Wellness is a Journey

 It seemed to have started one day when my son was about 2 years old.  It was a Friday and he was not feeling well. I took him to his pediatrician who prescribed him an antibiotic. I asked him if that was necessary and he replied  “No, but most parents like to feel assured that they have some medication with the weekend approaching.” I told him, ”Please don’t ever prescribe my son something that he doesn’t need just to make me feel better.” I believe that was the starting point that began my slow journey to self healing.

Fast forward almost 20 years later and I am now dealing with some medical issues myself. I am always looking for ways to heal and treat myself and family with a holistic approach. In these last 20 years I have come across many wonderful teachers, doctors and educators that have taught me better ways to take care of myself. What I have learned is that we must adopt the pace of nature and be patient. With natural remedies, healing takes time. I have learned to remove harmful substances from my home and diet and replace them with things that actually  have benefits and soothe the body and mind.

 Last year I decided to get a Wellness/Health Coach certificate and try to help others in this very complex area. I believe many people like myself have health issues that are not being answered or treated and thus leaving us with more questions and feeling frustrated. I feel many doctors today just want to give a pill and pretend the problem will go away. As a matter of fact, my father who is 80 just went to the Dr. last week for some issues. The Dr. very willingly prescribed him some medicine and my father wanted to know how to get to the crux of the problem. His doctor just replied and said “You're 80, just take the medicine and be happy.” This is how many people are treated today. I want to help people find the root of their illness and show them a way forward through a less toxic solution.

I can’t wait to hear your story and guide you through this very toxic world. I would love the opportunity to coach you through your struggles, find balance, and bring nature back in to your wellness journey.
