JTG #49 Rosacea & Ayurveda With Wild Grace Skincare Founder Kim Parenteau

*Special announcement about the podcast*
Hi, I’m Caroline Dalia Kaliani, Functional Nutrition Practitioner, Herbal Medicine Mama & formulator of a botanical skincare line for rosacea.
A few years ago, I launched this free educational platform called Journey to Glow.
The goal? To explore natural, holistic and effective solutions for skin “issues”.
In my quest to share the effectiveness of natural medicine, I interviewed over 75+ holistic skin experts (Functional Medicine Practitioners, Naturopathic NDs, Holistic Nutritionists, Integrative Dermatologists, and Ayurvedic doctors…) as well as dozens of womxn who fully healed rosacea.
The Journey To Glow podcast reached over 100,000 listeners and received hundreds of 5 stars reviews in 30 different countries. But the best part? Were the weekly emails from listeners and readers who shared they have regained hope that they could heal their skin!
Mission accomplished!
After years of making the episodes available for free on mainstream podcast platforms, we are now rethinking how we want this information to be accessed.
If you’d like to be notified of the next steps, sign up for the Glowletter at the bottom of this page.
Thank you for listening and for being on the journey with us!

JTG #49 Rosacea & Ayurveda With Wild Grace Skincare Founder Kim Parenteau
Kim Parenteau, founder & formulator of Wild Grace Skincare, has suffered from a series of health concerns, mostly related to digestion and her menstrual cycle.
She began educating herself when she was in her late twenties as she wanted to get to the root cause of her ailments. She intuitively knew there was more to decipher than the symptomatic approach to health was revealing to her. Thus, she began her journey on a path of true self-discovery.
It was back in 2010 when doing a yoga teacher training that she was introduced to Ayurveda; a philosophy and health system practice that originated in India thousands of years ago.
This event changed the course of her life in many ways as she gained a new perspective on things,
began understanding life through a holistic lens that seemed to magically but logically connect all the dots.
The Sanskrit word Ayurveda means “knowledge of life”. Kim’s curiosity and passion for this science lead her to study with the acclaimed Dr. Anita Sharma and become an Ayurvedic practitioner herself. Her deep interests in holistic beauty, herbology, aromatherapy, spirituality, yoga, and self-care rituals have been the driving force behind the creation of WILD GRACE.
She stands by the fact that glowing radiance & beauty comes from self-care & self-awareness.
In this episode we cover:
- Ayurveda’s perspective of skin issues
- How to bring your doshas into balance and eliminate excessive inflammation
- Cooling foods versus warming foods
- How to eat in harmony with your dosha
- The importance of supporting the digestive system for clear skin
- How to infuse skincare with stone medicine
- The importance of fresh organic ingredients in skincare
- Rituals for well being
- Infusing mantras into our skincare rituals to promote healing
