About Me

I love to learn, contemplate, develop and share information on well-being. Our health depends on a balance of mental, emotional, structural and biochemical wellness. I'm fascinated by how these work together and aim to provide insight for others to improve their balance of these fundamentals.

Why You Need ALKALETE



Alkalete helps neutralize acidic waste and promotes a healthy body pH.  It is different from other pH balancing substances in its delivery system.  The minerals are encapsulated so that they don't release until they are in the bloodstream.  These minerals then prevent the stripping of minerals from the bones, joints, muscles and organs.  Protecting the minerals in these tissues maintains healthy muscles, bones, joints, etc.  Think fibromyalgia, digestive issues (acid reflux), osteoporosis, degenerative joint disease (arthritis).  With healthy levels of minerals in these tissues, many of these ailments begin to disappear!

Using Zyto to Personalize Your Care



Zyto technology is based on the body's ability to respond to subtle stimuli.  Zyto scans do not diagnose or recommend treatments, they simply provide information about where your body is stressed and not optimally functioning.  Your body's responses to stimuli can help steer our treatment protocols to relieve stress in the areas that will benefit you the most and the fastest.


It is a simple, non-invasive scan that takes 7-15 minutes.  You sit comfortably with your hand on the cradle.  Subtle stimuli are introduced to your body and the proprietary software records your body's responses.  Clinical studies have revealed that Zyto scan reports show a high correlation with results produced by generally accepted diagnostic methods.  
Using the scan results and physical examination findings, we can treat the areas of stress or confirm certain findings with additional lab work or other diagnostic testing.  The Zyto scan is really a great place to start or expand your personal wellness plan!

Raindrop Technique



Raindrop Technique involves the amazing power of therapeutic-grade Young Living essential oils mixed with a variety of massage techniques.  It is designed to bring the body into structural and electrical alignment.  Often, spinal problems and misalignments are caused by or exacerbated by toxins that lie dormant within the spinal column.  The use of essential oils helps to dispose of these toxins, helping the structure return to normal.

Raindrop Technique is a powerful way to relieve stress, reduce inflammation, release stored emotions, detoxify the body, promote alignment and restore overall energetic balance to the body.  Nine different essential oils are used throughout the technique.  Each one supports specific structures within the body, such as wintergreen for bones, marjoram for nerves and basil for muscle spasms.  Primary areas of focus are on the feet and the spine.

The BEST Trace Minerals I've Found



B.E.S.T. Process Trace Minerals contains 77 plant-based minerals in a tiny form that our body can really use!  Normally, we would get all the minerals we need from the 7-9 fruits and vegetables per day we all eat, right? ;)  Well, even if you do eat that many (Good for you!!!), the soil where they grew probably doesn't contain the minerals it did years ago.  Apples today contain up to 2/3 less iron than they did in 1940.  Spinach contains 53% less potassium.  You should still eat lots of fruits and veggies, and add trace minerals to your diet as well.  

Trace minerals are different than taking calcium, magnesium or iron supplements.  These are the smallest particles in nature's ratios and your body needs them to perform many cellular functions. 

These functions include:  oxygen delivery, protein utilization, burning of glucose, enzyme production, antioxidant protection, immune function, brain and nervous system electrical transmission, and all muscle function (including heart, bowels, etc.).  Could you use a little help in any of these areas?

Why Passion Rocks!!




I LOVE PASSION! Yes, it's all natural... no artificial sweeteners!  It's very difficult to find an "energy" drink without artificial sweeteners, preservatives, and other toxic ingredients.  Passion has none of those.  It is an herbal supplemental drink with scientifically studied ingredients like green tea leaf extractcholineGABAcissus quadrangularisirvingia gabonensis, and super foods like pomegranate and acai.  Passion is loaded with B vitamins to support our adrenal glands.  This gives us steady energy, helps us handle stress, helps regulate blood sugar and reduce cravings.  And it's the way Yoli minimally processes their products that ensures you're getting the full benefit of these active ingredients.
Passion can help you decrease or eliminate toxic and acidic drinks like sodas and coffee. You'll feel great throughout the day and improve your health all at the same time!
