About the Presenter:
Melissa Goltermann started her healing journey after 10 years of being on pain management due to a serious car accident. She found the medication was only masking her symptoms and she searched for ways to heal her body. Coming off the medication was not easy, and her body is still healing.

She offers free classes to children and adults at her not-for-profit food forest farm Momma G Farms, located in Eustis, Florida.
