Josiane Roy-Hétu - Local Daughter of the Lands in Sutton & Food Creatrix
Passionate, epicurean, and self-taught, Josiane's love language is cooking for the people around her. Her taste buds are always on the lookout to discover new flavours. Recipe books are her bedside reading. With an aesthetic eye for detail and beauty, she prefers simple recipes that are nutritious, tasty and colourful so that they can be devoured by the eyes as well. Wherever possible, she seeks locally sourced ingredients for her cooking right down to the edible flowers with which she loves to decorate her dishes. Josiane’s happy place in life is her home kitchen, where she can explore her culinary creativity, surrounded by the forest and fields.That joy is always present in the food she prepares for others.
Kimiko Tao Fujimoto - nature ceremonialist + mystic + yoga educator.
the inspiration for EMERALD came to me as I traversed the forests near my home in Point Reyes California while crafting flower essences. I called upon the artistry of my dearests friends and cherished Quebec landscapes to create a retreat for the soul to play. this retreat is sourced from 20 years of study in the fields of spiritual and physical transformation.
if you have questions or concerns please email Kimiko for direct support.
