A family tragedy leads to a healthy awakening
VR software designer Matthew Guelke was no stranger to adventure and odd jobs – he’d worked as a bike messenger and nature guide in British Columbia, an ESL teacher in Japan while studying martial arts, and even had a brief stint as a pharmaceutical rep fresh out of college.
And not in a million years would he have anticipated his next move – to open a healthy all-organic restaurant in San Francisco. It was never in the cards.
The story of how it all went down is remarkable yet with tragic origins. Following a family tragedy, Matthew found a new passion and purpose for his life – while others in his family found their own profound physical healing.
Watch the video below to learn more about this remarkable story and the origins of The Plant Cafe Organic in San Francisco, CA.
The Plant Cafe Organic has exceptionally high standards for organic and local sourcing and has been one of Leigh’s personal healthy favorites ever since it opened as “Lettus” in 2006.
