Hi, we’re Eric & Stephanie Manley and we are so glad you are here. Raising Manley is the place where you can learn simple ways to begin your garden, grow your own food and learn how to build your healthiest body that leads to transformative, generational change.
We have been married for over 20 years, have 3 amazing boys, 1 beautiful daughter-in-law and raise sheep and chickens on our small farm. We have been discovering our own health journey for more than a decade and it has resulted in being in the best shape of our lives. Now we want to bring you some simple solutions and strategies for beginning your own garden, resourcing and preparing your own food and taking control of your physical health. No matter where you are on your journey we want to partner with you and help elevate you to a higher level.
Eric is a Certified Personal Trainer and online fitness coach that helps busy parents and professionals lose weight, reclaim their confidence and generate contagious energy that leads to transformative change. Since 2021 he has worked with hundreds of people between the ages of 18-81 that has resulted in thousands of pounds lost (over 100 pounds for some clients), functional strength as well as increased endurance and stamina. He has a passion for building a community of wellness that educates and equips people with the tools they need to successfully continue living their healthiest life. Through his training and Stephanie’s nutritional and dietary knowledge, families have been able to change generational habits that had led to obesity and sickness. Together they have taught multiple seminars on health and wellness topics such as healthy aging, wellness and libido, easy food prep ideas, hidden ingredients in food and more.
Stephanie is passionate about all aspects of food, everything from growing, sourcing, preparing and eating. She has seen the power of food to heal and fuel a strong capable body. After the birth of her 3rd child she was faced with health challenges stemming from poor gut health. She was then introduced to The Gaps Diet along with the Weston A. Price foundation, a variety of herbalists, farmers, and natural health practitioners all using foods prepared with traditional methods to heal the body. Coupled with her experience of raising animals and gardens from a young age she is excited to share simple ways you too can experience beautiful life giving foods you can enjoy with your family and friends.
