Kim’s Herbs & Detox Center

A Deep Passion For Natural Health And Healing

Kimberly “Kim” Ward - Owner

imberly (“Kim”) Ward is a holistic health coach, certified herbalist and owner of Kim’s Herbs & Detox Center in St. Louis, Missouri. Kim discovered her attraction to Holistic and Natural Healing while in college. “I was an accounting major, but deep inside I knew that Holistic and Natural Healing was my passion,” says Kim. “I bought nuts and seeds to try to eat healthy, but I didn’t have a full awareness of what I was doing or how to really nurture my desire for good health,” she says. Kim earned her degree in accounting from Spelman College, became a Certified Public Accountant and climbed the corporate ladder in the world of business. It would be many years later that her passion for health and wellness would re-emerge. She got acquainted with this field again through a friend who was selling Melaleuca products. While working as a Melaleuca distributor was rewarding, Kim knew there was more she could do to help improve the lives of others through holistic health and healing alternatives. In 2010, she decided to strike out on her own with an on-line herbal store called, Kimberly’s Herb Shop. Through operating the on-line store, Kim came to realize how much her customers valued her knowledge and expertise. The (online) business was successful; but, not as successful as it could be with oneon-one personal interaction,” says Kim. Kim opened Kim’s Herbs & Detox Center on May 6, 2016 and it has been very rewarding, for both Kim and her valued customers. 9634 Olive Blvd. Olivette, MO 63132

Feed Your Vitality Simply Delicious Meals Delivered For A Vibrant Life! Ashley E. Nanney, Owner/CEO

started this business with one goal in mind: To make it as easy as possible for people to lose weight, reduce inflammation and increase their vitality. After becoming very ill in 1998, and being told it was time for hospice, I was awakened to the idea of restoring my health through nutrition and alternative medicine. My daughter was two years old. I think hearing that I was actually going to die caused something to click. I became passionate about researching food, nutrition, and wellness. With the help of preventative medicine, I changed my diet and started to see positive results. This began my journey as a personal chef and has grown over time to what we are today. Feed Your Vitality is the expert in making healthy food taste naughty. We prepare meals made from natural, anti-inflammatory ingredients and deliver them directly to your door. As a chef, mother and business owner, if I don’t have healthy prepared options on hand, I make less healthy choices. All of our meals are free of gluten, grains, corn, dairy, refined sugars and legumes. We avoid unnatural additives, known GMO’s and soy as well. Simply delicious meals delivered for a vibrant life!

Women Making Wine & Running A Business With That Feminine Touch

Cyndy Knapp Keesee and Steffie Knapp Littlefield, Co-Owners

yndy Keesee and Steffie Littlefield are sisters and co-owners of a 3rd generation cattle ranch turned vineyard, winery, and brewery. Their dream has been to revitalize the family farm with a new business that will add value to it for the next generation of women. Not only are all four of their daughters involved in the business, but many other women in the community are helping to turn this dream into a reality. Creating a vineyard and winery is exciting as well as demanding. The daily routines can run the gamut from working in the field planting, training, pruning and harvesting to working in the winery with up to 2500 gallons of product, managing a wedding and special event venue and of course waiting on customers in the tasting room. Young women interns from both the Potosi High School and from the University of Missouri work in the vineyards to cultivate grapes that produce awardwinning wines, help in the winery during bottling and work with customers to insure the best possible retail experience. For big jobs like planting and harvesting, groups of women volunteers from garden clubs or horticulture organizations have gathered to assist.

House of Alaia

Spiritual Jewelry Helps Activate Self-Healing

A

Nea Hildebolt & Christy Feaver - owners

s a mother of two boys, I want my children to feel the love and connection in communities. Christy and I co-created House of Alaia when we were called to make jewelry in alignment with our spiritual path to help inspire people to achieve their dreams. Each piece is rich in symbolism and meaning so when you wear one of our pieces your own power of self-healing is activated. Our jewelry acts as reminders for what you need to focus on in your life for personal growth. Recently we collaborated with author Don Miguel Ruiz to create bracelets to help people deepen their practice of the wisdom of The Four Agreements. We believe peace begins within, and if we can inspire people to heal themselves and feel self-love, they can then go out into the world and share this vibration. Our mission is to uplift people who wear our jewelry to create a community of strong, compassionate way-showers to make this world a more beautiful, loving place to live. www.houseofalaia.com

Medical Thermography Of Metro St. Louis Take Charge of Your Health Linda Spradling - Owner, CCT, Level II Certified Thermographer

inda Spradling first brought Meditherm medical thermography to the St. Louis area in 2009. It was her own personal journey into the world of preventive health that prompted her desire to bring preventive health information to others. She sees thermography as a tool to add to your toolbox if you want to “stay healthy” or “get healthy”. Most doctors now agree that disease and pathology start with inflammation. Medical thermography “sees” the inflammation in our bodies. We can monitor over time to see where the areas of concern are, to see if various protocols or treatments are being effective and to know when we need to reach out for help. Maintaining good breast health is the most popular use of medical thermography. In addition it often is the first indication of concern for thyroid, carotid artery and heart disease. Each year more doctors are understanding and recommending the addition of thermography as a health screening tool. Kelly Brengle, CCT, and Linda travel in a 200 mile radious of St. Louis, partnering with health clinics and practitioners. No prescription is necessary. Insurance is not accepted. The Meditherm team, who interprets their scans, supports them through continued education and are available to answer questions at all times. Empowering others to take charge of their health and to improve their quality of life is the greatest reward.

