STUDY OF HEALTHY OUTCOMES

Johanna M. Keefe, MSN, AHN-BC, MA, RN, GAPS-certified, is passionate about spreading the good news of mothers
as they experience the healthy outcomes for themselves and their children following the principles of the nutrient-dense
diets of Weston A. Price. She is currently a doctoral student in transformational studies at the California Institute for In-
tegral Studies, and is conducting a PhD study collecting the narratives of mothers who are finding whole health through
traditional diets.
If you are one of them, and would like to share your story, please contact her by phone at (978) 290-0266. Her vision
is to publish a book for our next generation of mothers, which is an extension of the Wise Traditions “Healthy Baby Gal-
lery.” She currently lives and teaches holistic studies to students of nursing, and other disciplines at a small college on the
North Shore of Boston, Massachusetts, and can be reached by email at jmkeefe@endicott.edu.
