Paula Youmell's Book Signing: "The Whole Food Kitchen Series: Hands on Health"

Time: 
May 22, 2013 - 3:00pm - 5:00pm
Location: 
Potsdam Co-op - 24 Elm Street, Potsdam

Paula Youmell, a Certified Holistic Health, Nutrition, and Fitness Counselor and a long-time Co-op Member/Owner, has published her first book in "The Whole Food Kitchen Series"!

Paula has over 20 years of experience as a registered nurse, health and physical education teacher, and whole foods nutrition educator who has trained in a number of areas such as Yoga, Reiki, Holistic Healing, and more.

"The Whole Food Kitchen Series: Hands on Health" focuses on healing the mind, body, and spirit. Paula says "I write this book to remind everyone of their own innate ability to heal.  Healing is the norm.  If you cut your finger, it heals without intervention.  Every part of your body is capable of healing if it is given what it needs to heal and thrive.  This is a Vitalist philosophy of healing:  Healing comes through nature.  You are nature; therefore, healing comes from within you and through you."

We will be carrying Paula's book in the store and will be hosting a book signing on Wednesday, May 22 from 3 to 5 p.m. This book is also available for purchase online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Balboa Press.

Paula hopes to help support three local non-profits with the proceeds from the book:

Little River Community School, Canton, NY http://www.littleriverschool.org/

About the Potsdam Food Co-op

The Potsdam Co-op is a member-owned natural foods consumer cooperative where everyone is welcome to shop and anyone can join. While we carry many of the items that customers typically purchase on a weekly basis, we also offer a large variety of quality specialty products that are not available in ordinary supermarkets. 

The Co-op was established in 1973 and has been growing to meet the changing needs of the North Country ever since. Now in its fifth location, the Co-op remains a locally-owned business whose members volunteer to work alongside paid staff to keep the shelves stocked and the store running. Although everyone is welcome to shop at the Co-op, the strength and the health of the store depends on a strong membership base. Membership unites us with hundreds of area families who believe in and support the Co-op as a successful shopping alternative. 

The Co-op is dedicated to supporting the local economy. Through partnerships with numerous local farmers and artisans we are able to feature a wide selection of local goods that have been produced using environmentally-friendly practices.  We are actively engaged in the community as we support local organizations and work to raise environmental and nutritional awareness.
