Herbal Medicine and Natural Supplement Consulting
When my daughter was born in Prescott, Arizona, 1995, I took a leave of absence from teaching at the colleges to be home with my children. During this time, I read Andrew Weil’s, “Spontaneous Healing,” which pretty much described me and my lifestyle and use of complementary and alternative medicines. I decided that when I returned to work, that it would be to promote natural medicine in this country. Because of my science background, and the government DSHEA, I was hired to author evidence-based reviews for both the public and medical professionals, on the safety, efficacy, dosage, side effects and drug interactions of herbal medicines and natural supplements.
Healthcare Reform
My interests include reforming America's healthcare system to be a free and universal healthcare which makes better use of preventative medicine, integrates alternative and complementary therapies, promotes home health visits, and allows for the freedom of informed choice.

“ I work in a large, complex, academic health system and my previous position was at a health plan. At the expense of the patient, too much emphasis is placed on cost control and financial health of the corporation. Spread the word about integrative medicine - I believe that this approach is the basis for keeping our population healthy.
