Lisanna Wallance

Bio

Lisanna Wallance grew up in New York​,​ attending Barnard College of Columbia University before moving to Paris. She was born with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome​,​ a connective tissue disorder that causes dysfunction throughout the body. When her symptoms suddenly worsened​,​ she delved deeper into her passion for cooking as a way to help heal herself. She spent years experimenting with her diet​,​ using food​,​ plant and mushroom medicine as a way to regain control over her life. Her first cookbook​,​ The Natural Witch's Cookbook​,​ has also been published in French (Editions Solar) and German (Riva Publishing). Her book is the culmination of the medicinal knowledge she acquired during her health journey and a sublimation of her suffering to help others. Lisanna lives in Paris with her long-time boyfriend and splits the rest of her time between Normandy​,​ New York​,​ and Martha's Vineyard.
