About Us

Tanya Carwyn  grew up by the ocean in The Netherlands where she thrived on a traditional foods diet (thanks Mama!) including plenty of grass-fed meat and raw milk. She has a BA in Education and worked for two years on her Masters in Cultural Anthropology (all the while studying about herbs, native diets and traditional nutrition on the side). 

In 1994 she moved to New York City where she met her husband Giles.  After their wedding they settled in Colorado, where Tanya became serious about pursuing a career in the natural health field.  A few years (and the birth of one daughter) later she received her Master Herbalist Diploma from The Australasian College of Health Sciences.   After that she was lucky enough to study with well-know Herbalist and Nutritionist Paul Bergner at the North American Institute Of Medical Herbalism in Boulder, CO.  She gave birth to her second daughter just before graduating as an Certified Clinical Herbalist.

Tanya continues to study nutrition and alternative health and writes articles on nutrition for newspapers, magazines and the internet.

Tanya and her husband Giles live with their wonderful daughters Liefke and Luna in Colorado where Tanya spends most of her time either in the kitchen with the girls or behind the computer researching and writing about food.
