“Madinah came highly recommended to me from a health practitioner I trust.  I was initially looking for someone to help me navigate plant-based nutrition after having my third baby, however, once Madinah and I spoke I knew that she would help me with so much more. During our three-and-a-half-month period of working together, I experienced exponential growth! Madinah didn’t just instruct and teach, she empowered me to create the lasting habits in my life I'd always wanted. Madinah’s intuitive guidance allowed me to uncover deep truths and heal old wounds. She managed to be fiercely present, while also taking incredible notes in order to provide timely feedback. She always imparted her wisdom in a gentle and honest way, while making sure to reflect back to me my own wisdom. Her focus on serving each individual in the the most unique and profound way, allowed me to blow past every one of the goals I had initially set for myself. She is kind, clear, attentive and incredibly knowledgeable. Her gifts are what we all deserve and what the world so desperately needs. Thank you, Madinah, you have quite literally changed my life.”

“I came across Madinah’s program at a time when I felt depleted in my time, energy and spirit.  I signed up for her program because I wanted to nourish my body so I could have the energy to do all the things: nurture my children, serve my patients and community and be present for my loving husband.  I was surprised to gain so much more!  Madinah offered extra support by teaching me how to be still and explore areas in my life that I wasn’t living authentically by pleasing others which was strong my peace.  Her program was a gift and I still follow the rituals she taught to start my day nutritiously and end it with grace and gratitude.  If you want to transform your life, follow and sign up with Madinah today!

“Madinah's energy (and smile) grabbed my attention instantly when I saw her do a piece about juicing on the local news.  I had been on a health journey for a few years but knew I was needing a boost in my health protocol but wasn't sure how to go about it on my own. I was hesitant at first to reach out to Madinah directly not knowing what I'd get myself into from a cost perspective and accountability commitment.  After a few email exchanges, I decided to make that commitment and was so glad I did!  We touched on all elements of my life and lifestyle, what was serving me well and what wasn't. She had the ability to tune into my story quickly and create a plan that addressed all of my desires for change.  Always prepared when we met and always thoughtful with her words while holding me gently accountable and giving me space to think on my own while guiding me through the process. Madinah opened my eyes to preparing AMAZING meals and juicing that nourishes the body and soul but wasn't a daunting task. A lot of work was done on my emotional well- being which I wasn't expecting, but found these conversations supportive in how I move through my day and how I interact with those I love. I could write a book on how much I appreciate this woman, but what I will say is that I miss our weekly meetings and not a day goes by where I don't use her advice either in my kitchen or in my moments of stillness I look for to keep me on track with how I want to show up for myself and for others.  Having this time with Madinah has made a difference and I would encourage anyone wanting to make changes that stretch beyond the imagination to connect with her.” 

In gratitude, J.R.

“I sought out Madinah’s services because I was ready to make changes in my life to better my health and that of my family. I was surprised by the fact that Madinah’s program went deeper than nutrition, I learned about myself and the connection I have with plants and the earth. I learned that I was limiting myself with negative thinking and stopping myself from realizing my potential and creativity. After working with Madinah I lost a dress size and close to 18lbs. I have made several changes that have impacted my whole family such as the introduction of living snacks and more plant based options in our meals. I am now a huge fan of making my own herbal teas and practice morning hydration with herb infused waters and teas. I am more concious of where my food comes from and clothing are from. I have shifted my makeup, soap and body lotions to natural plant based lines. My life is more open to experiment and I feel more flexible with my choices and decisions I make. What I liked most about working with Madinah was the 1:1 setting and the personalized approach to my journey. I would recommend Madinah over anyone else because not only does she have the knowledge she also lives this life in every way and it show! Thank you so much Madinah!! This experience was life changing!!”

“The first time I went to see Madinah with The Living Farmacy I was not in a very good space. To be honest I was at my wits end with my health. I was going to multiple doctors, taking prescriptions, supplements, etc. and nothing was changing. I would feel better for a short time and then go right back to where I was after the antibiotic course was complete. It seemed that nothing worked and I began to give up hope. That’s where I was when I had my first consultation with Madinah.  She helped me transition my diet to eating foods that were actually healing me. She didn’t give me a magic pill or offer me an easy way out option. She simply told me “you need to change your diet or this isn’t going to get better.”  And she was absolutely right. It was difficult at first to make the changes a habit. I was resistant at first. But results don’t lie.

After a short while working with Madinah I noticed I started feeling so much better overall. Not just my gut health, but other things I hadn’t even imagined started to improve. My hair stopped falling out. My periodontal disease was reversed. I hadn’t received a clean bill of health from my dentist in over 15 years! My stomach wasn’t bloated anymore. I had more energy. And my plantar fasciitis was gone! I started waking up in the morning without any aches or pains. I even started sleeping better. I am so incredibly grateful to Madinah for her knowledge, expertise, compassion and patience with me. I can’t even imagine where I would be if she had not helped me transform my health and get my life back. Thank you so much Madinah. You are a true blessing!”

