We have an innate ability to heal and maintain balance when we’re equipped with the right tools and support.
I love sharing little-known, and often life-changing, information to help others make informed decisions about their health!
I consider myself and educator and am committed to helping others on their wellness journey. Through this website, my goal is to provide factual information and resources to help you make informed decisions about your health – so you can reclaim your natural state of health and vitality.
I have 30+ years of experience in health through education and my career path – and have learned that the body can regenerate and heal from just about anything.
My passion began during my teen years when I became interested in biology, nutrition, and health. In college, after deciding medical school (and its modality) wasn’t of interest, I pursued a Bachelor of Science in Health Education degree, and at the same time, explored alternative, holistic, and complementary health and healing approaches. I then attained my Master of Science in Natural Health and Ph.D. in Natural Health degrees.
