Hi, I’m Marisa


Hi! I’m Marisa. I’m a certified GAPS gut wellness coach, as well as a wife and mom of 5. Overcoming chronic health issues with diet changed my life. Welcome to Bumblebee Apothecary — a cozy corner of the internet where nutrient dense meals and wellness come together in the heart of the home: the kitchen.

I'm here to help you find peace in the kitchen, cook from scratch, and reconnect with traditional skills that nourish the body and bring wellness. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed or confused about where to start with real food for wellness, you’re not alone. I'm here to guide you with simple, doable steps that make gut wellness through ancestral food practical for everyday family life.

Together, we’ll explore:

🌿 Gut-friendly foods like ferments, broths/stock, and sourdough

🍲 Quick & easy nutrient-dense meals for busy families

🫙 Traditional remedies and natural kitchen apothecary recipes

🕯️ Seasonal rhythms and routines that bring more peace to your home