Creating A Movement For Safer Beauty

Michele Heizer - Director

ike many of you, I have been touched by the effects of harmful chemicals. My grandfather, my grandmother and mother-in-law both died of cancer. My mother is a cancer survivor, one of my longest childhood friends is a lung cancer survivor…she was never a smoker. My oldest son has Autism and my youngest has attention issues. I don’t stand alone. We all have been touched in some way by chemicals that have been linked to many of our health issues today, such as cancer, hormone disruption, fertility issues, Autism, Asthma, ADD and many others. What is sad, is many people simply don’t know what they don’t know. They believe most products are safe. I am here to tell you they are not. I joined Beautycounter because we are dedicated to radical transparency in the beauty industry. You will never find any ingredient in our products that are known to be harmful to human health. We should never have to compromise our health in the name of beauty, and the products we use on our children should be safe. We are creating a movement to safer beauty because we feel it’s time for a change. We are creating a business to change the system because we deserve better. 314.406.2210

Tranquil Companion

Healing Touch Therapy For Animals Maureen Keller - HTA Practitioner

am Maureen Keller, a Healing Touch for Animals Practitioner and Equine Iridologist, also owner of Tranquil Companion. I use Energy Medicine Therapies along with the use of non -invasive tools such as magnetic, tuning fork, far infrared acupressure, Crystal and essential oils to integrate balance and clear the energy body. This helps the animal recover from injury and illness, ease emotional trauma and abuse issues, reduce stress and anxiety, clarify appropriate behavior, relieve pain, and achieve quality of life with chronic illness or disease. As an iridologist, I use the equine eye as a window to see issues within the horse's body. I can locate issues manifesting within the horse's body well before they become debilitating and before they show up in blood tests. I can also determine inherited issues, such as kidney weakness, digestive issues, and temperament. A typical session includes equine iridology, if applicable, acupressure, and energy balance assessments. Treatment includes but is not limited to raindrop, detox, and emotional release with essential oils, as well as use of other therapies. An outline and action plan as well as energetic tools are also provided to the client to maintain the wellness and balance for the animal that was provided by the session. www.tranquilcompanion.com 618-972-8267

The Beautiful Journey Of Gardening and Growing

Crystal Stevens - Farmer, Author, Teacher

or the last decade, I have been educating and empowering others how to grow their own food and medicine. It gives me great joy to witness the transformation of a person once they have began the beautiful journey of gardening and providing nourishment for their families by growing fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs.Throughout each season, I host several workshops on Ethical Foraging, Food as Medicine, Gardening, Composting, Vermiculture, Medicinal Herbs and Healthy Cooking in the community, through Dabble and at Mother Earth News Fairs and conferences around the country. My husband Eric and I co-managed La Vista CSA Farm from 2010-2016. We now are honored to be working at EarthDance Organic Farm School, whose mission is to "sustainably grow food, farmers, and community, one small farm at a time, through hands-on education and delicious experiences. EarthDance has now transitioned to Permaculture in their growing practices. When I am not gardening, I stay busy writing about it. My books, Grow Create Inspire and Worms at Work, released through New Society Publishers, distill my experiences in farming and gardening into user friendly how-to guides for beginners. I am currently working on a Seasonal Eating Cookbook which covers homegrown produce and ethically foraged ingredients. Look for tons of gardening tips in my column with The Healthy Planet Magazine, my blog with Mother Earth News and past articles in Permaculture Magazine, Grit magazine, FEAST magazine and Overgrow the System. Check out our art in Semore the Bird Tells All that He Heard by Kelley Johnson Powers. Documenting life on the farm through photojournalism and art has become second nature to me and I am grateful for this enchanted life I get to enjoy with my husband and children.

The Elements Of Nature Help Nourish & Heal

have always been intrigued by the mystical aspects of nature – the elements, indigenous plants, animal encounters and wild weather. My life purpose is to help people reconnect with Nature, reclaim their sense of wholeness and home. Awareness of native philosophy and folk traditions has taught me the power of natural healing, deep observation of nature, and the ancient way of the scout. As the crafter of Willow Rain Herbal Goods, I provide remedies and wreaths made from the wild plants of our Ozark mountain sanctuary. As a nature guide, I host campers at our farm sharing my knowledge of the native plant and forest shamanism. My wild wreaths and prayer wheels are visionary works of art woven of native grasses, wayside weeds, everlasting flowers, tree bark, lichens, seeds, cones and feathers. Weaving these gifts of the wild, I envision each as a healing portal into nature.... a pathway lit by the eternal flame of spirit. I have walked the Ozark woodlands and meadows for many seasons hunting the wisdom of the wild. As I continue to learn about life, Nature’s ways seem more and more wise. Go to the trees, hollows and rivers as often as you can. The elements of Nature help nourish and heal. Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.

