About Me

Julia Erickson
I am in love with life. I love to garden--bringing beauty to my world, providing organic vegetables for my family of nine, and growing ancient herbs for healing. I also work for women to know and embrace themselves: bodies, health, relationships, family, spirit, living--creating a life of beauty and growth.
