About Margot:

Margot is a Canadian girl who never recovered from summer camp. She came to Bozeman over 20 years ago to be a whitewater rafting guide. She is a mother of 2 wild children and a student of all things mystical. She loves eating, and finding ways to make healthy food super yummy.

About Callie:

Callie Martin is a Montana native, born, but not raised here her whole life. She moved back in 2016 and is happy to call Bozeman home again. Her culinary curiosity began at a young age baking biscuits with her mom on the family ranch, and she found great joy in preparing meals and treats for her family and friends, as well as creating custom cakes. She fell in love with kickboxing 3 and a half years ago and it immediately became part of her daily routine. Her passion for health, fitness, community, food, and kickboxing have led her to become a kickboxing instructor, pastry chef at Wild Crumb, head chef at Starseed vegan food truck, and she is currently developing her career as a personal chef. All of these ventures allow Callie to find fulfillment in supporting others in living active, strong, empowered, healthy, lives. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, yoga, meditating, drawing, creating recipes, cooking and baking, traveling, and getting tattoos.
