Meet The Chia Leah Team
Leah Bostrom
Founder & CEO
Leah is beyond grateful to her health coaching clients who have inspired her to create unique, tasty and super healthy recipes turned consumer packaged goods. Her favorite Chia Leah product is our Maple & Olive Oil Quinoa Sprinkle with flax. The Sprinkle is not just a serious boost of nutrition, it’s versatile and crunchy. Add it to anything and have fun being creative in the kitchen with it! Sprinkle also holds a special place in her heart since it was the showcase product sold at our first Farmers’ Market in 2016, where our small team met so many customers who got just as excited as we are about our mission to fuel a healthy lifestyle! The Breakfast Cookie, also introduced at that Farmers’ Market, is a very close second! Leah keeps one in her purse as emergency fuel for those hectic afternoons. Her daily healthy habit is adding leafy greens to any meal she can! When she is not running Chia Leah Clean Eats, her perfect day would go a little like this: early morning coffee & peace, long walk with a friend or a run with Bill, chill time at home with family, a little afternoon snooze, a colorful home cooked dinner and early to bed post binge-worthy show, an episode of her beloved Golden Girls or great book!
Leah is in awe of each member of our Chia Leah team! They all bring good vibes, incredible experience, kindness and dedication to sharing our mission with others. Working with the team is the most fulfilling part of growing our business.
Bill Bostrom
Creative Director/Financial Officer
Creative and ever patient Bill loves Cookie Dough Clean Bites, because who doesn't like chocolate and peanut butter?! He works hard daily to stay active and eat healthy while trying to limit and moderate unhealthy habits. When he is not functioning as creative and financial guru extraordinaire for Chia Leah, he enjoys unwinding with family time, running with Leah and hitting the paddle courts.
Shannon Preda
Client Development Director / Social Media Coordinator
Detail oriented and always thoughtful Shannon’s favorite go-to Chia Leah offering are the Cookie Dough Clean Bites. She loves the Bites as a healthy midday snack or as a quick sweet treat after a meal. She also tries to keep the family fridge stocked with the Super Food Dark Chocolate Bark, but, since it’s her boys’ favorite, it never lasts long! Shannon’s daily healthy habit is meeting her daily “steps” goal — her smart watch and four-legged friend, Rocky the dog, both keep her on task! In her non-Chia Leah time, Shannon enjoys spending time with immediate and extended family, especially the many hours at the rink watching her boys play hockey.
Kim Whalen
Kitchen Production
Creative and sweet with 22 years of experience in the food/bev industry, Kim’s favorite Chia Leah product is the Garlic and Onion Crackers with the PB&J Clean Bits as a close second!
To keep her body healthy and hydrated, she is committed to drinking at least 60oz of water a day.
On her non-Chia Leah days, she loves spending time with her 12 year-old son, especially bike rides and board games!
