“Re-examine all that you've been told. Reject that which insults your soul.”

From the time I was little I had digestive issues.  I grew up in the Midwest in the 80’s and alternative healthcare did not exist, at least not in my world.  I went to doctor after doctor with no help outside of prescription drugs.  No mention of food or diet.  Finally, when I was 23 I moved to Montana and was advised to see a naturopath.  I didn’t know what that was, but at that point I was willing to do anything.  I was taking 36 pills of a sulfa based drug EVERY DAY and was still in excruciating pain.  She (the ND) told me that in 6 months I would feel good and in a year I would feel great.  She was right.  And what did she do differently that no other doctor had?   She asked me what I ate.  It was that simple.  She put me on a diet that was right for me and gave me various herbs to help nourish my immune system which was incredibly depleted from the sulfa based drugs.  I did not have any symptoms for 15 years.  So, when I hear that it is not possible to heal from digestive issues like Crohn’s, I cringe.  It is possible. 

When I did have a flare up due to stress, I started taking Gastrex from Standard Process and I have been fine since.  See more about Standard Process…

After graduating from college, I spent the next ten years working with women’s issues, primarily domestic violence and sexual assault. 

In 2001 I finished massage school in Maui.

I’ve been told that I give a very intuitive massage that gets to the core of problem spots.  My goal is to work tissues cautiously while maintaining an aggressive edge.
