Focusing on cleansing and nourishing the whole person. Shelly's passion is in preventative care with natural therapies .
"Before I became a Natural Healer , the life I lived was extremely destructive. I drank (excessively) , I smoked , I didn’t exercise and I wasn’t mindful on what was going inside of my body. It took me awhile to realize that in order to really be of service to others I had to work on myself. Slow but sure I started loving myself more . working on my mind , body and soul. So that I could be better for you . But always a work in progress .
Natural Living has allowed me to be able to live a life without prescription drugs and their harmful side effects . Living a natural lifestyle gave me the confidence to give birth to my son naturally at home , at the age of 40. For many years I didn’t think I could have children , I never took birth control . I know everything has its time But I believe when I became more disciplined on how I take care of myself and preparing to receive that’s when he was ready . Or should I say that’s when I was ready to receive him.
During the course of practice I began to notice a common denominator amongst my clients , as well as America. That the majority of dis-eases that plague America are all preventable with proper nutrition and exercise. I had always believed if you give the body what it needs it will heal itself. I didn't realize how true that was until I began my studies to become a Master Herbalist ,over a decade ago. Although , this truth was revealing itself to me long before my studies began."
