My Story:
I am Michelle “Mimi” Lucurto, RN, a Director of Sanctuary Farms. I have been working in the medical field for 17 years as a registered nurse. I have watched as our hospital’s patient population has gotten sicker over the years. Also, working in One Day Surgery, I have seen the surgeries change from mostly acute type (fix your broken bone or inguinal hernia) surgeries to repetitive work o

n very chronically ill patients (put a port in for your chemotherapy, create or fix your AV fistula for renal hemodialysis). As I get older, I watch as my friends and family around me age also. Many of my friends, neighbors and family members have developed chronic diseases…some of which have been fatal. In the attempt to help them and prevent myself from suffering the same fate, I began to do research. What I found out was that medicine does not seem to be a route to wellness. In fact, medicines can be toxic to the body. God made being well very simple and provided everything we need to do so. It is not complicated and you don’t need to see someone who you think is smarter than you to get answers. It is time for a new paradigm. Out of this awakening was born the Wellness Program at St. Philip’s Episcopal Church, moderated by Fr. Stephen Craft and myself. The goal is to gather the community and educate them on those things we have learned can make them much healthier people in mind, body and spirit. In addition to the above, the outcome of this program has been networking opportunities that reach far into the New Orleans community. Through this networking and barrage of information from so many sources the idea for Sanctuary Farm and Market was born. We feel God has led us on this path and will provide what is needed for this project’s success. Our community needs it.
