About Our Mushrooms – The Story
I discovered medicinal mushrooms in 2009 at David Wolfe’s Longevity NOW conference in California and was immediately drawn to them. It was there that we were encouraged to experiment with elixirs made with Reishi medicinal mushrooms.
I made it my mission to find mushrooms and started out with Medi Mushrooms in 2010. I rebranded in 2013 and 5 years later switched to amber bottles and organic mushroom 10:1 extracts.
Turkeytail also known as Trametes, Coriolus and Cloud mushroom was introduced in 2018 and has become a firm favourite..
As someone who tends to have an innate desire to assist others to transform and elevate their health and well-being, the mushrooms were a perfect fit. Medi Mushrooms SA has expanded to become a national brand.
Over the past few years I have enjoyed taking mushrooms to improve my own health, Maitake and Reishi were best for me for a couple of years. I change and expirement on a daily basis depending on what my body requires.
My family love taking them and use them for focus, concentration and boosting their immunity.
I love working with my clients directly. My skills as Health Coach come in handy where necessary, focusing on nutrition and lifestyle which is key to regaining and claiming our health. I also draw on many skills that I have been fortunate to acquire over the years, from growing our own food and using herbs for health.
Cordyceps complex is about to be launched, watch out for that in the coming months.
Our clean and high vibing mushroom extracts are available on-line and from selected Health Shops, certain Pharmacies and Health Practitioners in South Africa.
