MINDFUL MEDICINE GIRL, LLC
RUSKIN, FLORIDA

Let me get the educational details out of the way first and quickly! I started my career by attending pharmacy school in Ohio. Any O-H fans out there?!? Yes, I am a midwestern girl! While working towards my pharmacist degree, I took as many electives as I could in medicinal plants. These electives were some of my favorite classes especially since they were OUTSIDE! I finished my degree and practiced as a hospital pharmacist. I have worked with every age of patient in my career, from pediatric to geriatric, and have helped care for patients that present with common ailments to rare medical conditions. I also have a Master’s Degree in Business Administration. I have a variety of certifications in leadership, health care software, and quality and safety. Currently, I am an active licensed pharmacist in good standing in two states. I have and continue to be a guest speaker for the areas that I am considered an expert in on a regular basis, such as pharmacy, pediatric healthcare IT development, and innovation. So I lost all the weight and slowly changed my life, brought it back into balance. Let me be clear. I lost the weight myself and it took me 10 years to get off all the medications but one that I continue to take today. It was a process. There was no magic bullet. In this process, I began to look at how I could treat common ailments, etc without going to the doctor for a pill. Being a researcher at heart, I would use conventional medicine journals, libraries, etc to find information regarding more natural treatment options. I would decide on a treatment that fit my belief system. If a natural treatment seemed legitimate and effective after analysis and research, I would opt for this over conventional therapy, and would work with my medical provider to exercise alternate therapies to cure common problems. Many times, but not always, I had success. So, I began on this journey of living what I call a “minimalist medication lifestyle.” And that is what this site is really all about. Unfortunately, we are taught that we have to think of conventional and natural medicine as opposing forces. You have to choose one treatment or the other. It’s either black or white, good or bad. I like to give a vivid image to keep the concept in your mind. Let me ask you this. What if, maybe, just maybe, it’s really up to you as the patient. Maybe there are a host of combinations that conventional and natural treatments can be used. Maybe they can work together, be synergistic if you will. Maybe you, along with your provider’s counsel, can decide what treatment is best for you or any combination of the two depending on the situation. What if conventional and natural medicine looked like this: That’s my goal for this site! It’s as simple as that! Let’s start by thinking that there is validity to both beliefs and lifestyles. That there is opportunity for both in your life to improve your health and your wellness. My goal is to provide you well-researched information regarding natural medicines and treatment. Because, let’s face it, there is a lot of bogus information out there. I will provide you with written and video education pieces on different topics. I will also provide you information on the best products on the market. I’ll give you some of my own life experiences and, believe me, I’ve had many when it comes to this topic. There’s even an opportunity to meet one-on-one and discuss different options. As always, this is not a replacement for seeing, discussing, or consulting your medical provider regarding any condition that you may have. I’ll cover topics from simple medical issues to ways you can simply remove some chemicals from your house. There’s something here for everyone! Come join me! One of the biggest lessons that life has taught me, is no matter what, there is always the opportunity to learn. And I love it! There’s no timeline. Changing your life is a process. I’m still doing that on a daily basis as I learn more. Let’s be partners on this journey to make small steps that can drastically improve your life. Let me help you reach your wellness goals – one step, one change, one new idea, at a time. Let me get the educational details out of the way first and quickly!