The Silver Lady

Over 30 Years Of Providing Unique Jewlery In St. Louis Lori - The Silver Lady, Owner

ori began selling jewelry out of a friend's spare bedroom 31 years ago, after someone liked a piece of jewelry she had on and talked Lori into selling it to her. Lori sold it to her and she soon realized her talent for finding unique jewelry and decided to make it her profession. From her humble beginnings out of a friend’s house, an outdoor stall in the Loop market area, finally moving to a table inside the Loop market, and then having a small storefront, she can now usually be found in her 2nd store in the Central West End. And she most recently added a third location in Maplewood. Lori married her husband Jeff 15 years ago. They now share the responsibility of running the business and hand picking jewelry from artists all over the world to bring their customers distinctive jewelry. In addition to selling jewelry, all three stores repair jewelry, change watch batteries, and offer a selection of rocks, minerals and fossils. Each location features a different selection of unique jewelry, making it a must to visit all 3 stores. www.shopthesilverlady.com 4736 McPherson Ave. • St. Louis, MO 63108 • 314-367-7587 6364 Delmar Blvd. • St. Louis, MO 63130 • 314-727-0704 7318 Manchester Road • Maplewood, MO 63143 • 314-720-9315

Primordial Sound Meditation

Discover the Silence Which Creates Inner Peace and Renews Energy

Shirley Stoll - BS, MA, Certified Meditation Instructor

hirley Stoll was the first person to teach Dr. Deepak Chopra’s Primordial Meditation Program in the St. Louis metropolitan area. She has completed numerous seminars and educational programs conducted by Dr. Chopra since receiving her meditation certification. As a former classroom teacher, Shirley combines her love for teaching with her commitment to meditation. Some people living in an ever changing and fast paced world today are seeking peace and harmony in their lives. Meditation is an effective way to find inner peace. Practicing meditation allows you to weave silence and stillness into your mind and body. One of the most widespread myths about meditation is a belief that you must force your mind to be quiet when you meditate. Meditation is not about forcing your mind to be quiet. Meditation is finding the quiet that is within you. Research has shown that meditation has a wide range of health benefits. People who meditate on a regular basis are usually healthier. As stress is greatly reduced through meditation, our mind and body experience better health and vitality. Inner peace and reducing stress are important benefits of meditation. Other possible benefits include better sleep, reduced blood pressure, less anxiety, and improved relationships. Primordial Sound Meditation is easy to learn and easy to practice. Make meditation part of your life and enjoy its benefits! For more information on meditation classes, contact Shirley Stoll. 800-796-1144 • shirlstoll@gmail.com • www.MeditationConnect.com

Elements Herbology

Your Personal Journey With Natural Healing

Amanda Canete - Owner

s a granddaughter of Appalachia, Amanda’s education and love of nature started when she was young with her great grandmother’s guidance and encouragement. She learned nature’s magic from the plants themselves and the wise southern lands; remedies from the mountain people passed down in stories and folklore. While holding several positions in the medical field as an adult, she continued with her herbal education under several herbalists across the country.

Now the owner of Elements Herbology on historic Main Street in St Charles, MO., Elements is where Amanda promotes herbal education and community through her herb classes, clubs and outreach talks. The shop is unique to the area and has become the place in St. Charles where people go to learn and start their own personal journey with natural healing. If you hear about an herbalist or herb shop in St Charles, it’s probably Amanda and it’s probably Elements. Her shop also is host to a small tea room where people can make themselves a cup of tea, spend some time with one of the many herb books while the mighty Missouri River flows on by.

Specializing In American Folk Art Called “Scrimshaw”

Michelle “Mike” Ochonicky - Owner/Artist

ven as a child, Michelle “Mike” Ochonicky wanted to be an artist. Stone Hollow Studio began in 1979 when Ochonicky decided to pursue her love of art in a serious way.

Her scrimshaw has been chosen by museum curators from around the U.S. for Early American Life magazine’s prestigious Directory of Traditional Crafts for the 21th time this year. For six years, Ochonicky was selected to design Missouri’s ornaments for the National Christmas Tree ceremony in Washington, D.C. Her work has been exhibited in the White House Visitor Center, Missouri’s Capitol Rotunda, Missouri Governor’s Mansion, St. Louis Cathedral Basilica and as far away as the Dedalo Museum of Contemporary Art in Italy. As arts editor of The Healthy Planet magazine, Ochonicky writes her ARTful Living column each month to keep readers informed of the St. Louis art scene. Stone Hollow Studio is eco-friendly, using sustainable materials to reduce our environmental footprint. Materials used for scrimshaw and all packaging are 100% recycled materials.
