It’s always a little exciting as one decides to make changes so bare with me as I figure things out. And, to keep everyone in the loop, I’ve decided to write a few posts so everyone can follow along.
My life has recently been undergoing a lot of changes and I’d like to share a few of those with you. But first I’d like to share my journey with you.
My passion has always been to help people. It all started out when I was in high school and did a career aptitude test as part of a personal finance class. The results came in from the test and I decided to check out a career as a pharmacist. It looked like a glorious idea. I’d be making lots of money and helping people manage their medications. So, I shadowed a pharmacist, did my report and decided to get a part-time job at a local grocer. I enjoyed helping people and learning about the mediations.
Next, I applied to pharmacy school. I only applied to one and was accepted straight out of high school. I also got a job at the local Veterans Administration Hospital. This was an amazing opportunity to be exposed to a different mode of pharmacy. I enjoyed learning about making IV’s and the way the hospital system worked. Unfortunately, the inability to transfer from one location to the next was a let down. So, on to the next place.
That summer, I was bagging groceries at the local grocer as there was a miscommunication with the pharmacy manager, thankfully, one of the pharmacists had a contact with another pharmacy and was able to help me get a job in another pharmacy. This pharmacy was great. I was able to work at many locations and still come home for the summer and vacations.
I learned a lot working for this company and was able to move up into management after I graduated. This company was good to me but I was starting to have some issues with the things I was seeing. One of those issues was the number of children on ADHD and psychiatric medications. The other was noticing how people seemed to abuse/over-use anti-anxiety and pain meds. (For more information on the Truth About Drugs, click here.) I couldn’t identify what it was about all of this that bothered me except that I knew it didn’t sit right with me.
So, we moved to St. Louis to pursue different opportunities. The first job I had, was a disaster but that is not for this post. The second job I found was great. I worked 9-5 with flexibility and didn’t have to interact with customers on a regular basis.
In the midst of all of this, I became a patient of Nutrition Response Testing. And had my light bulb moment. The chiropractor I was seeing was actually helping people get better with this method. I wasn’t, as a pharmacist. I decided then and there that this is what I wanted to do. I wanted to help people get better safely and naturally.
Ulan Nutritional Systems was coming to St. Louis to do a Basic workshop and I couldn’t wait. February 2010 rolled around and I was pumped to learn the new system. I attended the workshop, bought my kits to get started and signed up for the next two workshops. Each time I went to Florida, I was a little more inspired and a lot more excited. While attending a workshop, I was introduced to an organization called CCHR – Citizens Commission on Human Rights. Let’s just say this organization was an eye opener for me. It helped put a name and a reason to my dislike of the above mentioned pharmaceuticals.
It didn’t take long for me to sign-up for the Advanced Training. I’m a want to know it all kind of person so I continued my training as Nutrition Response Testing practitioner. I was also pregnant with my first child. I figured if I hurried up and built my business, I would be good to go. So I worked it and worked it. I thought I would be able to take a short maternity leave and continue to build my practice and reach hundreds of families. Let’s just say, love took me a different way.
Birthing my child was the most amazing and eye opening experiences of my life. The wonders of the human body where displayed right before my very eyes and my body helped to build this little bundle of joy. My heart swelled and I was overtaken with the love and desire to protect him and raise him. Unfortunately, the nutrition practice didn’t get the attention it deserved and didn’t grow as I had planned.
So, I had to restructure again and figure out what was best for my family. Come forward a few months further and I realized a lot had to be changed to create the life I desired for my child. So, the last 8 months have been a whirlwind as I try to create the life for my child that I have always envisioned. I’m thankful I have the ability and guidance to make my dreams become a reality. The how-t0 of the dream has changed but never the ultimate goal. Which brings me to my current change.
I have decided to dedicate the next few years of my life to learning a most awesome gift, giving back and making amends for the past for the future of our civilization. I am dedicating a great portion of my existence to the Church and to helping others on a path to spiritual freedom.
In order to fit everything in, I am changing my schedule. I will still see clients but it will be in the evenings and on the weekends. I can’t let the first passion go but am growing to fit in more. Now is a good time in my life to allow for this spiritual expansion.
I ask that you stick with me and help me help as many families as I can. I’ve also recently been able to narrow down who I REALLY want to help. I’ve always wanted to help the children and specifically those who have the largest need.
Who are these kids?
These are the kids affected by ADHD, Allergies and Autism. Why this group of kids? Because these children have the most to gain from what I do. They are the one’s that the medical community has the hardest time addressing and actually getting better. For ADHD-take Ritalin or Adderall. For Allergies-here is your rescue inhaler, that doesn’t control your symptoms? Let’s add a steroid or other long-acting inhaler. Autism-let’s put you on this medication to help control your outbursts.
I am not satisfied with the way the typical treatment for these conditions progress. I want to help these families find answers. Answers that the body contains but need to be unlocked.
Is what I do for everyone? NO, but for those who are open to an alternative approach, it can open the door to an amazing journey.
Thank you for helping me continue to give back to the world around me.
Stay tuned for further updates.
