Hi, I am a Natural Health Consultant and a Certified Herbal Specialist. I am passionate about helping others improve their health. I have consulted many people over the past several years in matters of natural health and herbal therapies. I have attended seminars, taken classes, and studied many author’s works in this area. I am currently studying to become a Naturopathic Doctor.
However, I feel like I have learned the most in treating my own children, which is how I got started on this quest in natural health and healing. I first took the medical route for my son when he was having life threatening breathing problems, sinus trouble, delayed speech, terrible skin rashes, and suffering from hyperactivity.
Well, their solution was antibiotics, steroid creams, steroid breathing treatments, tubes in the ears, and Ritalin. They diagnosed him with asthma, A.D.H.D., bacterial infection, and eczema. At the time, I was quite naive so in spite of the fact that I felt uncomfortable with this, I just nodded my head and figured they knew more than I did. In my mind, I just couldn’t accept that the medicine would cure the problem because they didn't even know what the cause was or where the problem began. That thought kept gnawing at me when I would give my son these treatments. Then one day, I read about the side effects of the steroid cream, and I couldn't believe they told me to put this on him. I stopped using the cream, and that lead me to learn more about the other prescriptions I was giving him. Well, long story short, I thought there must to be a better way. That is where my journey of studying natural health and healing began.
Today, my son has no breathing problems, no eczema, is not unusually hyperactive (he is a boy, you know), and he can hear and speak beautifully. He’s never been on medication since, or had tubes in his ears. What I learned, was that my son’s problems were due to either nutritional deficiencies or food allergies. Don’t get me wrong I am not totally against medical treatments especially in emergency situations. I just think we need to try to find the cause of the symptom and treat that, not just treat the symptom. I like herbal and nutritional treatments because they strengthen the body and help it heal.
So, again I am passionate about natural health and healing because it has improved the lives of my children, family, friends, clients and last but not least myself. As a Christian woman, I believe that this passion is a gift that God has given me to help others.
I am also a home schooling mom of 3 awesome kids with 1 more on the way (as my husband would say, "with 1 in the oven").
