Jacque Salomon

Jacque Salomon is the co-founder of Seeds to Inspire Foundation of Arizona and an advocate for plant-based nutrition and education in marginalized communities..Born and raised on the ancestral lands of the Lenape people (Manhattan, NY), Jacque lives on the home of the Akimel O’odham and Piipaash people (Phoenix, AZ). She is an American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) Health Equity Achieved through Lifestyle Medicine (HEAL) Initiative Committee Member, collaborator/supporter to Let Our Ancestors Rest Campaign, Founding Board Member of SimpleVeg, Board Member for Eat for the Earth 501(c)(3), former Pod Advisory Committee Member for PlantPure Communities and proud former Community Liaison to Stand Up ASU student club. She shares her work and healing journey as a Speaker and supports individuals as a Transformational Coach.

Jacque received her Certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition from the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies, is a Certified Conscious Parenting Coach and studied in collective and racialized trauma resilience. She uses these modalities to support individuals and communities in their work to arrest and reverse the consequences of the imposed colonial lifestyle on Mind, Body and Spirit and achieve their multidimensional health goals.

Through a Whole Plant Foods Lifestyle, meditation, yoga, and psycho-spiritual remediation, she arrested and reversed her own chronic diseases — such as Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension, and GERD — and shed 164 lbs. Realizing the profound power we have over our own health, as well as the autonomy she regained over her own body and well-being, Jacque is determined to bring her story and support to communities most at-risk for future pandemics and climate destabilization.

Jacque's gratitude and health are channeled into her work as a Lifestyle Medicine Practitioner and Intersectional Activist supporting historically marginalized communities in the Phoenix metropolitan area and surrounding reservations. Her work is focused on bringing Whole Plant Food Nutrition literacy, whole plant food access and affordability, and trauma-resiliency and support to underfinanced, underserved communities by collaborating with grassroots organizations devoted to healing our most distressed zip codes.
