Jon Macaskill is a former Navy SEAL Commander, and through his career led a variety of dangerous missions in hotspots like Somalia, Panama, Iraq and Afghanistan. While the life of the Navy SEAL has been glorified through books and movies, there’s an unseen truth behind the scenes. Tremendous loss, grief, shame, stress, PTSD, and physical wounds are just a starting list of the toll their careers take.

Jon struggled with that toll for years, and when it was suggested he try mindfulness, he laughed. Hard.

But over time he tried it, stopped, tried it some more, stopped again, and finally got into a habit of mindfulness practice. Then he got good at it, and it was the answer he’d been looking for all along.

Because of how mindfulness has helped Jon regain control of his thoughts, emotions and responses, he knew it could help so many others. So he studied and practiced for years and now is bringing his approach to mindfulness to you.

Nikki Ledford is a chef, nutrition consultant, and natural foods expert based in Southern California. She believes that physical health and natural movement can be best supported by a diet consisting of real, whole foods.

Nikki’s own nutrition journey was borne out of a lifelong struggle with allergies, intolerances, insecurities, and frustrations. When Nikki began to experiment with her diet — nutrition quality, food source, preparation method, etc. — she began to experience noticeable changes in her body.

Drawing on personal experience and a desire to help others with similar issues, she decided to pursue nutrition full time. In 2011, she graduated from Bauman College, a holistic nutrition and culinary arts academy, in Santa Cruz, California, moved to Southern California, and launched her own business.
In her career, Nikki has helped a wide range of people — from cancer patients to elite-level athletes — achieve health goals and improve overall performance through better nutrition. In addition to serving a number of private clients, Nikki teaches nutrition and cooking classes, maintains an L1 Crossfit coaching certification, and practices yoga regularly.
