NH born and raised, I came from a large family. I gained many life skills at a
young age, which guided my independence and strength. Enduring physical and
emotional challenges much of my young life, I turned to the traditional medical
model. Traditional medicine always brought treatment and recommendations, but it
did not bring me health.  With a limited outcome presented to me, I began to
search for more answers. Over time, I discovered a place within myself that I
had no idea existed. I now call this place, my body within. Learning about, and
developing my body within has guided a personal and successful path to health.

     I have maintained a successful marriage for 29 years, with 3 amazing
children, and 2 precious grandsons. My life's work is to help others gain health
and well-being when they feel that traditional medicine is not suiting them
well. My book, The Body Within, discusses my personal path to healing while
teaching readers how to better choose health for a better path in life and a
peaceful death.
     Beyond my love for my work and family, I have developed a
love for photography and writing. These interests have guided me to develop a
weekly blog and self-help community. This arena gives like-minded individuals a
place to express their journey to health, sharing a common vision of the world
through words and pictures.
    As I continue to live my purpose, I hope to
educate and reach those looking to gain health. We, as a population, are at a
critical point within the healthcare community. Our population is aging and
striving to maintain their independence. I desire to empower others to gain
control of their health; teaching that we have a choice to live a healthy life,
leading to a peaceful death.
