Summary

Since the beginning of my official working carrier at the age of 16, I have worn several hats in and out of customer service, public service, and private self-employment. I have worked in coffee shops, at The Hyatt Regency Hotel as a hostess/ waitress/room service attendant, then as a business accountant for an Attorney service.

I married a Marine in 2003 and moved to the Mojave Desert where I began work with the Environmental Service at Marine Corps Base 29 Palms and then transitioned to training Marines in the field running ballistics and maintaining equipment on several ranges and convoy security courses.

Once having children, I transitioned again to a housewife/homeschool educator/co-leader of Holistic Moms Network/breastfeeding and holistic child raising educator. Once my husband retired from the Marine Corps, we bought a farm in rural Iowa and began Homesteading/Hobby farming. This is also where I began presenting and speaking at Homesteading Life Conferences as well as opening up my local Holistic Wellness business, teaching fermentation classes, and providing information on local resources in terms of food, health, and wellness. My main focus now is on Quantum Biology, Educating on the importance of Structured water, herbs, homeopathy, Nutrition, Environment, family and personal health.

I have spoken publicly at The Homesteading Life Conference, and the Homesteading Life Conference Women's retreat. I teach local classes regarding the works and nutritional implementation of Weston A. Price. I also promote and sell structured water units, speak on the importance of minerals to human, plant and animal health as well as teach vegetable and sourdough fermentation classes. All of this is also included in my monthly health coaching consultations.


Since 2020 I have been fascinated with the work of Dr. Cowan and have been learning and implementing his ideas into my everyday life as well as friends, clients and family. To work with Dr. Cowan's company directly would be an answer to my current prayers.
