I just got back from the first of three conferences for advanced training with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. I am so glad to be in the field I am in. I love supporting others in developing habits of health and well being.

What a happy, healthy looking bunch of people! I am grateful to have this amazing peer group to grow alongside me.

It is clear to me that diet, lifestyle, mental attitude and physical fitness are the core of reversing, managing and preventing diabetes. The future of health is understanding that everything in our world is energy and that some things support life energy and other things diminish life energy.

Through my work as a diabetes health counselor and educator, I am devoted to honoring the memroy of my father. My father developed type I diabetes when he was 5 years old. 2 weeks after his 9 year old sister developed it. My father had a tough time of it. Dying at age 39, his short life presented me with a script of how not to tend to the body-mind-spirit.

My father experienced the “worst case scenario” of the diabetes experience. By the time I was 9 years old, my father was undergoing massive laser surgery to attempt to reverse retinopathy. By the time I was 12, he went through heart surgery, heart attack and was “legally blind.” The last 4 years of my fathers life, he went through constant agony and excrutiating pain. I vividly remember the amputation of his leg and the post op experience of crying for morphine.

This wasn;t the most pianful time in my life. That came for the two years after my father’s death where I spiraled down into sicknenss and depression with anger and confusion at the purpose of my father living such a hard life. But I thank God now for the pain I experienced and the invaluable lesson my father taught me.

Since my committment to help other people with diabetes, I have been blessed to have learned an amazing arsenal of tools and techniques for uplifting body mind and spirit and I am so glad to have the opportuntiy to serve people with this work.

You can improve your health.

You can change the direction of your life.

You can initiate a series of events that are nothing short of miraculous.

I know this to be true.
