Jacque Salomon

Jacque received her Certificate in Plant Based Nutrition from the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies, is a Certified Conscious Parenting Coach, and studied in collective and racialized trauma resilience. She uses these modalities to support individuals and communities arrest and reverse the consequences of the imposed colonial lifestyle on Mind, Body and Spirit and achieve their multidimensional health goals.
 
A mother of three neurodistinct, indigenous children (her oldest earned his angel wings at the biological age of 11), Jacque battled neglect, discrimination and pushout of her children's brilliant neurodiversity from the Arizona public charter school system. After she was able to secure a balanced and respectful learning environment in which her children were celebrated and championed, she joined the ACLU of Arizona's Demand to Learn Campaign. Why? Because if they were doing this to her with the bandwidth, time, energy and resources to take on this challenge and abuse...what were they doing to children from less advantaged circumstances? Jacque now supports parents of Indigenous, Black and Racialized students with IEPs to navigate the Public School Special Education system.

Through a Whole Plant Foods Lifestyle, meditation, yoga, and psycho-spiritual remediation, she arrested and reversed her own chronic diseases — such as Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension, and GERD — and shed 164 lbs. Realizing the profound power we have over our own health, as well as the autonomy she regained over her own body and well-being, Jacque is determined to bring her story and support to communities most at-risk for future pandemics and climate destabilization.

Jacque's gratitude and health are channeled into her work as a Lifestyle Medicine Practitioner and Intersectional Activist supporting historically marginalized communities in the Phoenix metropolitan area and surrounding reservations. Her work is focused on bringing Whole Plant Food Nutrition literacy, whole plant food access and affordability and trauma-resiliency and support to underfinanced, underserved communities by collaborating with grassroots organizations devoted to healing our most distressed zip codes.