“I reached out to Madinah because I knew I needed help and I wanted better.  I saw her smile, her glow and figured she’s onto something.  I want THAT.  The glow, the smile the laugh the look.  The information I received and the perpetual encouragement honestly in every meeting with Madinah was truly one of the things that made me happiest about being in the program.  I learned that I deserve to be happy, healthy, helpful, honest, and powerful.  I became aware I needed to love myself better.  Love myself more authentically.  What I loved most about the program is the progress the program promotes.  Staying disciplined and calling out fears and feeling strong enough to combat them with the information received.  The results I received from the program took my body to a place it’s never been before.   I slept harder, longer, and my confidence shot through the roof.   I decided to stop eating meat,  my discipline in juicing enhanced my time management.  I literally see myself as a giant!  A powerful human being who has taken physical strength and turned it into medicinal healthy transparent power.  After the program I now sleep harder, my energy levels rival young athletes, sometimes surpassing them.  I am in tune with me, physically.  I can feel and sense an “invasion” and can react quickly and properly with the right foods and juices.  My level of self-awareness and desire to learn more has become a laser!   I lost weight and gained muscle tone and now with the lifestyle change and the new  knowledge I’ve been able to keep the weight off.  I would recommend working with Madinah because she is the missing link.  She’s the X-factor and its simply just that.  Working with Madinah she showed up as herself.  Madinah is loved and loving, respected, admired, powerful, knowledgeable, honest, patient, and radiant.  The way Madinah showed up for me in the program was the support I needed, wanted, and received.”

Transformative, life-changing, healed, energized, and quality sleep.  Those are descriptors I have embraced since joining Madinah Simpson’s Living Farmacy program to a healthier me.  Prior to meeting Madinah, I have been a proponent of plant-based eating for more than 25 years.  Notwithstanding my plant-based diet, I fell in the unfortunate category of being unhealthy, overindulging in carbs, sugar laced products, sodium and the ultimate killer of good health -processed foods.  My ill-conceived eating habits made it difficult to get rid of stubborn belly fat, high blood pressure, frequent bouts of depression and energy depletion.  All these physical challenges were compound with an array of vitamin deficiency.  After working with Madinah these physical challenges have resolved and or improved dramatically and my body has now cleansed, repaired and rejuvenated. Discovering Madinah during a lunch break while watching ABC 15 Sonoran Living Show was my saving grace.  Her message of healthy eating (living) resonated with me immediately.  My initial call with Madinah was eye opening and gave me the assurance she has the dietary expertise to guide me to becoming a healthier me.  Although I have been on an all plant-based program for a long time, believing I was healthy, my consumption of other products labeled vegetarian/vegan were the cause of so many, if not all, of my physical issues.  As Madinah and I carefully examined my overall well-being and the products I was consuming, I discovered I was duped into believing the commercial products labeled vegetarian/vegan were good for me.  Not only was that revelatory for me, Madinah’s method of explaining healthy eating helped me better understand the healthier choices that derive from a whole food plant-based lifestyle. For me there are no more, chips, alternative meats, dairy free drinks, can products, and process foods.  Since completing 1:1 coaching with Madinah and adapting to this life changing process I am gradually evidencing a quality of life I have never experienced.  Thank you Madinah!

“I met with Madinah initially to address my reduction in stress, weight concerns and to reduce frequency and intensity of migraines.  I must say that I was able to address those concerns and so much more by working with Madinah. When I first met with Madinah she asked me what my goals were.  I explained to her what I thought were my goals but ended up getting so much more. First, Madinah meet me where I was mentally and therefore set realistic attainable goals. Then she was able to speak to me about my spiritual and soul needs. I was able to make a whole mind, soul and body connection. I have lost 22 pounds and counting, was able to greatly reduce the frequency/duration of my migraines, reduce back pain and have a better overall understanding of health and wellness. There are so many things that I have learned but the most important things that have really made a positive change for me are as follows: the importance of increasing my water intake, reducing my sugar intake, knowing what are healing and what are toxic foods, juicing and most importantly making my self a priority. So many people around me have commented  on noticing a change in me not just the weight loss but an overall state of looking better. I have told them they need to meet with Madinah!  The value in this experience is priceless!! We often time spend a lot of money on things, though I have learned throughout this journey with Madinah the importance of investing in myself. I will continue to take what I have learned and strive to a great state of wellness.”

“I sought out Madinah’s services to help me connect back to myself, I felt she truly embodies and lives what she teachers. I was surprised to learn so much more than nutrition, I learned that I do know what I want in life, it’s just about trusting myself. I learned to trust and listen to my intuition and my body. I loved most about the program how hands on it was. Madinah teaches you how to make nutritious plant based meals, walks you through the garden and has you plant your own herbs and lets you connect with the plants. She loves to share! I was surprised about how personal and 1:1 attention I received in the program. Madinah gave freely her time and resources. She takes her time at each session and is present with you and you never feel rushed to get through your session. I celebrated most during the program finding the awareness of who I was and becoming. My life now after working with Madinah I make better choices. I know what I’m getting at the grocery store. My meals have more nutrients and Madinah taught me the healing benefits of herbal medicinal teas. As a result of working with Madinah I have gone back to enjoying making my own fresh pressed juice and cooking more meals at home. The meals I do make at home now have more healing foods. I recommend The Living Farmacy to others because Madinah will guide you and go at your pace and push you a little further each time to make better decisions and heal your body. Madinah is a woman of integrity and will show up for you 100%! She listened to me with no judgement and tapped into her guidance on what was best for our sessions.”

