MEET THE HOSTS
SUE + CIARA of HER Kitchen
Susan believes a woman should always appreciate herself + honor her soul in everything she does. That philosophy has helped her create a business that inspires women to recognize their individuality, personal style and strength.
She has owned and operated her businesses with her daughter, Her Story + Her Sanctuary. What began in 1990 as retail business has grown into a destination where you can heal your mind-body-soul.
Taking care of yourself inside + out has always been important to Susan. She graduated from Niagara County Community College as an RN in 1985 and began her journey of nursing as a charge nurse at Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center. Sue is a true believer in integrative health, working part time at a local functional medical practice, Cardea Health Integrative.
Susan is a true wellness warrior and advocate for the fight against breast cancer and continues to empower and inspire women to live their best possible life. She was recognized by the American Cancer Society for her wellness work in 2012 and has also been commissioned by Roswell Park Cancer Institute to create a healing sanctuary in their resource center.
Ciara, a long-time restaurant professional + certified sommelier is using her knowledge of hospitality, her passion for food + her dedication to celebrating ingredients to bring HER Kitchen to life.

Our emphasis and direction should be on the prevention of disease and taking those steps to eat healthy (plant based, whole foods as much as possible), incorporating exercise into our daily lives, practicing mindfulness and meditation, as well as being committed to recycling, sustainability and making a difference in this wonderful community in which we live.
