Read My Story

Until my children were born, I led a nice, normal, conventional life.

I grew up in Detroit, Michigan.  My parents, sister and I camped in Florida, fished, read, sang, and played Parcheesi.  In the summer, I attended Ukrainian scouting camps and spent lazy days reading and swimming at our summer place.

After high school, I got a degree in chemistry and did cancer research. Later, I earned a master’s degree in hazardous waste management and worked in the environmental field.

When my daughter was born, I chose to devote myself entirely to being a mother.  I soon discovered that every mother is a student, a teacher and a healer.

By the time my daughter was teething, I had begun studying homeopathy.  I was thrilled to discover that giving a few safe and natural white tablets eliminated her discomfort.  When she hit her head after jumping off the bed, a swelling the size of an egg instantly appeared and I watched in amazement as another homeopathic remedy made the swelling disappear within 30 minutes.

When my sons were born, I had even greater opportunities to learn, to teach and to transform.  By this time, I was also studying approaches for natural living and gentle parenting which benefited our whole family.

Studying with master homeopaths and iridologists at the Institute for Natural Health Sciences (INHS), I learned innovative and powerful ways to support the natural harmonizing tendencies of our bodies.  The guiding philosophy of INHS recognizes that each individual is a composite of physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and environmental elements. The energy-balancing methods, rooted in natural law and supported by cutting-edge research, work to establish and maintain harmony among these elements.

At INHS, I studied and practiced homeopathy, nutrition, homotoxicology, homeotherapeutics, electrodermal analysis, iridology, herbalism (with Gretchen Weger Snell) and auricular and hand therapy.   Recognizing the importance of emotional release as an essential component of harmony, I studied meridian tapping techniques, including EFT and Matrix Reimprinting with EFT Master Karl Dawson and Sasha Allenby.

Today, my work focuses on supporting parents as they support their children and honor themselves.  I believe the principal purposes of life are to expand (learn and grow!) and enjoy life.  Transformation leading to balance and harmony is the first, essential step. I hope to be your guide on your journey of expanding and finding joy in yourself, your children, and your life.

I have three children.  One is autistic.  All are magnificent, often mysterious, sometimes challenging, and uniquely inspiring.

Through my life and education, I have experienced numerous catalysts for health that have transformed me.  I am grateful for the opportunity to share them with you.
