Holistic Health & Wellness. Since 2001, Dianne Porchia, featured in HEAL Documentary (Amazon Prime Video, Gaia), has a private practice in holistic health, wellness and stress reduction. She is featured in HEAL Documentary alongside notable names in science, medicine and spirituality for her successful work with one of her advance stage cancer clients who remains cancer free following a stage IV colorectal cancer diagnosis in 2013.
Mission Statement: Alarmed by the great many young people that seek out her services who are diagnosed with auto-immune disorders or advance stage cancers, as well as concern around a sick food system that has been fueling a sick care system in the USA, and advancements in laboratory-grown foods, robotics and AI technology, Porchia was inspired to found the Porchia Holistic Eco-Farm & Wildlife Sanctuary, LLC, as a legacy on their family farm for a place for the practice, study and education of regenerative farming, ecosystem conservation and health and wellness through Nature, working with the land and living in right relationship to Mother Earth.
Regenerative agriculture is a food production system that is free from pesticides, chemical fertilizers, antibiotics, growth hormones and other land-livestock additives and uses multi-animal species and crop-diversity to naturally build a healthy soil microbiome, resulting in nutrient dense crops and animal food production. Holistic health and wellness literally from the ground up.
