I am a native of Bettendorf, Iowa, and I earned a BA degree in Sociology and Psychology from St. Ambrose University in 1996. I have practiced clinical nutrition for over 2 decades. My husband Dave (Naturalist/Director) and I, have four children between the both of us. I have dedicated most of my adult life to the healing profession through clinical nutrition, and wellness education. I knew at a very young age the body had its own innate healing system. I was drawn to find out as much as I could about healing myself, and how I could help others. When I was a child I had a virus that attacked my heart, and I almost died. I believe this led me on my own healing journey. My parents often used alternative healthcare means when I was young, taking me to Chiropractors for adjustments if I had a cold, etc. It was always something that made me feel better, without the use of medications. Many of the tools I use today I learned from high level minded healthcare practitioners of the healing arts.

In 1999, I created my own wellness health consulting practice, Organic Therapies, which encompassed massage therapy, clinical nutrition, and education. I have attended countless continuing education nutrition trainings, reflective of my passion for the field of applied clinical nutrition with whole foods and herbs. I love to share, and educate others through my knowledge and expertise in the field of holistic healthcare and healing.

I want to empower anyone I work with, to take charge of their own health. I assist by offering the best tools to feed their cells, opening detox pathways, and strengthening the immune system while also providing balance to our mind, body, and soul. Emotional health and dealing with traumas are a missing link to our overall health and well being and must be a part of any healing program. Far too often this gets overlooked and can block us from true healing and finding balance.

Throughout the years, I have also been certified at the Institute Health of Arizona in colon hydrotherapy. I represented Standard Process INC., (wholefood nutrition and herbs) for over 3 ½ years in the state of Iowa, as the educator and consultant for practitioners. I was blessed to complete numerous trainings and continuing education in the field of applied clinical nutrition. Essentially, this is nutritional therapy over drug therapy. The body is made up of vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, and water.

The root of most disease is deficiency and toxicity.  This is not what Western medicine has taught us and often times people are misinformed about health and the link between their health issues, food, toxins, etc. There is a direct correlation between disease and deficiency. Our body and every system in it functions and runs off of vitamins and minerals etc.

The disease process begins when we are deficient and constantly exposed to toxins and we all are. Quality whole food nutrients, herbs, detoxing, essential oils, hemp oil, and homeopathy all play a key role in restoring our health at the cellular level.

I have been trained from the perspective of nutritional therapy, using high-quality therapeutic professional-grade products including: detoxification, auto Immune issues, endocrine health, thyroid, adrenals, hormones, heart health, aging, general immune function, prevention, liver/gallbladder health, bone and muscular health, blood sugar, gut issues, emotional well-being, and much more.
