ABOUT

In 2021 I began the training with the Klinghardt Institute in Sussex, England and in April of 2024 I was certified as a Foundation Level A.R.T. Practitioner.

I have been practicing A.R.T. for three years and have been researching and experimenting with holistic healing for over 25 years. I started with research on nutrition, food sensitivities and gut healing in 2001, after my third child was born. I am a very experienced cook/baker and have been making most things from scratch to avoid unwanted ingredients such as seed oils and other bad fats, glyphosate and preservatives. It is complicated to know what foods are healthy to eat and how to prepare them in a healthy way. I have been making bone broths and baking sourdough bread with Einkorn (ancient wheat) for 15 years.

 

In 2008 my son and I got very sick with Lyme Disease. We saw top Lyme-literate doctors as well as holistic practitioners and I read every book on Lyme, Bartonella, and Babesia as well as on other aspects of healing.  I did a deep dive into Lyme and other hidden infections, energy medicine, biological dentistry, gut healing and detoxification.  I learned a lot from the practitioners we saw including Dr. Charles Ray Jones who treated the first kids with Lyme Disease in New Haven, CT back in the 1970s. We also saw numerous integrative Lyme MD's, biological dentists and other healers and that is when I was first exposed to "muscle testing"and the work of Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD.  Initially, the idea of pressing on one's arm to test for things seemed very strange, but I came to depend on this type of testing because it gave us great information. It was obvious to me that many of the doctors, holistic dentists and other practitioners had enormous respect for Dr. Klinghardt's work.

​

Even though our experience with Lyme Disease seemed like a nightmare at the time, it really was a blessing in many ways. We fully recovered and became even healthier as a result. In the process, I was amazed by what I was learning about hidden infections, toxins and natural healing. After I read all the Lyme books I could find, I started reading about other issues such as cancer, autism, ADD, and PANDAS. I found it so interesting and also empowering to know that there are so many common denominators and approaches to healing these seemingly diverse issues.  By identifying and treating hidden infections and toxins as well as addressing environmental, energetic and emotional stressors, clients can focus on the changes that really matter and dramatically improve their health and vitality.

 

Over the years I coached many parents who came to me asking for help with their kids' mystery symptoms. I really empathized with them because it is overwhelming when your child is sick and you don't know what is wrong. I realized that so many of them had no idea about nutrition, allergies, hidden infections and toxins. They did not know where to start. Often their kids were taking pharmaceutical drugs to suppress symptoms but they were not fixing the underlying issue or cause. I always encouraged them to get their child muscle-tested because it can reveal information regular lab work will not show. Finding someone who could do the testing for them was not easy and this lead me to pursue becoming a practitioner. 

​

We never know what we will find with Autonomic Response Testing (A.R.T.) No two people are the same!  There is a dizzying amount of information on nutrition and what supplements to take to stay healthy. ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL. Detoxification is important but is a tricky and a complicated process. I follow all of Dr. Klinghardt's protocols which are based on his 45 years of research and clinical experience. I have a special interest in all spike protein-related detox issues, which, like Lyme Disease, can slowly zap your health.
