Ann Wigmore was born in Cropos, Lithuania on March 4, 1909. In 1925, at the age of 16, she moved to America to join her parents, who were already living in Massachusetts. She married and later gave birth to a daughter, but it was only after the end of her marriage in 1955 that her life vision began to take shape.

In poor health, she began using weeds and wheatgrass juicing to heal herself. Over the course of the next 35 years, she promoted natural healing via her schools in Boston, The Hippocrates Health Institute, which opened in 1963, and The Ann Wigmore Foundation, begun in Boston in 1985.

Her brilliant, long-lived career included lecturing, writing, and giving wheatgrass demonstrations in over 35 countries. Her untimely death in Boston on February 16, 1994, was due to smoke inhalation from a fire at the Ann Wigmore Foundation.

Ann Wigmore's contribution as a humanitarian, world wide healer, educator, writer, and tireless promoter of natural health lives on at the Ann Wigmore Foundation in San Fidel, New Mexico.
