I am excited to embark on a new career as a Holistic Nutritionist. Nutrition is something that got my attention when I was in my early 20’s and sadly that also happened in the early 1980’s when courses and programs such as this did not exist or at least not in the Universities that I attended. I completed the one nutrition course I found at Athabasca University and enjoyed that. Remember we are talking the 80’s, before the time of internet and cell phones etc, so if one existed I never found it!

So, 35 years later, here I am.  My current “career” as a contractor in home renovations just is not my passion and with the little time I have left on the planet I would like to do something more in line with what I enjoy. My youngest daughter “left the nest” a couple years ago now so I have time just for me.

About ten years ago now I became a practitioner for a hair analysis program and did this on a part-time basis for about 8 years. It just was not “my thing”, to be a coach using someone else’s food list and supplement program; I need more than that to be satisfied because I love problem solving and researching and coaching someone else’s program just did not excite me.

The last five years I have watched all kind of lectures on utube and every docuseries I could get my hands on as well as Dr. Mercola’s interviews and newsletters. Since this area was keeping my interest I decided it was time to get some formal education. I had spent 13 years as a full time student simply because I loved to learn, and received two BA’s out of that, decades ago, but I still had to overcome a little fear as to whether my brain still worked! I guess it does and here I am getting excited about putting all this information to good use. Loving every minute of it!!
