Wendee Daniels, MTCM, CNIEP
An adventurer & seeker by nature, Wendee Daniels’ path of healing and medicine as a spiritual journey started at a young age. The influence of Wendee’s mother and grandmothers who were gardeners and healers shaped her childhood upbringing. Home remedies and harvesting directly from the earth shaped her formative years and her deep connection to mother earth’s many gifts. In 1988 at the age of 18, Wendee read the well known book by DR. Henry G. Bieler, “Food Is Your Best Medicine” and thus began her exploration into the world of food as medicine. Farmer’s markets, health food stores, gardening, cooking and studying nutrition became her way of life and an unknown self initiation to get to where she is today. After graduating from Five Branches, School of Traditional Chinese Medicine she moved to Bend,Or in 1999. This is where where practiced as an Acupuncturist and Herbalist for over 15 years. Over the past 25 years, she trained with a range of experts in the fields of Chinese Medicine, herbalism, quantum healing, kinesiology, essential oils, flower essences, and traditional Indigenous teachings.
Today, you will find Wendee cheffing her way through retreats, clients kitchens, and creating curriculum that will change the world. Her passion for all things delicious and beautiful shines through her creative nature and understanding that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. She is an innovator in her field with a beginners mind of the forever student. Following the calling of healer heal thyself she teaches what she herself endeavors to live and her highest calling is to share these gifts with the world. When she doesn’t have a knife her hand or a basket of fresh harvested anything, you will find Wendee frolicking, laughing wildly, exploring, and experiencing the world through the eyes of a child whenever she can.
