Early on in my college education I had decided to major in nursing. I attended Stonybrook University in New York, however after a few twists and turns I graduated from Drake University with a Bachelors degree in Art Education. After devoting many years to full time motherhood I decided to return to school and pursue my nursing degree. I graduated with Highest Honors from Maria College - School of Nursing in May of 2001 and had thus come full circle.
I have been learning homeopathy for almost twenty years alongside my husband. My first experience was as a patient and I must say I was deeply impressed. I knew homeopathic medicine was vastly different than any other form of medicine I had previously experienced. I had a deeply curative response on all levels, physical, mental and emotional. This initial experience hooked me, and I have devoted long hours to learning the principles and practice of homeopathy ever since.
Another strong interest of mine has been Native American healing therapies, rituals and spirituality. Homeopathy and Native American thought share the basic understanding that all things are connected. It is a false notion to think that we can treat someone's physical ailments without treating the whole person. I have been exploring Shamanism and dream work as a path to healing and wholeness and often include aspects of these healing modalities in my work.
