Life often takes us on unexpected journeys. For me, this journey started over twenty four years ago when my world was suddenly turned upside down. I thought I was a healthy person, but at the age of twenty-eight, I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). The experts told me that I would become completely disabled in time. They couldn't tell me the cause of the disease and there was no hope for a cure. I was a mess both physically and emotionally. I could not care for my young family, let alone myself. At that time, information was limited and I was really on my own. Shortly after my diagnosis, a family member introduced me to a book on complementary health care that opened my eyes to a new world of possibilities. That was the turning point for my journey and I have never looked back. I chose to be proactive, globally researching ways to regain my health. Over the years, I have tried many safe therapies and natural supplements. Some things have helped and others have not. I am grateful that I've enjoyed an active and healthy life without the use of pharmaceuticals since that dark time in my life. It may be that my twenty four year journey was necessary to prepare me for such a time as this when health-care systems are unsustainable, and many people are searching for safe, effective ways to improve their quality of life. I am a wellness expert and coach. I have a Bachelor of Science degree and am a certified teacher. I attend nutritional workshops and continue to research the field of nutrition and integrative health. My perspective is unique in that I have walked the walk with disease and overcame it and have an extensive science and nutritional background. The information I share in this book comes from over twenty years of research, personal experience, and experience coaching many others in wellness. My goal is to provide information will help you reach your health goals much quicker.
