She received her certification as a raw vegan chef and educator and started making meals for people in the community and became known as the “Reasonably Raw Mama”. Having a nursing degree, health and fitness were also always a personal passion of Megan’s. The pair dreamed of creating a local place where the community could enjoy healthy, quick meals, juices, and treats - even in the busiest times of life.

“Our primary goal was to encourage others to be healthy, happy and heal within,” Alicia says. These Schecks and Skodols embrace good health and love spreading JOY. -Kristen Kucharski, Photos Submitted
