About Maddy
I've known Maddy for over 10 years, one of the things I love about Maddy's approach to life, and health, is the balance between study and first hand experience. Both an artist, and technician in her approach. A combination of formal study, creativity and personal research/experiences she's constantly distilling the 'truth' and nuance behind what works. She's also a great cook.
