I have a Bachelor's in Environmental Studies and have studied holistic health by taking many classes, reading, and fostering relationships with people in the field. I have worked for alte ative health companies on both coasts and advised people on preventive eating and lifestyle choices. I practice yoga and eat a mostly raw diet. I was healed by alte ative methods twice in my life which is why I am so passionate about sharing the benefits and guiding people in their process. At the age of 14 my arm went numb and I developed chronic back pain which lasted two and a half years without relief. My kind family did everything they could to try to relieve my pain but after trying every type of doctor and procedure, the pain was no better. I was given a myriad of diagnosis and finally took a whole stack of medical records to a group of doctors who are highly esteemed. They put their hands up and said I would probably be in pain for the rest of my life, unable to lift things or bear the weight of childbirth. My sister happened to be in a book store and picked up Dr. John E. Sarno's book called Healing Back Pain: The Mind Body Connection. Two weeks later after applying the mental techniques of his book, I had retrained my brain not to feel back pain and have not experienced back pain for 10 years. My second alte ative healing happened 5 years ago when I developed severe health problems for 9 months. I had severe pain in my stomach, my stomach was swollen and I experienced acid reflux, low energy, anxiety, intestinal bleeding, nausea and forgetfulness. I found out that I needed to eliminate gluten from my diet and all the symptoms disappeared. I empathize with people who do not feel well, having experienced chronic sickness. I have read many books on alte ative healing by well reputed authors such as Deepak Chopra, Lynne McTaggart, Dr. Bruce Lipton, David Peat, Dr.Norman Cousins, Dr. Gabriel Cousins, Don Miguel Ruiz, Masaru Emoto, and many others. I have helped many people understand the science of the mind as well as preventive health options and they have told me their lives have been forever changed for the better. I do not claim to be a doctor and if you have a serious physical conditio I suggest you seek medical advice in addition to alte ative healing options to rule out anything that needs immediate attention. I am an artist and create healing artwork for people. I also have studied books on ancient cultures, reinca ation, and the journey of the soul. When Jesus spoke of the peace that passes all understanding, he was touching on the interconnectedness of all things, the energy we are a part of, and the ete al nature of the soul. I live minimalistic and do not own many things because I they offer no satisfaction compared to the joy of helping another. I am here to help people learn how to be grateful, smile more, and complain less. People always ask me why I am always smiling, I want to share my joy with others.

I am grateful to share my experience and knowledge with you and mostly I am here to listen and provide feedback.

Thank you,
