About
“My mission is to inspire and guide women to create
their own vibrant health and wellbeing.”
Marian Buck-Murray, MA HHC
After decades of writing, learning, teaching, cooking, and healing with natural foods, I decided to turn my heart’s passion into a career as a Nutrition Coach. I had already written two children’s cookbooks, worked in restaurants, graduated from the Natural Gourmet Culinary Institute, and taught a series of popular cooking classes. But I wanted more – I wanted to help people learn to heal themselves with food.
One day, just as I was pondering my next career move, I received an invitation to enroll at the Academy of Healing Nutrition. I immediately knew it was the place for me – with its emphasis on ancient healing foods and traditions. It was my dream come true. I was trained as a Holistic Health Counselor and Longevity Diet Coach, but I learned something far more important. I learned how to heal myself.
I have suffered from a number of serious illnesses, including two autoimmune diseases, and aortic heart valve replacement. Although I recovered from the symptoms of these illnesses, my immunity and energy were depleted. I was exhausted, emotionally drained, and I got sick all the time.
What I learned at the Academy of Healing Nutrition transformed my life. I’ve never felt better. I have more energy, strength, endurance, and clarity than I ever dreamed possible. Best of all, I now help others to transform their lives just as I did.
As a little girl, I spent my days in my backyard woods — picking berries, sipping honeysuckle, and creating magical formulas from onion grasses and woodland herbs. Little did I realize then that I was planting the seeds of my future career.
Why I want to work with you
As an entrepreneur, wife, and mother of two teenage daughters, I understand how difficult it can be to truly nurture and nourish yourself. You know the excuses. There’s not enough money, there’s not enough time, you have a deadline, you have volunteer obligations, your family comes first…
Eventually, however, your self-neglect turns into fatigue, low immunity, digestive discomfort, irritability, brain fog, weight gain, illness and more. Before you know it, you’re burned-out and it becomes harder and harder to handle the daily demands.
I know. I’ve been there and back — and, I’ve voraciously gathered a wealth of healing solutions along the way. I’m here to share these gifts with you. True, vibrant health is an invaluable gift. It’s a gift we are all meant to have. I can help you find it.
What I believe
I believe that Nature has given us the answers we need to heal ourselves. Our departure from Nature has brought us environmental devastation, and epidemic levels of disease. By honoring Nature’s gifts, we bring healing to ourselves, and to our planet.
