Me
Throughout my nursing career, I have been instrumental in the creation of several innovative integrative health programs. A few are Hospice of Mercy, COMMIT-A National Quit Smoking Trial, Iowa Hospice Organization, Iowa Breast Cancer Action Coalition, The St. Luke’s Clown Connection; a pastoral care ministry, and St. Luke’s Women’s Care. St. Luke’s Women’s Care was recognized nationally as an innovative integrated health center for the midlife woman. I also managed and promoted Hospice of Mercy and Women’s Care and provided over 500 presentations and workshops locally, nationally, and regionally.
I am a writer, columnist and author who just published my first book, Help Healing Happen - A Holistic Guide to Redefining Health, Hope & Healing, which is currently in the process of being sent to book sellers and distributors.
Over the past four years, I returned to an old love, hospice care, and worked as a Community Educator for Covenant Hospice, Niceville, Florida, and Alive Hospice Nashville, Tennessee. I also maintain a private spiritual coaching practice, act as CEO of Health Education Resources and Services, HERS, a company providing holistic/integrated health information and programming to businesses, corporations, the community, and health organizations.
I was educated as a Registered Nurse and certified as a holistic nurse. I am a natural intuitive and have been certified as a Healing Touch Practitioner, an Usui Reiki Master Teacher and Karuna Reiki© Master Teacher.
I have dedicated my nursing career to bridging the gap between conventional and complementary health and medicine.
