For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a doctor. It has always made me feel so good to help and support others, so I wanted to make a career of it. After high school I went on to take two years of Pre-Med courses, before changing course and enrolling in nursing school. I graduated from Ferris State University with my Bachelor’s in Nursing in 2012. Five months after graduation I gave birth to my first child, a little girl, and my whole world changed!

Just a short year after having our first daughter, my husband and I welcomed another sweet baby girl into our family. I was blessed with the opportunity to stay home and raise my girls, while working as an RN on and off. My number one job was being a mother, everything else followed. After having children, something deep inside me had changed. I no longer took the word of others. I wanted and needed to know every little detail about my children’s health. This included the best way to feed and nourish them, ways to love and guide them in a gentle manner, what things were safe for them, what wasn’t…and so much more. Sherlock Holmes had nothing on me!

As a nurse working in the medical field paired with the desire to do what was best for my children, I began to question the way we view health as a society. This led me searching for truth... After having my daughters, I enrolled in the Naturopathic Institute of Therapies and Education in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, where I am currently working on becoming a Certified Traditional Naturopath. I have now found answers to the questions that I was longing to find, I have found truth in naturopathy!

I had to deal with some heavy emotions as I gave up my title and job as a registered nurse. I put in seven long years towards college…just to throw it all away? That’s how it felt, but then I realized… If my eyes hadn’t been opened to the ways of conventional medicine, I wouldn’t be where I am at today.

Knowledge is power, and I am truly blessed to be exploring ways to heal myself and my family in a holistic manner. I now have four beautiful children, with my youngest two sons having been born in the comfort of our home. I thank my children and husband for leading me to where I am today. Each one of my children has brought to me numerous learning opportunities, which I will forever be grateful for. My husband has supported and stood behind me every step of the way, and he is an amazing father! I am also extremely blessed to have my mother join me on my mission to serve you, as she can be seen working in the store and will be available to answer any question you may have.

Throughout the last 6 years, I have slowly discovered what my true passion is. My family is embodying the natural health lifestyle, and we have recently purchased a farm as our newest endeavor. We are raising organic grass-fed beef, organic chickens and fresh organic produce while growing towards biodynamic farming. Sustainability is important to us and we could not be more excited to add this to our list of adventures!

I am on the most magnificent journey into natural health because of my children! I want nothing more than for them to be happy, healthy and to live fulfilling lives. I also want that for YOU, your families and our community. I look forward to serving you and your family while empowering you to love yourself and take charge of your health!
