About

I am an author, coach, and speaker.

I have always been interested in how people heal. My father was hit by a car when I was four years old. They saved his life, but he became a life-long patient, dying of cancer when he was sixty years old. I was not impressed by how he fared under the traditional medical model. My mother’s death preceded his by two years, also of cancer. I became a Registered Nurse because although it was too late to help my own parents, I hoped I could help spare others from going through what they did. Because as time went on, I realized this simple truth: The traditional medical model was more interested in keeping people sick than helping them heal. 

My philosophy is simple:

1. First, do no harm.
2. Question everything!
3. Trust yourself first.
