I was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska. I have an amazing family –my husband,
3 children and a dog. I am lucky to be so blessed with all their love and support because
without them the East West School would not be possible. I have been using herbs for about
14 years and have had wonderful results. I am passionate with helping others get to the most
optimum health. I am currently a dental hygienist and have been practicing for 20 years. It
is a great feeling knowing that I am helping people with their oral health but would love to
help them even more.
I started to use herbs 14 years ago when my husband and I wanted to start to have a
family. We had tried for several months then my doctor told me I had endometriosis. I
thought that I would never be able to have children. I went to a local health food store for
help. The employee, Nicholas Schnell working there was very knowledgeable and helped
ease my concerns. He helped me figure out the right herbs to take and shortly after that I got
pregnant. I was convinced that natural/alternative medicine was for me to follow from that
point on. I just wanted to keep learning.
I started East West School in November 2011. I have been enjoying my studies with
the TCM lessons and books that come along with the program. In May 2012 after I went to
the East West seminar I started to take a class once a week at Four Winds Natural Healing
Center. The teacher is the same employee at the health food store when I was looking for
help with my health– Nicholas Schnell. He is also a graduate from East West. Nicholas has
provided me with so much helpful information to help me through the East West course. I
have been so fortunate to have this opportunity and have met so many new friends.
I enjoy doing yoga, meditation, kayaking, walking and biking. We have a cabin and
love to escape to this beautiful atmosphere. We just enjoy being close to nature and getting
away from our busy lives. I am hoping to fulfill my dreams of becoming an herbalist and
continue to help family and friends. Hopefully someday I will have my own healing center.
