Protagonista's mission is to empower humanity with the knowledge that our innate wisdom exists and is still intact, and to illuminate our personal ability to heal both ourselves and the communities around us, a capability which is coded within our genetics - and is wonderfully ancient. Our mission centers around educating, empowering, and healing women with traditional herbal medicine, nutrition, meditative practice, physical activity, and traditional bodywork. We also dedicate ourselves to doing the same for feminist men who seek to empower their inner Divine Feminine as well as their companion terrestrial women. We offer private consultations in herbal medicine and integrative nutrition, group workshops and Wildflower walks, and Cherokee bodywork.
Philosophically, Protagonista is based on trusting your Self from the inside-out, on listening to your intuition, and discovering that you will be guided to where you need to be and who you need to be with. Yet many of us wonder, “Aren’t doctors the experts? The ones with all the answers?” and believe the answer is, “Yes.” But we ask, “Aren’t you the expert on yourself?” You have been living in your body your whole life! You carry all the answers that you need. The next step is allowing yourself the freedom to translate your body’s ancient messages into a language your modern brain understands.
A true holistic approach to life incorporates things that nourish you other than food, including honest and open relationships, a meaningful spiritual practice, a career that inspires you, and physical activity that you enjoy. These elements are called Primary Food. To powerfully explore the world inside your Self, we must actively engage in balancing these Primary Foods with the Foods We Eat on a daily basis. We must practice conscious eating with conscious living.
