WELCOME to my "NOURISH YOUR ROOTS" website! I am so happy you found me! My name is Meike and I grew up in the suburbs outside of Munich in Germany enjoying the free life of a kid in the 80s. I always found peace and relaxation outside in nature and especially in the forest among trees. As a young student I had the opportunity to work and live for a couple of months on a mountain farm in Switzerland. The memories of eating organic, whole foods, caring for farm animals and the concept of living in harmony with nature left a deep impression in my heart.
After I got married, I moved to Boston and experienced a completely different lifestyle. Very soon I was diagnosed with breast cancer and got introduced to the American medical system. After my recovery I started wondering what might have caused this “dis- ease” of my body. I realized it was not just genetic, or just bad luck - but a combination of my direct environment and mindset.
My body basically expressed what I felt in my heart. I started to understand that I needed to heal my body in a holistic way. Trying to find balance on a physical, mental, spiritual as well as emotional level was key.
I deeply believe that we are one with nature and the health of our body is connected to the health of the soil we get our food from. The food we eat shapes the mind we have.
True health is not only found through a clean diet and exercise - but also comes from a healthy lifestyle and mindset.
I realized I had to switch from pure “existing” to “living”. I also knew deep in my heart it was crucial to find a fulfilling purpose in life. I did dig deeper and realized that my passion was to study nature, art and history; and that my mission in life was to pass this knowledge and joy on to other people.
I love to meet people, listen to their individual stories, learn from them, and exchange knowledge, compassion and energy.
When I started my journey to become an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach I found my purpose in life, and I am now ready to support others to heal themselves deeply from their roots.
