Mackenzie's Corner

Hello!

My name is Mackenzie, (Kenz for short) and welcome to my page :)

A bit about me… I am passionate about thrift shopping, good food, and finding as many things that bring me joy as I possibly can. I write, read (a TON), make music, paint, craft jewelry (current obsession), cook (albeit, poorly), tutor, ski coach, change the layout of my room at least once a month and have a soul-deep love for anything involving chocolate. 

Something I’ve always wanted to know more about is the many ways herbs, plants, and foods in general, can have a positive effect on our bodies and minds.

I graduated with a major in biology and through my studies, grew concerned with the medical establishment's views of healing and how singular many prescriptions seemed, especially when the drugs being prescribed could cause multiple side effects that then require even more medication. I believe that people come with different histories, views, and bodies, and therefore, require specialized medical care. 

I have a deep appreciation for the naturopathic style of healing as well as our more modern techniques with advances in surgery and vaccinations. I believe these models of medicine need to work in conjunction, not in opposition to each other. 

This will be a space for my ramblings, scientific inquiries, and general travel blog. I’m trying to do all I can to make my soul happy while being a kind, sustainable human being where I can. 

Shoot me any questions you have and thanks for joining me on this journey! :)
