Hi, I’m Christelle!

I thought you might want to know who the Healthy Homemaker is, so here is a little bit about me…

This is my family: my hubby Shawn (the adventure seeker and the fun one), me (creative and slightly opinionated), our eldest, M, is 6 (loving, feisty and LOOOOVES to read) , and our youngest, E, is 3 (she’s a good mix of introversion and determination). We live in sunny South Africa, in the heart of the Winelands district, so we are surrounded by the mountains and wine farms, but we also live close enough to the beach that I get to walk there a few days a week.

I work as a Health Coach, so while I have a business-orientated website for those services, but I have dreamed for more than a decade about having a blog to share some thoughts and recipes with you, that are perhaps a little more personal, like the discussions around my kitchen table.

I chose the name Healthy Homemaker because it is what I want to grow into and what I am passionate about: healthy homes and healthy families make up the fibre of a healthy society. I want to help people grow in those areas, as I am growing into it myself.

I don’t have it all together, but I believe that being imperfect is not something that disqualifies us. We can all give, no matter where we are in our journey. So, you won’t find a lot of “perfect” here, but you will find a whole lot of “real” – if you don’t mind the messiness, then welcome home, kick off your shoes and join the conversation…
