two young boys together in Hawaii. Back in 2016 we became “minimalist” and sold almost everything we owned to move into a 250sq ft Airstream travel trailer with our family. We had an amazing time and learned so much, but at the end of 2017 we felt called to go on a spiritual adventure in Hawaii.
Having children has challenged me in ways I never knew were possible. When I was pregnant with my first son I began to grow more cautious about what went on and into my body. After he was born I also had to go on an elimination diet, because he was sensitive to foods that were in my diet while nursing. This pushed me to look more deeply into our food system and lets just say I wasn’t very thrilled with what I found. I switched our family to a more natural organic lifestyle and focused on eating REAL food with minimally processed ingredients. We still enjoy treats and love living a balanced lifestyle. Through my education and experience, I have learned that it’s not only the food you eat that helps you live a healthy, happy lifestyle, but also the meaningful relationships in your life, your spirituality, your physical fitness, emotional health and even your environment plays a large roll into your health.
My children inspire me everyday to work towards being the best version of myself that I can be. I am far from perfect, but thank God for grace! They inspired me to create this website to document our families adventure as we work towards living a happier, healthier lifestyle. I love sharing about plant based recipes, holistic health, simple natural living, family adventures, and homeschooling. With a B.S. degree in Kinesiology and a Health Coach certification from IIN I have a more natural, holistic approach to life and parenting. I truly believe in the mind-body-soul connection and when all is balanced I am a more peaceful and happy person. Thanks for joining us on this ride!
Love, Josefa
