My Story

While on vacation in 2005, I started experiencing shortness of breath and was admitted to the hospital.  After a series of tests I was diagnosed with Heart failure.  In a state of shock and disbelief, I told the doctor his tests must be wrong, after all I was only 59 years old!  He assured me without question that my heart was failing and the cause was most likely viral in nature.  He went on to say that, with few exceptions, this condition was incurable, but with prescription medications and a drastic change in lifestyle I could possibly delay the inevitable.  
 
I quickly returned to Canada and followed his medical advice by making appointments with my family physician and cardiologists who, in turn, got me started on prescription medications that would hopefully stabilize my condition.  With the prognosis sounding so bleak, I decided to start researching alternative healing therapies.  
 
After much research and conferring with a naturopathic physician, I decided to start a program of natural herbal supplements which I began in 2006. The main regimen I decided on was Hawthorn berries, CoQ10 and trace minerals.  There were other things that I used as well but these were the mainframe of my plan.  My research and personal experience have taught me that there is a huge difference in the quality of supplements and herbs and I highly recommend that you are very discerning in your purchase of these items.  
 
After taking these supplements for a period of time, I noticed an increase in my energy and feeling of wellness and was scheduled for an echocardiogram which showed a good improvement in the ejection fraction of my heart.  Needless to say I was elated and felt a renewal of my zest for life.  This news spurred me on to learn even more about not only the physical healing but also spiritual and emotional as well.  I read about the healing capacity of energy work and decided to delve into the different forms of it.  I became a certified Quantum Touch Healer and have a daily practise of Meditation and QiGong. In 2010, I studied Cranio Sacral Reflexology under Dr. Martine-Alderson D.O. of France.  

The importance of nutrition in regards to not only heart disease, but our overall health and well being cannot be understated.  I have always been attracted to the the idea of you are what you eat and in recent years have continued to study nutrition.  In 2009, I obtained my diploma for Nutritional Counselling from Trinity College of Natural Medicine and became a Lifestyle and Nutritional Coach.  Over the years I have tried many variations of Healthful diets, including vegetarian, High fruit and fibre, food combining, no starch/no sugar, and a Raw vegan diet.  They were all good but I felt I wanted to take parts of all of them and customize one for myself that would work for all people.  I knew that I felt better and enjoyed much more energy when I ate raw foods.  Today, I continue to eat the majority of my food raw because it provides all the live enzymes and nutrients that cooking destroys and I am  enjoying fantastic energy and good health and a total weight loss to date of 62 pounds.  I also include a simple daily regimen of exercise which is usually QiGong or a walking program. My health continues to improve and I am thankful for each new day.  
 
I continue to enjoy learning and intuitively listening to my body to guide me in my knowledge seeking and healing alternatives so that I can pass this on, to you, my readers.  Some of my most recent endeavours include studying to become a Chartered Herbalist at Dominion College of Herbology and opening a private practise called Full Circle Health and Nutrition to help others heal and find balance and wellness in their lives.     
 
As a result of my journey, I enjoy the blessing of good health today and am thrilled to report that my most recent echocardiogram had a report of "normal range" WOW!!!   I start each new day with an attitude of gratitude and I feel younger every day.  I am forever grateful for my healing and strive to help others on their journeys to health and wellness.  
 
Remember, it is not what you gather but what you scatter that tells what kind of a life you have lived.
