WHY I DO IT ?

As a registered professional nurse for over 20 years I watched  many of my patients suffer with chronic illness that could have been prevented.  For years it broke my heart to watch people become sicker while taking medications and visiting doctors.  They seemed confused , distressed, and helpless.  It really started to wear on me.

Then, as God/Spirit would have it……I became a patient in this broken down “sick care” system.   That changed everything,  in so many ways!   After a few years of  “trying it their way”….I began walking a different road.   I knew enough about the western medicine system to know that if I followed that path I would end up with no liver, kidney, or stomach from all the side effects of the medications the doctors prescribed to me.

I would end up like all of my patients did……confused, distressed, and helpless.

In one fateful moment I said a prayer and made a choice: I chose health and well-being.

From that day on I have committed not just my career but my my life to education, research, and healing….. to find ways to work with the natural healing wisdom of  our divine creator and our body’s inner healing power.    I have studied many, many healing therapies and modalities, and sought the highest credentials, skills, and experience possible in  the ones that I found produced the most effective and consistent results for myself and others.

I learned to accept and trust that even though I had started out with the intention to heal “pain and suffering” as a nurse in western medicine, God and Spirit had a different plan for my life.  I was led to and through numerous chronic diseases and pain to find my way to the other side, and then honor that gift and healing by bringing it to others that are looking for the same opportunity.

I am grateful every day for the path and the gift of healing that I am able to give to others……to serve those who  choose to Feel their Health and Vitality and to reclaim and live in the power of their life.

Symptoms of dis-ease or discomfort  in the body-mind  are an opportunity, a message from the body.  In order to heal one need only be able to “Know the Language” and then listen to the message and take action to head it’s message.  I am now fortunate and blessed to spend my time educating, coaching, and empowering clients with their own custom plan for natural health and healing.

Ayurveda offers a complete system for natural health and healing.  I have a few areas of specialty which include healing chronic digestive disorders, chronic pain and immune system system disorders, like fibromyaligia, and helping woman to move through the menopause years with ease and grace, without antidepressants and hormones.

My services and programs have helped hundreds of  clients and they will help you feel your health and vitality again!

WHO I AM

Most important to my clients is that I have walked over the coals and through the fire on my own healing journey and I bring that wisdom and skill to my practice.   I integrate my skills, training, intuition and life experience to provide  transformative services to my clients.

Although I was trained as a nurse in western medicine it is my schooling and hands on training  in Holistic Medicine and therapies that helped me to reverse chronic disease in my own life …..reversing  fibromyalgia, hypothyroid disease, migraine headaches, and degenerative disc disease.  As a matter of fact, I pretty much sailed through menopause with out hot flashes, mood swings, hormones, or antidepressants.

You can too!
