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.
