What Connects Us


I learned from my oldest client (both chronologically and the one who has been with me the longest) today that a dear friend of hers, and a client she referred to me who I've been seeing for a couple of years, is near death. She's been living with a fatal blood disease for years now and had outlasted all the people in her support group. She decided to do everything she could to determine her own fate, not just through traditional medical treatment but holistic therapies, dietary strategies and a host of healthful lifestyle changes that she believed were the reasons she not only lived much longer than expected - but much better as well.


Up until recently she regularly worked out, traveled abroad once or twice a year, sang in her church choir and often flew out to Indiana to see and help take care of her five grand kids.


She has been a source of amazement and inspiration to me and will continue to be so as long as I'm around.


Thank you, Margaret. And God Bless You.
