Therese Rose studied journalism at San Francisco State University, where she grew up in the Bay Area. She later moved to the vast wilderness beauty of Northern Montana, where she put down roots in a small mountain valley community near Glacier Park. A life long interest in holistic health (the integration of mind, body and spirit), compelled her to start a regional magazine with a partner, The Montana Health Journal. She created health events hosted by the magazine and learned much from the local wellness community who brought their expertise to share with the public. Through this work she learned how unique each individual’s needs are for ways to heal, cultivate resilence and thrive.
