ABOUT SHINE

back when triplets were a very rare phenomenon.  It is this relationship that taught us about what sisterhood means.  All our lives, we were naturally compared to each other by both ourselves and others.  As young ones, we were dressed the same, in the same classes, and many people had a very hard time telling us apart. We too had challenges about what was our own and what was our sister’s.  It made for a unique existence. It created curiosity and led us down an introspective path at a young age to discover who we were as individuals and also the roles we played as part of the whole. We discovered that when we stood tall in our own being instead of playing small or hiding behind one another, our true essence was right there, just waiting to be recognized.  It gave us the courage to open our first business at 24 years of age.

Over the span of 20 + years we created iconic restaurants and gathering places each of them about building community and connection to one another, to our bodies and to our spirit.

Through our epic dance parties, nourishing food, herbal potions and cocktails as well as classes, workshops and retreats; we bring deep nourishment and community together~sharing our own unique gifts woven through all of it.

We have seen in our own family how food, love, and connection heals. Our brother Dennis was diagnosed with a degenerative disease called metachromatic leukodystrophy as a young boy.  His doctors gave him 25 years to live. Today he is 52 years old and even his doctors can’t deny that he is a living miracle and proof of how love heals and when we nourish our bodies and spirit for optimal vitality, we can transform our health and our lives.
