Hello and Welcome to Our Site!
Midwest Mermaid Muse focuses on providing seasonings that enhance both nutrition and flavor for a variety of food products and recipes. We also make a few other products and will feature them as available on the site — including topicals for skincare, seasonal food items and a selection of teas. But as the note from Kathleen Foland, our founder (and the Midwest Mermaid Muse) indicates, our site is much more than our store and products, it is about sharing a lifestyle that takes a unique approach to wellness and beauty.
- Kathleen’s blog (Musings) shares a variety of topics about looking and feeling good
- Under Just for You, we’ll help you on your personal health journey with tasty Recipes and commonsense Health Tips
- Because our products are made with Seaweed and Healing Mushrooms, you’ll find information about their uses and benefits as part of “Superfoods”
- We routinely showcase our products at special events, celebrations, holidays and fairs. Check our both our current and past events to see what we’re up to!
So spend sometime and check everything out. We hope you’ll come back often and don’t forget to sign-up for occasional emails about new products, specials, events and more.

Become Your Own Muse!
Our site is much more than our store and products, it is about sharing a healthy lifestyle. As a certified health coach, I am offering a customized approach for each individual who wants a healthier life starting with a 45-minute complimentary consultation to see if it is a good fit. Thereafter, one-on-one consultations with you (which might involve your family) would be put together in a customized package and priced according to your needs. Sessions might include cooking classes, restocking the pantry, use of herbs and seasonings, and use of cleaning supplies. This is all geared to your own individual food preferences and family lifestyle. There is no one protocol that fits every family or individual.
It all starts out with taking the neurotoxin test and finding out if that’s the direction you want to go to clean up your present lifestyle. (Click on the green box link for preview.) We begin by starting to take baby steps necessary to detox and nurture by determining how serious your desire is to make changes.
The test is a beginning step. MIND BODY SPIRIT is also such an important part in this and no one area should take precedence. It is a comprehensive approach, with “lifestyle” being the keyword. I want to help you become your own guide and I will introduce you to different resources that can give you some basic information and if it rings true, then you have a window of opportunity to pursue more.
Then you can become your own muse. For information on how to get started, just email me at kathleen@midwestmermaidmuse.com.
