About ME

I began my nursing career over 30 years ago and have experience in OB, OR, Community Heath & Nursing education as well as my current role as a School Nurse. I recently completed my masters in health education, as I have always been passionate about educating my patients in all of my previous nursing roles. I entered nursing school straight out of high school as I always had a desire to help others, & the science of the human body fascinated me. 

Over the past 20 + years, I have utilized various forms of naturopathic & alternative medicine as I have always believed there is an underlying cause to all of our ailments. While I truly believe allopathic medicine has its value in certain situations, I do not condone "band-aid methodologies" of treating symptoms with pharmaceuticals, which tend to allow for more cascading side effects & even death.  Unfortunately, we have been led to believe we can never be healed  from certain conditions & that we will always be dependent upon pharmaceuticals to sustain us. 

Working for past few years during the pandemic as a school nurse, I have become even more disillusioned with our healthcare system & I realized I was extremely limited in how I could help my patients (students & their families) with the recent protocols I needed to follow. I began seeing the detrimental effects the lockdowns, "social distancing" isolation, repeated quarantining, & even masking had & continues to have on their physical, social, emotional & mental well being. 

 Knowing my own personal struggles with these external stressors & seeing its effects on my physical and emotional health, I began to dig deep & continued on my journey of asking "WHY" regarding ALL of it..... I knew deep within my heart I was being called to something greater in which I could assist people in a more holistic  manner.  Through much prayer, the Lord led me to begin studying under Dr. Stephen Cabral at the Integrative Health Practitioner Institute & here I am ready to help you live your best life moving forward!
