She owns Bubble & Bee Organic and recently became a first-time mom at 42.

Your Symptoms Hold Great Wisdom
01/19/2024

Most of us have spent our lives learning how to suppress our symptoms

Have a headache? Take some tylenol

Cramps? Here's some Midol.

Constipated? Here's a laxative

Heartburn? Take a tums

Tired? Grab some caffeine

A Healthcare Wrapped in Kindness & Possibilities

08/08/2023

Welcome to season 3 - a bit of a reintroduction episode for those new to the Wellness Restoration Project and my reason for creating this space full of resources.

That healthcare model requires kindness on its journey, but it is wrapped in possibilities.
