Transcend fear, release, & learn how to become a catalyst of change for yourself, family, & friends.
When we provide the kidneys and liver with the nutrients they need for optimal function, we have a healthy hormone system. Learn the connections between the liver and gallbladder, and the kidney and bladder. In Chinese medicine, these are the wood and water elements. They work together as yin and yang. Learn how Chinese medicine can help us understand our individual constitutions, and what we need to thrive. You’ll enjoy a green juice that will give you a boost of nutrients and energy and you’ll learn how to make this at home. You will also walk away with personalized nutrition inspiration regarding what to eat and drink for healthy menstrual cycles, fertility, how to NOT get pregnant or TO get pregnant, breastfeeding, perimenopause, and menopause. As women, we can go through our natural cycles as we are inherently designed, with ease and grace. Suffering in this case IS optional.
You will have plenty of opportunities to ask questions and learn what nutritional next steps are best for you. This will be a mixture of interactive small group discussions and learning about the nutritional science behind juicing.

AS YOU CAN SEE TAVI LOVES HER FERMENTED PICKLE! KAILA, HER MOTHER, ALSO ENJOYED THE FERMENTED FOODS WORKSHOP:
"Amelia is an incredibly dynamic teacher, full of light and life. She empowers her students by guiding them gently through the science our our bodies, and inspires us to make change through her positive energy and enthusiasm. In one workshop I learned what I feel every human should learn in 1st grade: it's not only what we eat, but how we feel about what we eat. How incredible to know that force feeding spinach will not do any good! The nutrients are just waiting for our minds, our hearts and our stomachs to align. I have an entirely new approach to eating - seeking enjoyment, embracing health, finding balance. Thank you Amelia!"
~ Kaila Binney, M.Ed. with a concentration in Educating for Sustainability. Kaila works with the Island Grown Schools on Martha's Vineyard and is currently the IGS coordinator for the MV Regional High School and the Oak Bluffs Elementary School. She has also led adult education programs at the FARM Institute on Martha's Vineyard.
Health benefits
Sprouted
Sprouting grains, legumes, and nuts makes the nutrients more bio-available
Easy to digest
Folate and vitamins C, A, & B
Protein content, cancer protection (especially from broccoli sprouts)
Amino acid content
Aids minerals absorption: iron, calcium, and zinc
Starches easily converted into simple carbohydrates - “easier to digest”
Reduces some allergens (wheat/grains)
Germination of a seed into a plant
Can be eaten raw, steamed, or cooked
Can be dehydrated to make flours, nut snacks, and alternative meals
Fermented
“It may seem strange to us that, in earlier times, people knew how to preserve vegetables for long periods without the use of freezers or canning machines. This was done through the process of lacto-fermentation. Lactic acid is a natural preservative that inhibits putrefying bacteria. Starches and sugars in vegetables and fruits are converted into lactic acid by the many species of lactic-acid-producing bacteria.” ~ Sally Fallon
Makes vitamins and minerals bio-available because it is predigested
Produces vitamins K, B6, B12
Lactobacilli from lactic-acid - produce enzymes, antibiotic, and anti-carcinogenic substances
The ancient Greeks, Asian cuisines, and people who ate the traditional diets of their ancestors preserved veggies
The benefits of the veggies increases with this method
More on herbalism, fermenting foods, and sprouting grains, legumes, and nuts/seeds COMING SOON - virtually!
