As an entrepreneur of restaurants (Subway and Papa Murphy's) getting into Natural Health was never on my radar. It was when in one year my son and best friends both became very sick. My son, Lyme Disease, and my best friend stage 2 breast cancer.
I put on my research cap and went to town day and night trying to figure out solutions for them and realizing an entirely different world of what we are taught health is. Surgery and drugs are all I really knew. Luckily I had friends who were chiropractors and my mom had started to take supplements to help some of her symptoms. So I wasn't completely in the dark.
Through these trying times, I decided to go back to school and study nutrition, natural health, digestive health, and energy modalities to name a few. Then it was suggested I go back to school to become a Naturopathic Doctor. After 3 years I joined forces with some amazing women to open the Hopewell Healing Center. Ideal Self Today now works out of that healing center.
Our services have been dictated by the need of our clients and patients. Digestive and weight issues are the highest priorities, then sleep and thyroid/adrenal problems and then there is cellulite, skin problems, and foggy brain. I specialize in digestive health and weight loss using natural healing modalities. With the over-site of our Medical Director, we were able to bring the i-Lipo and i-Lipo Ultra for fat and cellulite reduction. This is so exciting for me.
I am so blessed to be able to serve people who want to better their health naturally. Too many people jump to the quick fix of medication but that will not solve the underlying problem. You must supplement your diets even if they are good! Our food does not offer the needed nutrients. Don't believe me? Just look around. How many children's hospitals were there in 1980? How many people did you know with cancer in 1980? In 1980 did you know what diabetes was or know anyone who had "it"? Since the 1980s regulation has made it so easy for marketers and drug companies to misinform us. Medications serve a purpose but they are not the cure! Our goal is to support our clients' needs through nutrition, diet, emotional and physical means!
Now at Green Berry Smoothies, I look forward to bringing all of these experiences together under one roof as we bring all-natural, healthy food choices together with educating the public on Health, Fitness, and Nutrition.
