About Summer
Living a holistic lifestyle has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Taking care of fruit trees and vegetable gardens with my father and, having a mother who studied and practiced Chinese medicine with a passion, gave me insight to pursue the life I live today.
In 1993, I began working within the supplements department for a local health food store called Boney's Marketplace now called Sprout's Farmers Market. Later working with Whole Foods and Down to Earth, my desire to learn about living a holistic lifestyle led me to become a certified yoga instructor and certified nutritionist.
In 1999, I was given the opportunity to work and teach at The Chopra Center for Well Being founded by Deepak Chopra. As an employee, I immersed myself with the guests from all over the world, helping them with their health concerns and learning to serve others on a deeper level of awareness. Gradually, I began operating independently and started a small business teaching yoga at the world renowned Golden Door Spa and representing brands within the natural foods industry.
Finding freedom to do my own thing inspired me further to want to begin a natural products brokerage and so in 2012, Summer's Specialties was born.
