Hi there! I'm Janine, the Founder and Lead Health Educator at Lilac & Leaf. We are based in the Fraser Valley of BC but my story started in Toronto with a passion for health education and promotion. I worked in health care for many years and at the same time was always curious about the natural world and our connection to nature. My goal is to inspire people the way that nature inspired me. Through both our products and workshops, I stay grounded in current research and a modern understanding of health. I combine my public health background with training in botany, herbs and nutrition to bridge the gap between natural health approaches and current evidence based care.