“I was experiencing a number of health issues such as high blood pressure and sugar, adrenal, thyroid and kidney issues. I wanted my journey to health to be prescription free, I was looking for an alternative. I needed a lifestyle change but was not knowledgeable on how to do it. On facebook I read about Madinah, a lifestyle and wellness coach and her Living Farmacy that promoted physical emotional and spiritual health. This appealed to me! Working with Madinah together we developed a wellness plan that included nutrition, my connection to the earth, vocalization, gut health, self-love and so much more! My health has improved working with Madinah! I’m more energetic, I get compliments on how great I look and I lost 30 lbs! Thank you Madinah for asking the right questions and helping me find my own answers. Thank you for helping me transition into a life with more self-love and a healthier life of authenticity. Thank you Madinah for my gift!”

“My children and I had been exploring a vegetarian lifestyle however I was looking to go to the next level and seek professional guidance. When I first met Madinah I was amazed at how her skin was glowing and this light she had about her. As she shared more about her lifestyle and her programs I was hooked and signed up to get her support immediately. Very quickly after working with Madinah I had more energy, more regular bowel movements, and even thinking clearer. My family and I changed the type and amount of water we consumed, the type of foods we chose to nourish our body, I started juicing regularly and my kids loved it! Madinah’s lifestyle advice went beyond just a coach, she became a mentor and a friend who really helped me turn around my health. I could call Madinah for support and she would instantly get back to me and give me the best advice and support. I’m so glad I met Madinah she has really turned my life around and has helped me be a stronger man, especially sense I lost my mom 2 years ago. I strongly feel that Madinah was a gift from the most high, and she still helps me out to this day.”

“I had chronic lower back pain, heavy monthly cycles that would keep me home because I had to change so frequently, and hypothyroidism. Also, my cardio metabolic test didn’t look so good. High lipoproteins A, high omega-6/omega-3 ratio, high arachidonic acid/epa ratio.  Madinah helped open my eyes and my mind to this whole new world where there is flavor and deliciousness in a plant based diet. It’s not difficult to do and makes my soul feel good. I am no longer taking my thyroid medication. My lower back pain is about 95% resolved. I can’t even compare it to before.  My monthly cycles are normal and much much lighter.  I have not had a cardio metabolic test again since July, but I’m hopeful when I do that, my numbers will have changed for the better. 

I have learned that this lifestyle is not difficult and it is more satisfying than I could have ever imagined. I am sleeping better. I have better bowl movements....which I thought I was doing ok with since I use to have one bowl movement a day. But now I am emptying out more times a day. I am aware and awake in regards to the food I put into my body. I have always known I should  eat more fruits and vegetables but always questioned if a plant based diet would be filling and satisfying enough.  That seems so silly now! I have also felt the need to purge things in my life and declutter since starting this lifestyle. I feel like I want to be light in all parts of my life.  I feel more connected to the earth and to myself. 

Working with Madinah has been such a joy. I love being around her energy, full of positivity and light.  I have learned so much from Madinah and will continue to. Her passion and knowledge motivated me to start this journey. I am inspired to stay the course by the way that I feel and hope to just continue to make improvements in my health.”

“I started my holistic health journey with Madinah, Nov. 2017.  My transformation has been amazing....physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

Madinah's understanding and insight into the human condition, offered by her own personal journey, allows her infinite gifts to shine in assisting others.  Madinah's comprehensive knowledge, intelligence, wisdom, passion, commitment, excellence and discipline coupled with genuine empathy, compassion, joy, gratitude, humanity, harmony and balance ensure a strong foundation for personal evolution and growth.  She is living her truth of health and wellness!!

I'm thankful for her light and splendor.  I  highly recommend her services.”


Angela Roberson

“Working with Madinah provided me the clarity to understand that a change in diet helped me feel better physically. I learned to make nutritious meals  and they were easier than I thought they would be to make. I realized how important it is to prioritize preparedness and being ahead of things. I find that my body was more satisfied and less tired when I changed my nutrition lifestyle .  The habit of eating the standard American diet is a hard thing to brake but when the body starts responding to a healthier way of preparing meals the motivation to continue is there!” 


Christina Hillis

“When I went to Madinah I wanted to work on two things that I was certain was related to my food intake. 1. I wanted a closer connection with God 2. I wanted to lose the heavy feeling of being bloated all the time. What Madinah helped me with is increasing my water intake and helping my bowel movements. What I have learned is I have to be in control of my health and foods can make you have a physical glow. I feel like working with Madinah  helped me get back on track with God’s purpose for my life.  I also learned that I don’t have to do strenuous workouts and that meditation and healthy eating should be done together. I enjoyed working with Madinah! I felt supported and that I could accomplish my goals because I knew that I had someone to support me along my journey.”
