Who Am I

Intro

I specialize in working with clients who are open to alternative methods of health and who are committed to educating themselves. My travels to Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and Asia have ignited a passion for learning of the philosophies of medicine that are very different from my upbringing. I earned my title as a Registered Aromatherapist studying complementary and alternative medicine at the American College of Healthcare Sciences and sitting for the Aromatherapy Registration Council's exam in April 2016. In June of 2012 I began my quest to become a Certified Professional Midwife and trained as a birth doula with the amazing Debbie Lavin of Doula Space. In September of 2013 I began my didactic work at the Midwives College of Utah to earn the degree of Bachelor of Science in Midwifery (BSM). My life’s passion is to serve in any capacity that presents itself. I have sought to lead a life of Christian humility. Diplomatic to the core, my life has been devoted to Family, God and Country. As I strive to “stand in the office which I have [been] appointed…; succor the weak, lift up the hands which hang down, and strengthen the feeble knees” (Doctrine & Covenants 81:5) I hope to one day hear the beloved words, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant:… enter thou into the joy of thy lord” (Matthew 25:21).
