modern living, rooted in nature.

Hi, I’m Tina—creator of River Ternary, a space for cleaner, greener, and more sustainable living. Here, I share simple ways to live well, from toxin-free home and skincare to mindful wellness practices.

River Ternary is also home to Haven Provisions, where I collaborate with Chef Gustavo of Clay restaurant to create nourishing recipes and thoughtful food guides. Together, we’re bringing fresh inspiration for living and eating in harmony with nature, without compromising on flavor or sophistication.

hi there! I’m Tina.

I’m Tina, the creator of River Ternary. My journey began with a desire to live more intentionally—choosing foods, products, and practices that nourish the body and honor the environment. Over time, I realized how overwhelming it can be to navigate toxins in everyday life and find brands you can truly trust.

I started River Ternary as a way to share what I’ve learned: simple, sustainable choices for healthier living, rooted in nature but designed for modern life.
