MY STORY
I have always had a desire to be a healthcare provider as far back as I can remember. I have been on a spiritual path for most of my life. I was first introduced to alternative healthcare when I was 16 years old and went to see a chiropractor for an automobile accident. I knew even back then, there is always another and sometimes an even better way to approach your health.
The desire was then brought to life even more when in 2006 the love of my life "my husband", heard those dreaded words you have a tumor, and it is maligant! My husbands face turned pale and my heart was beating out of my chest. Quickly I needed to step up to the plate and prepare the action plan. The next few weeks were a whirlwind of doctor appointments, tests, scans,and various options of treatments. To shorten the story a bit, we were advised by 4 surgeons that radiation and surgery was the way to treat this, however his quality of life would change drastically. Instead of doing both of these treatments, as suggested we did the lesser of the two, and decided on radiation needing to still get rid of the tumor. Along with dietary changes, exercise,meditation, quitting smoking,chelation therapy,and lots of prayers and positive reinforcement, I am happy to say it has been 5 years and he is "cancer free"and doing great!
The true lesson here is that we MUST listen to our own bodies because no one knows better than yourself. Dietary changes, exercise , proper rest and mindset are all huge aspects in treating or preventing an illness.
A pill is only a quick fix, and never gets to the core of the problem. It all starts and ends with you! This is the approach I take with my clients. I am here to support, listen and encourage you in the changes you are seeking to make your life and your health the best it can possibly be~ So let us begin...
