ABOUT US
JOLANTA GROSSMAN
Jolanta was born in Poland. Since her early age she ventured into the woods with her family to forage for mushrooms, berries and other wild foods. She remembers collecting herbs with her grandparents and turning them into potions and medicinal remedies. Those were very special times and they instilled in her the love for everything natural, and established her deep connection with nature. Jolanta grew up in a communist regime, where cosmetics were not easily available, so she was making face masks and creams at an early age.
When she was 19, Jolanta went to live in London. She worked in Fashion and then Investment Banking. 27 years ago she began studying Yoga, Yoga Therapy, Ayurveda and Wellbeing. These soon became her biggest passions. In 2016 she moved to Nova Scotia. This big move opened
a doorway into the next stage of growth and propelled her into a deeper connection with nature. In 2018 she began studying herbalism and now she is continuing her studies with Wild Rose College in BC in order to become a clinical herbalist. She is also a passionate advocate of healthy, natural and organic living.
