Want to know who I am?
Why you would want to have me help you?
These and others are very good question? Let me tell you a little bit about myself.
As long as I can remember, I have always been interested in health. My mom said I use to bring home stray cats. And as long as I could remember, I had wanted to be a nurse. I did do one year of nursing and then decided that was not the best way for me to help people. So I went off and did other things. But health was always something I was very interested in. I read books on health just for the fun of it. Ah, fun you say! Each to their own!
All kidding aside, I finally decided to do something about it. I began by going to University and taking a B.SC. in Home Economics, majoring in Family Studies. I learned about families (and people in general), and how things are changing for them. A very rewarding time!
While there, I decided to take the Touchpoint Reflexology course that was being offered in the community. There we learned about the organs and muscles of the body, and how the feet, energy, and organs/muscles are all connected. When I give reflexology, I find it is as relaxing for me and the person who is receiving it. But don’t just take my word for it. Try it for yourself! I would highly recommend it!
Then I joined Nature Sunshine and took many of their courses regarding health, herbs, Chinese Medicine. What I found most interesting was to find out that herbs are just food (classified as wild food). They are designed to give us the nutrients we need for our bodies to respond optimally. Of course, some herbs work faster than others. It can also be very confusing as to which herb works the best for what the body needs, so that is where I can be very helpful. Come and talk to me!
From there I took a 2 year course on Natural Nutrition. We learned about nutrition, health, how the body operates, biochemistry, etc. At the time, what I found amazing was how the media has not always given us the right information about the food that we eat. I also can see how all the advertising about: how this food is better than that food; or this diet will work when nothing else will; or this nutrient is safe this week and next week it is very harmful, can be very confusing. I can help you sort though all these different messages!
Of course the true learning always comes when you actually help others along their paths of health. I have done that for seven plus years now. You will find me committed professionally to what I do. As each person is unique with diverse backgrounds, I am constantly upgrading while we work together to find what will best suit you. I take the time to listen to what is happening to you, and what you are prepared to do because I know that this must be a lifestyle change. Some people can and will make changes quickly. Others will not. Each person’s journey is their own!
I have a warm, sincere, down to earth technique. I educate. I will be honest. Some people will like that and some people will not. I will encourage you and support you. I will look for possible solutions for you. What will work for one person does not always work for the next person. What you decide to do with what I tell you will be up to you!
