- Seeing the best way to health from any illness is through whole body health, not just treating the immediately affected organs and systems.

- I love to garden and am also a crafter, mainly sewing lately. i do some home repairs, maintenance and upgrades. I do some work on my car such as brakes and whatever other minor things it needs. I am also quite thrifty and love to find ways to re-purpose things. I am an active member of freecycle and madisonplants exchange group. I also am looking forward to being a member of the Sun Prairie horticultural society. I like to ride my bicycle and hope to make it my main form of transportation like it was in my early 20's, a few years ago. I grew up an active child, studying martial arts and racing BMX bicycles.
- Professional or business affiliations?
- My boyfriend is a wood floor installer and I am a waitress in an Italian restaurant, I hope to be in a new job soon.
