I am first and foremost a wife and mother of three active children - two teens and one just starting elementary school. I live in Wisconsin and love to travel with my family whenever possible. I am active in my church and volunteer my time with charities that I believe in and that I believe make a true difference in my life and the lives of others.
I have been working in the healthcare field since 1990. A career, that like myself is continually evolving. You see, I started in the healthcare field as a Certified Nursing Assistant. I worked at this while I was attending Technical college to become a Physical Therapist Assistant. I graduated from Technical College and since then have been a Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant.
I have been working as a PTA for the past sixteen years in various settings including pediatrics, orthopedics, long term care, sub-acute care, industrial rehabilitation and the public school systems. I truly love the work I do and get great personal satisfaction from helping people improve their health. It is the combined experience of working in the traditional healthcare industry, along with my passion for improving mine, my family’s, and other peoples overall health that led me to begin exploring natural health options.
Working as a PTA, I have had the opportunity to work with thousands of patients with many different health conditions and though they did benefit from traditional interventions to a point, something was always missing. I’ve seen many patients that are on so many medications, they can’t even tell you what they all are or what they are all for. Many of these patients suffer numerous side effects from those same medications, side effects that dramatically effect their everyday lives, yet these people continue to take these medications, as they, like many others think there is no other alternative. It was because of this that my interest in natural health soon became a passion.
I began to explore more deeply natural, preventative, alternative and complimentary types of interventions. Through my personal explorations and research, I have found that the most preventative and complimentary intervention you can do is to provide your body with proper nutrition. This revelation led me to Nature's Sunshine Products. Nature's Sunshine not only has a complete line of vitamins and minerals to give your body the vita-nutrients it needs and craves, they also carry a complete line of herbs and other homeopathic remedies and natural products to meet other needs of your personal lifestyle. What impressed me most about Nature's Sunshine is that they not only carry the products you want and need, but as a member they also EDUCATE you about their products and teach you how to use them properly. The most important thing I have learned so far is that if given the proper nutrition, your body can do amazing things to heal itself!!
My passion for natural health has now become a new lifestyle for me and my family. I am also now pursuing a Master’s degree in Natural Health, have become attuned at Reiki Level one and am also pursuing certification in Massage Therapy with a specialty in Trigger Point Massage for pain relief and in educating my patients in self management of joint and muscle pain.
My goal is to reach out to, and educate as many people as possible in the importance of proper nutrition, the power of healing touch, all natural alternatives to traditional medications, and the importance of balance in our daily lives.
