The Founder, Rae’s, personal journey - “Growing up, I experienced abusive, antagonistic family members, drinking and drugs, food and housing insecurity and all the chronic stress that goes with it into adulthood. I understand how devastating narcissistic relationships can be for children and adults.
Over time, I got through it to cultivate peace and my process for living healthy, which includes presence practices, cooking, connecting, trail running and backpacking.
I love learning about body-mind health and sharing what I learn with others. I love helping others discover the joy of eating healthy and how it can transform your life. Good food, good fun, and awareness can be powerful healing tools. It is possible to experience low stress, no matter what the circumstances. ”
Rae is a former ultrarunner who loves reading Eckhart Tolle and Clarissa Pinkola Estes. She has a BS degree in Botany, a certification in Nutrition Science through Stanford, a certificate in Gut Health through Stanford, and a certification in Behavior Change through the National Academy of Sports Medicine.
We’re passionate about good food, nature, and seizing the day. Redefine what comfort food means.
Bacopa Moon is a trauma-informed company.
