Oksana McGettigan, M.S., has studied on three continents; her graduate education concerns the health of the Earth and its people. She has also pursued formal naturopathic studies and various bodywork modalities. She was fortunate to become a mom of three children gently born at home, and is experiencing the Steiner philosophy through their education. They live on a little semi-urban homestead in a small university town in Michigan. They raise bees, a large garden, and a small flock of happy chickens. Writing about healthy lifestyles is a passion that Oksana discovered when she first became a parent.
