Why did I choose Nikken as the company to join, to add my name to as a "consultant"? Simply because Nikken defines and simplifies wellness. There are a gazillion MLM companies out there. You know most of them. Many have great products, great people and decent compensation plans.
But the heart of Nikken is nothing like any other company I have ever seen. Period. Believe me, I did my due diligence researching, reading all the "anti" Nikken, "anti" MLM stuff. I weighed all of that against the people I met in Nikken, the research and development the company invests in, the philosophy behind the products...and the heart...the heart of Nikken...and my heart.
There is just not another company out there that offers what Nikken can offer. Life-changing, get-someone-up-off-their-bed, real "make a difference" opportunity. And that was what I realized I wanted my life to be about. If I only help one person, then it's enough. Simply put.

Why I Do What I Do
I get asked frequently "why" I do what I do...get on a soapbox about health and wellness. From my personal challenge with Crohn's as well as other health issues, including caring for ailing pets with various illnesses, I have done a lot of research. I've experimented with various "diets", products, supplements, herbs and treatments.
What I have found is that wellness is about 50% mental attitude and 50% "physical" stuff. There is a lot of that "stuff" out there! My decision to become a Wellness Coach & Consultant with Nikken about 12 years ago was mainly so I could purchase products at a discount. Now I am on a mission. My goal is to share what I have learned, share what Nikken has to offer and help others achieve true wellness in their lives.
About Nikken: Originally from Japan, this world-wide company is now in it's 35th year. That alone is saying something. It has a top-rating financially and the products can be life-changing for the good. But beyond that, there is training second-to-none. And it's not all "biz" training either. If you know anything about Nikken, you know the products sell themselves. I am not a salesperson. But what I have learned about the quality of the water we drink, the air we breathe and the sleep we get is life-altering.
The purpose of this blog is two-fold. First is to share from my knowledge and experience any information or recommendations for various health concerns or questions you might have. This includes athletic injuries (I consider myself an avid athlete, having competed for many years as a runner & softball player as well as coached many sports and trained many young athletes), age-related health concerns specific to women (believe me, those hormones begin to change a lot younger than when you "feel" it!), bone health for both men and women and all ages, and dog wellness (I've had two go through different cancers, one with Cushing's) and some dog training (that's just a side note!)
So post your questions! I'll see what I have to offer.

Down the Road
But here's the deal. I have come to realize a significant purpose for my life. It has to do with what became perhaps the greatest challenge I've ever experienced and one I never in my wildest dreams imagined I would face. A chronic, debilitating and nearly deadly disease. Crohn's disease was an unknown to me when it knocked me right out of my life. For someone who has lived a very active, outdoorsy, sporty, fun, on the go life...it sucked.
In the past 10+ years I've learned a lot about dealing with medical professionals, how to take responsibility for and manage my own health, sifted through a TON of "stuff" from products to the next greatest "cure", including heavy-hitter prescription drugs. I've given up hope and got it back again. I've wandered down the lonely road of isolation from a long-term illness that impacted every aspect of my life..and I mean EVERY aspect.
And I've found hope in changing my lifestyle, changing my habits, changing my mindset. I've discovered technologies and natural, alternative medical practices that have truly made a difference. And I am well today. So if you or someone you love is struggling with a health challenge, visit me often. Post comments and your questions. Maybe I've been down a road you don't need to go down and have something to share. If what I have to offer makes a positive difference, then I have accomplished my purpose.
