NIA:WEN, THANK YOU
Life Sustainers, (Tiohnhehkwen in Mohawk) that which sustains our life. We give thanks daily to the natural life forces, (be it plant or animal) that the Creator has provided to help us here on Mother Earth. We also acknowledge all the other powers that help these natural life forces to grow and prosper, the waters, the sun, the moon, the stars, the winds, etc. It is also of utmost importance, to take care of them to ensure their continued survival, it is forever a reciprocal relationship.”

About Me
My name is Kwanerahtawi (Given Leaves), aka, Karen Smith, Mohawk, turtle clan, from the Six Nations of the Grand River Territory. I am a mother, a grandmother, my most important and satisfying roles.
I spent 20+ years working in the Social Work field, having obtained my Masters of Social Work. When I started to experience unwanted health conditions, I re-evaluated my life, my relationship with food, and sought holistic wisdom when I could not find answers in the allopathic medical stream. This new path helped me so much that I decided to switch career paths to share my passion for holistic nutrition. My training and experience in Social Work has prepped me to continue to provide compassionate and thorough Consultation services as a Certified Nutritional Practitoner of 12 years. I am able to provide evidence based clinical nutrition guidance backed by my training and services linked below.
