B.A.S.M., Master Herbalist

For the past 10 years I have been educating patients on the use of home remedies as a means of a natural alternative to feel better. In exploring the possibilities of herbal remedies you learn not only why you are not feeling well but gain a positive effect by having the control of preparing your own remedies; when purchasing an Herbal Blend the ingredients become much more than a list of words, it becomes an empowerment “I am responsible for my health”.
I counsel cancer patients, and am a cancer survivor myself. I help Hospice patients and their families with understanding the process of serious illness. Additionally, I am a trained Grief counselor and work in Disaster Response for Animals as well as humans.
I have devoted my life to healing in one form or another. I began my Medical Career in Allopathic Medicine working in Laboratory and Pathology Medicine for 15 years. Twelve years ago I began studying in Natural Medicine. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Alternative Scientific Medicine, and one year additional concentrated study in Phytochemical and Botanical Medicine. I have completed the Certification Course as Master Herbalist through the East West School of Herbology. I am currently completing my Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine through Clayton College of Natural Medicine.
I continue to expand my studies in the field of Herbal Medicine working side by side with some of the best that Herbal Medicine has to offer. I will be studying Holistic Cancer Research with other Allopathic and Natural physicians, with a focus on environmental pollutants like mold toxicity through June 10, 2006.
Our world has become a complex one, the notion of “Tell me where it hurts” no longer holds much meaning. Holistic medicine addresses your entire being physically, mentally and spiritually; no longer do we need to settle for fixing “where it hurts” together we can care for the Whole Person you are.
