It is funny how life sometimes leads you down paths that you had never imagined. Growing up, I wanted to be a teacher or a psychologist. In college I received my BA in Social Work. My professional career started with foster care and then later to working at a mental health center for children and families. When I became a mother, I decided to stay home. While being a stay-at-home Mom, I started working out at a local fitness center. Long story short, I ended up being offered to teach fitness classes and started studying and received several certificates, including Pilates Mat, Pilates Reformer and Kids in Motion. I have been teaching fitness classes, especially Pilates since 2004. Despite working out 6 days a week, sometimes 2-3 times per day. I started noticing my health slowly decline. By 2008, I was struggling with sleeping and achy muscles. About every 6 months I went to the doctor to let him know that I was not getting better and that my symptoms were increasing. After years of no answers and no help, I decided to take my health into my own hands by researching and looking into natural medicine. The outcome was discovering a world of natural healing including massage, reiki, quantum biofeedback, essential oils, reflexology,using food as medicine, and so much more. As I saw the benefits of natural healing, I decided that I wanted to help others discover this world of healing and to be someone who could provide some forms of natural healing.
I began by studying reflexology and received my certificate in January of 2011. Since then I have added other therapies. I list my education below in order they were received:
