6. Health + Wellness

For Michelle, wellness is more than a lifestyle—it’s a way to actively manage chronic health challenges. Her personal journey has shaped the shop’s focus on clean, gluten-free, and nutrient-rich offerings. She believes in using food not just to fuel the body, but as a powerful tool to manage disease.
