About

Engage. Restore. Thrive. Heal.

Those words encompass the very essence of what I have set out to achieve with this site. This is a place where like-minded individuals can learn and share information and knowledge on all topics relating to health and wellness of the body, mind, spirit, our planet and virtually every aspect of one’s life. It is a space where the creation of healing is the ultimate goal.

My name is Laura Mark, a proud Canadian who embraces a healthy lifestyle and truly thrives on helping others achieve the same. This subject has been a deep passion of mine for nearly my entire life. From my childhood upbringing in rural Ontario with rather holistic, hippie parents, to the day that I decided to stop eating red meat – 19 years ago, to the seven years spent with a husband suffering from brain cancer. The latter was really the catalyst that lead me down a path of discovery in search of the most healthful ways of living in order to help give my husband the best possible chance at survival.

In those last seven years, I extensively researched a myriad of topics to exhaustion. I experienced such eye-opening revelations about the world we live in and the onslaught of abuse our bodies face on a daily basis, that most people are not even aware of. It is here that I wish to share that knowledge and hope to engage and inspire others in their own quest for overall wellness. My passion and hunger for learning is an ongoing journey that will last a lifetime and I hope to continually share that learning with those who seek to restore their wellness to an optimum level.

It has given me such great pleasure to help, with the best of my knowledge, those who have requested it of me. It is their sincere gratitude that continually inspires and drives me to help anyone in search of direction or an alternative to the lifestyle they currently lead. I loaned a book about alternative cancer therapies to a friend while her mother was suffering from pancreatic cancer.  Here is a quote from a letter she sent me:

“Laura, I am finally returning the book that you so generously lent me more than 6 months ago. Thank you for being such a great source of information and inspiration, by living the principles of healthy body = healthy life yourself. I want you to know you are a great role model for me.
With love and light, Junia.”

I am deeply touched by her words and only hope to have such an effect on any other lives I may influence by the work I present within these pages. It is my greatest hope that others are inspired by what they read on this site and involve themselves in the conversations going on among the members.

Join us today and live your life with abundant energy, passion and a wealth of love for your fellow human beings and our beloved Mother Earth.

Yours in health and happiness,
