One of my bridal shots - Bell Photo Art
I am a former High School English teacher, who turned to natural methods to solve my own life-altering health issues. I am now pursuing a doctorate degree in Natural Medicine with Trinity College of Natural Medicine, and working as a health journalist and customer consultant at Main Street Natural Foods Market in my hometown of Blytheville, Arkansas.
I have been happily married to a police officer for almost two years, and am the mother to one lhaso-poo named Ellie. Having seen the effectiveness and wholesomeness of the natural approach to wellness, I consider it not only a career but a passion.
