Hi! I'm Sheena - a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Real Food Advocate, and serial entrepreneur. 

Inspired by my extensive health journey, I founded Wild Mala in 2017. I set out to reconnect people with real food, emphasizing traceability and transparency. Wild Mala began as a handmade nut milk business and evolved into a brick-and-mortar grocer by the following year. Seeing the number of people seeking food to support their chronic health symptoms inspired me to pursue my Nutritional Therapy certification in 2020.

Six years after I started Wild Mala, I found myself at the beginning of a new health journey. Rather than myself as the focal point, it was my two foster dogs. They came to me with serious acute illnesses including parvo and heartworm. While traumatic and life-threatening, these diseases had clear causes and roadmaps for treatment.

What inspired the next chapter of Wild Mala were the chronic issues that no one could give me straight answers on including nonstop itching, ear and skin infections, and digestive issues. My life was turned upside down by all-night itch sessions and urgent bathroom trips.

It took just a couple of vet visits to realize that the canine healthcare system is similar to the medical system that had failed me. Why? Conventional settings don’t look for root causes. They cover up symptoms rather than identify why symptoms are occurring.

I had to become my own resource for information, and my dogs advocate for real food, fewer chemicals, and less bullshit.

While initially overwhelming, it became clear that the root causes creating suffering in our canine companions align with what I had already learned as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner.
