Becoming a mom can change everything- from how we eat to how we live, to how we see the world. As a first-time mom, I found myself longing to slow down, be more intentional, be rooted in faith, focused on our health, and creating a peaceful place for my children to live. Let’s jump into a holistic motherhood journey.
As a mom I quickly realized that motherhood is more than just diapers and milestones- it’s the foundation of the entire home. How intentional we are with our life, how rooted we are in faith, what we cook, what we use it sets the foundation of future generations to come.
That is why I created Wholesome Family Roots: To help moms like you to find simple, soul filling ways to raise a healthy, holistic family without feeling so overwhelmed. This is a way to share my journey with you, so you don’t have to walk it alone. So, you have a place to turn to when you need guidance on what to do next. I want to be your new holistic mom bestie. So grab your coffee and let’s chat!
The Heart Behind “Wholesome Family Roots”
How did Wholesome Family Roots begin?
It all started in 2020, when I became a first-time mom. I began noticing the hidden harm in so many everyday products—laundry detergent, household cleaners, skincare, hair products, and everything in between. I wanted my home to be a safe place, especially for my little ones.
I learned that many of these products are filled with harmful chemicals that can disrupt hormones, irritate the skin, impact respiratory health, affect mood and behavior, and even influence long-term development. After doing the research, I discovered just how vulnerable babies and children are—because their bodies are still developing and more sensitive to environmental exposure. Switching to toxin-free products became a way to reduce that exposure and give my family a better chance to heal and thrive, naturally.
This journey was never about perfection. It was about small, intentional swaps—choosing products and routines that support our family’s health and align with a more holistic, mindful lifestyle.
When my first son was born, I focused fully on removing toxins from our home. I swapped out diapers, wipes, and creams for clean alternatives. I changed our laundry detergent, our cleaners, and our personal care products. At the time, I thought we were already eating “healthy”—but that perspective changed when our second son was born.
In 2021, we welcomed our second baby, Asher. He was born with health issues, and we spent the first two years of his life in and out of hospitals, visiting countless doctors, dietitians, and nutritionists. Through that experience, we realized that our version of a “healthy lifestyle” wasn’t actually all that healthy.
We learned that Asher struggled to digest processed foods. The cleaner we cooked, the better he digested, the clearer his breathing became, and the more his overall health improved. That’s when my husband and I knew:
We had to return to the way God intended us to live.
✔️ Natural
✔️ Wholesome
✔️ Toxin-Free
I dove deep into research—reading about foods that boost immunity, support digestion, and strengthen respiratory health. After countless books, endless podcasts, and working with holistic dietitians and nutritionists, I realized something big:
So many people are trying to “eat healthy,” but they don’t know where to begin.
So in 2022, I started sharing our journey on Instagram (you can follow me here!).
Through this process, I also realized something else—maybe the most important truth of all:
Mothers are the roots of the home.
We are the legacy.
We are the faith.
We are the grounding force.
We’re the ones who set the tone, cook the food, speak the prayers, and nurture every corner of our families’ lives.
And that’s why Wholesome Family Roots came to life. To make your holistic motherhood journey simple!
