Mama Marissa Wellness

Small town girl turned even smaller town wife and mom. Living in the rural Cariboo of British Columbia with my hard working cowboy/carpenter husband. Attempting to live a homesteader life and raise our own animals on our 20 acre piece of paradise.

I always wanted to have children, even as a young teen I knew I wanted to be a mom. I dreamt of being a labor and delivery nurse and having a large family myself. I am now a Registered Nurse with a Bachelors of Science in Nursing and I have 3 young boys. Since becoming a mom in 2018 I started looking for more natural ways to support myself physically and mentally to be the best mom I can be for my children. I have a passion for maternal and newborn care but have taken a step back from the medical world of nursing to see things from a more holistic and natural approach. With my nursing background and my natural desire to want to know everything about everything, I spend a lot of time researching and learning about the products and foods I allow into my home. As a ‘crunchy’ mom, I am the gatekeeper to my home and do my best to avoid the toxic junk sold in stores today. My wish is that my kids will grow up to live healthy lives, and not have to struggle with physical ailments or mental health issues that could be prevented by healthier diet and lifestyle choices.
