Our mission

To support women and families in a return to real food and health by providing resources, coaching, guidance, and instruction. We encourage connections between individuals and the local farm economy, and are dedicated to supporting families in conferring health and vitality on their children and future generations.

Our work is based on the pioneering research of Dr. Weston A. Price, who discovered the key to good health and beauty by studying so-called "primitive" populations who still consumed their traditional diets.

What we do

We offer nutrition re-education and support for women, couples, and families on a range of issues affecting overall health and well-being. We empower families to ensure great health for their kids at every age through access to traditional nutrient-dense foods and a re-introduction to the lost arts of cooking and food preparation. We can give you the information you've been looking for and let you take it from there, or offer a supportive hand every step of the way.

Praise for Earth/Body Balance:

“Traditional foods are essential to optimize nutrition for women’s health and fertility, and I recommend Hannah’s cooking classes to many of my patients as part of their wellness programs.”

"As a 20+ years practitioner of Oriental Medicine I extend my highest recommendation to Hannah Springer and Earth/Body Balance. I have recommended her healing foods and educational services to many of my patients who have shown rapid and real results in their conditions, ranging from autoimmune issues to fertility, postpartum, and lactation concerns. I must also mention the miraculous results of her nutritious foods and advice with my pediatric cases, including picky eaters, asthma, frequent colds and fever, and behavior issues. She is a gift to our community!"

“Hannah’s programs transform old-time wisdom into modern day common sense. She provides the starting point for my patient’s nutritional concerns.” 
Fernando Mendez, Chiropractor

"As women and mothers of our communities, caring and nourishing our bodies is an essential element to building a sustainable cornerstone for our families to grow from. Hannah's dedication to sharing the wisdom of traditional, wholesome wellness through her understanding of food as medicine, is inspiring and unearths simple practices for raising our families with a well-balanced lifestyle."

WHAT IS EARTH/BODY BALANCE?

The concept behind Earth/Body Balance is a philosophical goal that we keep at the center of everything we do, and share with others through our services and practice. This goal is to nourish and sustain our minds and bodies, our families, our communities, and our planet through self-awareness, wise food and lifestyle choices, and thoughtful purchasing practices.

We believe that total health for people and the environment can be achieved naturally, by gradually but dramatically transforming what we eat and consume, how we think about ourselves and the world, and what we choose to buy. This is an intricate and involved process, with the power to renew our health and our communities, and to sustain the Earth.

We strive to protect & promote:

• Real food (including food integrity, traditional foodways, and access to raw dairy and other whole, unprocessed foods)

• Grass-based, biodynamic family farms

• The environment and soil health

• Thriving children and families

• Natural methods of parenting

• The domestic arts, particularly traditional methods of food preservation and preparation

• Alternatives to conventional health care and freedom of choice in all health decisions

• Access to accurate health and nutrition information unmotivated by profit or any other agenda

• The development of self-sufficiency and a sense of empowerment around food and health

OUR APPROACH: RADICAL Nourishment

Virtually all of the health issues that plague the modern human are related to our collective loss of food wisdom. Contact us, sign up for one of our classes, or visit www.WestonAPrice.org to learn more.
