Holistic Wellness with Mena

Welcome! My name is pronounced: MEN-uh. My approach to life is influenced by my mother's maxim : "With one’s health, one has everything." I have come to believe that with Saúde (health) one can cultivate Paz (peace) & Amor (love) & live "The S.P.A. Life." While my wellness journey is long & parallels my daughter's, who was prescribed the SCD diet for IBD. Knowing that SDC is a tough diet even for someone who previously ate a Paleo diet, I chose to go SCD with my daughter - a choice based on research relating to my own autoimmune disease as well as a sign of solidarity so that I could be her cheerleader. Thank you for stopping by, I look forward to working with you. I hold a Ph.D. & have a special interest in cultural production & the history of chocolate. I teach collegiate classes on health & wellness. I mother four amazing girls with my husband. Together our family enjoys the company of our cats & share a passion for nature-based & toxin free living. Saúde, Paz, Amor!
