My journey into holistic health and wellness was inspired by my own health journey as a cancer survivor. While I survived the cancer and the tumor was gone, the chemo took care of everything health-wise but diminished my health in other ways - I couldn't sleep, I was walking with a cane, I was in a wheelchair. In the beginning, I was a young senior, and it just diminished my whole health where I wasn't in the gym anymore. For four years after cancer, I was in constant pain, in a wheelchair, on a walker, on a cane. There was a time that I fell and broke both arms - it was not a good four years. But for the past four years with holistic products, it's been excellent. Now I am in the gym five days a week at 5:30 in the morning, I'm climbing mountains, I'm riding my bicycle, doing all things that I was doing before. I work with Partner Co, and what I do professionally is talk to people all day long. I do a lot of posting on social media, and I get people to call me. I just find out what their needs are and help them. I make sure that I'm being seen, I go to women's expos to make sure my name is out there. A lot of the people that call me are cancer survivors, and I help them understand that while I'll never tell them not to do what their doctor tells them to do, I've got products that can help with the immune system as you're going through chemo, because you want to keep your immune system up. I have a bachelor's degree from Columbia Southern University in occupational health and safety, and I'm currently working with someone to write a book about my journey.
