To go along with the grand opening of Be Health and Wellness I thought it would be appropriate to introduce myself and tell you just a bit about who I am and where I come from. Although I have lived more than half my life in the States my roots are in Canada. I was born and raised in northern Canada in a small town in Alberta named Grande Prairie. I come from a large family, me being the oldest of 8 children. I lived most of my childhood in a house that my dad built on 4 acres of land about twenty miles from the small town of Grande Prairie. This is where my knowledge and love of Alternative Medicine started. My grandfather had moved from the States to open a chiropractic practice in Grande Prairie before my mom and dad met and got married. It was a big part of my young life and an everyday kind of thing. I thought, as a young girl, Alternative methods were a normal thing and that everyone used them. It wasn’t until I was into my teens when I realized that not everyone knew about holistic medicine and in fact, I was the odd one. Most people either didn’t know about it or thought it was “quackery”. I, on the other hand, knew of its power and healing because I was lucky enough to experience it daily. My grandpa was amazing at what he did and being able to experience all that alternative “magic” planted the seed of holistic health in me. I am truly grateful for this beginning, for my holistic roots.
This is where my foundation in Alternative started and I am so grateful for it. Today I live in Tooele, Utah with my best friend and soul mate of almost 26 years. We have now lived in the states longer than in Canada, just over 23 years. We have 4 amazing boys ages 24, 22, 18, and 11. They, like me, have grown up with the knowledge and appreciation of Alternative medicine. It wasn’t until my youngest was about to go into school that I decided to go back to school myself. I had this nagging feeling that it was time to use my God-given talents and my family legacy to heal others with alternative means. After receiving 1 Bachelor's degree in Alternative Medicine, 2 Master's degrees, one in Alternative Medicine and one in Nutrition, and certifying in both The Emotion Code and The Body Code, I am at the beginning of what I hope to be a promising practice. My hope and dream is to use what I have learned my whole life to benefit others’ lives as a health and wellness coach. “Be Health and Wellness” has been a lifetime in the making and I am so happy to bring it to you. I am delighted to start this journey and I am even more excited to invite you along for the ride!
Be Happy. Be Healthy. Be Whole.
