Today I’m talking to Tonya Papanikolov on trusting the path, synchronicities, and following her as she built Rainbo, a functional mushrooms business all made in Canada.

 

About our guest:

 

Rainbo was created by Tonya Papanikolov, holistic nutritionist, raw food chef, and wellness leader.

 

In 2017, Tonya created The Well Woman, an education platform to inspire, empower and educate holistic health, nutrition, and healing through food and lifestyle. She continues to coach clients, consult with restaurants, cafes, speaks and hosts wellness workshops, and leads international retreats.

 

From a young age, Tonya was sure of a few things: her affinity and deep love for all things rainbow and that she was here to help people on earth. Her interest in mushrooms started in her early 20s and continued as she used mycotherapy to heal herself, clients, and through her research into how mushrooms can save people and the world.

 

Rainbo is inspired by a reverence for nature and its healing properties and a desire to reconnect people back to this innate wisdom.

 

Mushrooms have the incredible ability to heal and balance the body and mind, and they help heal our environments and ecosystems at the same time.
