Christy Critter
Herbalist, Fermentress & Kitchen Witch
Owner & Founder Blessed Being
Christy began her exploration of ingredients and cooking at the farmers market. Connecting with farmers and small food makers while experiencing the abundance of the seasons has been the core of her inspiration to create. The farmers market is also where she discovered kombucha, which was the catalyst that encouraged her to dive into the world of fermentation, nutrition, and herbalism.
Her creation of Blessed Booch in 2015 quickly evolved beyond kombucha into Blessed Being, a culmination of her life’s journey, focused on nourishing the WHOLE being while connecting and harmonizing with nature. Blessed Being is an apothecary of elixirs, medicinal foods, and botanical skin care.
Christy has apprenticed at The Gaia School of Healing with both Sage Mauer & Marysia Miernowska, as well as Sage Country Herbs with Shana Lipner.
