The Atlantan May 2017

 Thank you to The Atlantan for including me and {SAMA} FOOD FOR BALANCE.  Ilsa bunny made it too.  See the digital issue here.  THE ATLANTAN

{SAMA} Sampling

On Tuesday, December 13th, I had the pleasure of hosting the most discerning tastebuds in the Atlanta health and wellness industry at my home.  They all just so happen to be good friends as well.  They came to try {SAMA} FOOD FOR BALANCE bowls.  I am so honored by their support and input.  I can't wait to share the entire concept with all in early 2017 in Andrews Square in Buckhead, Atlanta.

The day after, after, after I finally awoke.  Thank you Becky Cawood for my favorites.  

Conscious Coupling

Best of Atlanta 2012

Power couple Tim and Shannon Sliger (he’s an architect, she’s a yoga instructor) embraced modernist slickness—marble, green tile, smooth black counters on wooden stands—with their boutique Buckhead juice bar. -Atlanta Magazine 2012

The "power couple" is back at it. 

We started dcoop together.  We started dshop together.  We started dtox together.  We barely escaped dvorce during the process but we made it and I'm very proud of what Tim and I have accomplished without outside help or family in town.    We've done it all and we've done it together.  

I took the children while he built the stores and then I put in the 16 hour days delivering, working the store during the day and then preparing deliveries for the next morning for either Tim or me to deliver.  It was crazy.   Starting a new business is exciting and exhausting but we are ready to do it again.  

I am so thrilled to say that {SAMA} FOOD FOR BALANCE will open in early 2017 in Andrews Square in the old Czar Bar.  

{SAMA}, meaning balance in Sanskrit, will be a healthy cafe with a mix of all the foods and drinks that I love with an Ayurvedic twist.   I love delicious foods that help us to be proactive about health, wellness and beauty.  {SAMA} will also include a meditation studio.  Mental health is just as important as what we put in our bodies for longevity and wellness.    

I am beyond excited to share this new concept with Atlanta and to create a space for the community to #seekbalance around good food, education and meditation.  

Follow along as we ready the store to open and for news about the opening day.  Want to be invited to our pre-opening menu tastings, sign up here for emails.
