Chrissy Harada

Chrissy Harada is a degree-qualified journalist and holistic nutritionist, certified health coach, nutritional medicine practitioner, freelance writer, and author of more than a dozen books. But her most important job has been being a mum to three children — including twins.

Her endless curiosity about the world, human nature, wellbeing, nature, and the big question of how we might all live a little better has taken her down some fascinating rabbit holes. Along the way, she’s learned a whole lot over the decades, poring over thousands of research papers and continually seeking to understand the science behind the things that shape our health and lives.

Today, Chrissy brings all those threads together in the books she creates for children and families. She writes about the things she believes help us live well and find more joy in everyday life: health and wellbeing, nature, practical life skills, curiosity, confidence, and the simple pleasure of learning something new.

She believes that health is one of the great currencies of a good life. When we feel well, we have more energy, more patience, and more presence to pursue our hopes and dreams. And she believes that helping children grow up healthy, curious, capable, and confident is one of the best investments we can make in the future.
