I'm Jennifer Payeur, the host of The Wellness Sherpa as well as the CEO and Founder of Nature Provides. I was diagnosed with cancer in 2015 which brought me the gift of deeply reconnecting with myself and nature, re-discovering the healing power of plants. In 2017, I left my 29 year career in financial services to become a teacher and mentor, traveling around the world to educate others on the inherent healing properties found in nature.

Once 2019 came around, I started Nature Provides, whose mission is to transform health and well-being through organic plant-based herbs and essential oils. By collaborating with nature, we can create a healthy thriving world and a sustainable earth.
