As a child, I marveled at mother nature and spent every moment I could exploring the tall grasses,   neighborhood creeks, playing with all the creepy, crawling creatures and  marveling at how everything seemed to be connected. 

I have always wanted to help others, I just didn't have the years of experience, knowledge and wisdom as I do today.  As a child I would rescue anything that needed help, the struggling earthworms after a rain, the injured baby squirrel or the stranger who just just seemed lost.  Ignoring others in need was not an option!  

 It seemed likely I would find a career working in nature somehow.  A veterinarian, a National Geographic explorer, or maybe a biochemist.  The universe had other plans!

 

Based on a recommendation from my accounting teacher, Mr. Matthews, I went on to become an Accountant and spent over 3 decades climbing the corporate ladder in the accounting and tax world.

In 1994, after the birth of my son, I

developed an autoimmune disease that would change my life.   I was placed on pain medication, steroids and told I would live a life taking medication daily and there was no cure.   

Something inside me knew there was another way.  I told my doctor I wanted to address my condition with lifestyle changes.  This was the moment that  my career in numbers merged with my love of nature. 

From that moment, I began my journey to understand how our lifestyle  impacts our health.  I truly believe the body is always trying to heal, and in the right environment it can!  What I learned along this journey lead to the the creation of  HOLX.  A holistic approach to wellness.  Everything is connected!
