Shawna Lee Coronado, environmental and horticulture expert, teaches the world how to be green and healthy with her new book, "Gardening Nude".

For more than ten years, Coronado lived with severe stress and acute health issues. Coronado’s constant pain, allergies, and asthma led her to take more than a dozen prescriptions per day. Miserable, ill, and desperate, Coronado built the Get Your Green On Healthy Philosophy in hopes of finding a way to improve her own mental and physical health. The more she practiced her green philosophy, the more apparent it became that her plan is a miracle cure for an unhealthy lifestyle. Coronado now takes only three medications per day and feels better than she ever has.

This philosophy teaches how to become mentally and physically healthier by living a green lifestyle. Gardening Nude teaches readers how the combination of reduced stress, green living, and building relationships can create a positive mental attitude at work, at home, and in life.

Coronado says, “The term, ‘gardening nude,’ is a metaphoric expression which means to strip away the negative excuses and feelings, get off your fanny, and get out into nature to improve your health and lifestyle. It is all about living life happy and to the fullest."

Shawna has been featured on a number of websites and blogs explaining the book and how gardening helped heal her.  You can read more at the following sites:
