I have been an R.N. for more than 36 years.  Most of those years were spent in clinical nursing and management in the hospital setting.  Traditional medicine was all I knew. 

 

At the age of 7, our youngest son was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome Plus.  His tics were life altering and the behavioral components he dealt with were heart breaking.  We worked with health professionals trying behavior modification therapy, counseling and medication.  Nothing seemed to be helping him.  A dear friend recommended that I look into food allergies as a possible cause for his symptoms.  We had lab work done which revealed he was allergic to just about everything in his life, food, chemicals, metals...  We started NAET treatments, modified his diet, started supplements and the changes were amazing!  He has now been medication free since he was 10 and his symptoms have been reduced by more than 90%. 

​

Jan of 2010 I attended training to become a Certified NAET Practitioner and I've been practicing NAET ever since.  I'm amazed by the results that we see when using this technique for people who are suffering from symptoms related to seasonal, food, chemical and all types of allergies.  I've also seen people who have improved from symptoms such as sinus issues,  joint and  muscle discomfort, feeling tired all the time, general aches & pains, bowel issues, red or itching skin and so much more.  As I began working with both children and adults ,it became clear to me that it was equally important for them to understand  that they could take control of their health by making good lifestyle choices.  My nursing background equipped me with the food guide pyramid as a tool, but my years as an RN had convinced me that traditional nutritional advice based on this tool has not provided Americans with the information they need to really improve their health.  In October of 2012 I attended the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and became a Certified Natural Wellness & Life Coach. I have incorporated natural health coaching into my practice ever since with wonderful results.  It is truly rewarding to see people improve their health and attain their goals! 

​

So much of my practice has involved clearing emotions with NAET, so to enhance my skills with intuition and emotional clearing, I completed the Emotion Code Certification.   I continue to learn more to help those and after a year of intense training, have completed my certification as a Certified Energy Health Practitioner.  I believe in treating the whole person - body, mind and spirit.  I feel the training I have received and continue to persue allows me to do just that!

 

The transition to Natural Options for Wellness has had a great impact on my life and on the lives of those I am honored to work with.  I understand that for some, it's a difficult journey to achieve a level of wellness and balance that allows them to function at their best, but I also know that it can be done.  Gradually, over time, new habits can be created and wellness is definitely within your reach!   I hope you'll consider letting me help you learn more about natural options for wellness that will change your life!
