about me.

Hi, I'm Maryana Lishman INHC, founder of Raised on Real Food. I reside in beautiful New Zealand with my husband, daughter and rescue dog. Our journey began when our daughter was diagnosed with eczema, allergies and failure to thrive as an infant. With no family history, at first I felt overwhelmed and scared, before becoming increasingly frustrated with the medical approach to just cover her in steroid cream and wait.

So I threw myself into researching the relationship between the gut, immunity and the skin. What I learned made so much sense, I put a skin and gut healing plan in place and almost immediately things began to turn around.

Over the next few months her skin became smooth and soft but it was when her allergies began to resolve so quickly opening up a new world of food freedom, that I began to get really excited. Her transformation became a testament to the power of taking an active and intentional approach.

Empowered by our experience, I wanted to share what I'd learned so I created The Healing Tribe on Facebook, a thriving community that is still growing daily and then my online clinic where I've since helped thousands now enjoy epic skin and gut health.

​

Healing my daughter and navigating those roadblocks, shaped me into the practitioner I am today and is the driving force behind what I do. I love working with families because I have seen over and over what happens when they are given the right tools, education and guidance - and that's what I'm here to do.
