"I am 43 years old and have recently transitioned into a brand new career.  One which makes me feel good.  I spent the last 15 years in the sporting goods industry selling to mass merchants, wholesale clubs and sporting goods chains across the country.

    In the last six months I have become a certified herbalist and a partner in a health food store in Marblehead, MA, namely Body & Soul.  I am now nurturing my soul.  Somewhere along my fast paced world, I forgot about my body. 

  My health has suffered in the last fifteen years with acute cases of ulcerative colitis.  Many hospital stays, many a colonoscopy and sigmoidiscopes.

I have tried so many ways of eating, diets, etc. without any real healing of my colon.  I have always been told Do not eat any raw fruits or vegetables!

Thus, my curiosity with eating uncooked and in the raw foods!  

       We have expanded and renovated our store to now include an organic juice bar and organic produce section.  In addition, a dear friend is going to open a living foods kitchen in the back of our store.  Then something even more miraculous happened.  Alissa Cohen, living foods chef extraordinaire, was producing a DVD to promote her new book and called me to be a part of the process.  (The universe is definitely at work here!)  The abundance of beautiful, fresh, sweet smelling foods were literally at my fingertips. 

       OK.  The hell with, do not eat raw !  I am going for it.  I need to be true to myself, my store, my customers and practice what I preach. 

        My goal is to cure myself of this colitis thing by eating only living foods and to lose the 20 pounds I have put on in the last 10 years.  I am sharing my story with you because I do believe we can heal ourselves with living foods.  Most important, if I can heal myself, I want to help to support you in your process!!

        Please feel free to email me with your stories and we can support each other with our journey towards a higher more empowered place."

With love and encouragement,
Sharon Wohl
