I’ll admit the idea of Spring Cleaning gets me all giddy. I enjoy taking stock of my space and giving attention to areas that really need sprucing up. Everyone loves a clean home you can relax and settle into.

What if we apply that same concept of spring cleaning to our health and nutrition? What if we gave our food choices the same clean up we do with our homes?

To launch this plan into action, our next RESTART group begins May 17th. This 5 week group program is a deep dive into cleaning up our nutrition, how to support our digestion and detoxing the sugar cravings. Space is limited and on a first come first serve basis.

I haven’t taken a moment to welcome you, or introduce myself. I’m Leah and I’m the owner of Heliotrope Health. I’m a mom, a fur mom, a PNW girl and a food fanatic. I adore being outside in nature and hiking with my sweet BF. I also love being snuggled up under a blanket with a true crime doc on Netflix (fun fact, I was a criminal justice major 😆). I’m also a certified barre3 instructor and believe movement heals.

I earned my certification as a NTP with the goal of helping others find their healthiest selves through their relationships with the food they eat, all with the highest level of compassion. We are all learning, often slightly lost and many times feel defeated. And food can be our biggest tool to heal, restore and strengthen.

I hope to meet many through their own journeys and look forward to connecting with you all further. 🌲

It’s the freakin weekend friends!

Here in the PNW the temps are frigid and snow is forecasted. This cozy season leaves me wanting to stay home and hunker down. Here’s my favorite warm golden milk tea recipe to keep you toasty, with the added bonus of anti-inflammatory and digestive-happy ingredients.

Golden milk tea:
2 cups coconut milk
1 Tsp fresh grated turmeric (if you cannot find fresh, powder is a great substitute)
1 Tsp fresh grated ginger
1 TB honey
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Pinch sea salt
- Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan and heat over medium low. Stir to combine, allowing honey to melt.
- Pour into your favorite mug and enjoy!
