I was riddled with health problems growing up ranging from tubes in my ears six times as a young child, to being diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis at 14. They said I would be in a wheelchair by the time I was 40 and that I would never have children, as it would be too hard on my body. I was put on a regimen of anti-inflammatories and pain killers... my life for many years. I also took about a dozen Excedrin every day because I learned early on that was the way to prevent headaches. Fast forward to adulthood, and I began to drink alcohol on top of everything else. 

When I was about 30, work colleagues encouraged me to check out a place that practiced Eastern Medicine. I already had my first child so I felt I beat the odds, though the pregnancy was quite painful. When I went to see what all the fuss was about, for the first time in my life, I was told I didn't have to "own" my disease - my first step in learning about the sacred mind-body connection.  This was the first half of my 10-year journey to  replace a lifestyle, from anti-depressants to ADHD meds to sleeping pills and heavy drinking.  

After another baby and a divorce, I was introduced to essential oils and thus, the second half of my journey began. The more I learned, the more fascinated I became. Was there really a good alternative to medications? I was very skeptical. But the more I learned about the oils, the more I also learned about medication. I learned about nutrition and that things we put on and in our bodies either help or hurt us on a daily basis. I began to replace medications, one at a time, with oils and supplements. Within a year I was  off pain killers and anti-inflammatories and mostly kicked my Excedrin habit.  I felt a freedom I never experienced. I wasn't at the doctor or going to the pharmacy every week. I wasn't missing work because I was sick. I completely stopped drinking  and have been sober now for more than four years. My life has changed in immeasurable ways.  

I'm now compelled and find great joy in sharing the many ways oils can benefit and enhance life. I'm full of love, gratitude and appreciation for a life I can live fully now that I've faced my demons. I'm healthier than I've ever been, spiritually, emotionally and physically. I believe this is only the beginning of my journey. I look forward, not only to learning, but to serving others with my knowledge. 

Join me the first Monday of the month to experience chakra-paired oils, music and dance. This experience allows for the joyful clearing of emotional and energetic blockages ready to be released.
