Intro...??

I've been certified in herbal medicine & in aromatherapy for over 20 years now. Not sure exactly how long cuz my certificates are packed away. I have found they are quite useless down here in this neck of the woods because people generally run to the dr. very quickly down here when they are sick. If you try to educate them, they 'blow you off' & then run to the dr. for their quick fixes which are slowly damaging their bodies & immune systems. Not only do we use herbs & essential oils (e.o.), we also have done accu-pressure, reflexology, reiki & more. I wish I knew more about homeopathics, I think those are just fascinating, but I've used several of them as well. I've also been known to use Bach Flower Remedies, food therapy & Native American Herbology. I've got an abundance of reference materials & I always use at least 3 references before I decide on a given 'therapy'.

My love & knowledge for herbs started with some simple questions, then I became a sponge for the knowledge & when I had my own herbal bath/body biz, I took my knowledge one step further & took the courses needed to get certified! I got so addicted to it, I went on to get certified in aromatherapy as well, which is using powerful essential oils to improve one's health. Then, alas I had to sell the biz as we were moving on to bigger & better things, or so we thought. Anyway here I am & I found I didn't have much to say in a blog on a personal note...but I have lots to say on these subjects. If one person goes away with just one little tidbit of knowledge that helps them on their healing path. After all, isn't knowledge to be shared?!!

Years after selling my 1st biz, I started another small biz, basically for something to do & to help people. We left Oklahoma & came to Arizona to vacation & just never left. I love it here in Quartzsite and have yet started another biz that's been going great for over 5 yrs. now. I have found the main issue to getting customers is to provide them correct information to help them get well. You have to gain their trust and really really know what you are talking about!!! Don't just spout some blurb you have memorized....you gotta know your stuff!!! After all you are dealing with people's lives here & in so many cases the medical society has let them down & they just don't care about healing the people anymore, it's all about the almighty dollar sad to say.
