She is an educator, entrepreneur, author, international speaker, naturalist, world traveler and researcher. Her colleagues call her a "naturopathic renegade, and eclectic physician".

She is the first woman in history to travel to Antarctica with no supplies, did a polar plunge for charity, and attended the first silent disco there. She loves great conversations, deep and meaningful relationships, traveling, reading, puzzles, children, animals, and nature. It is her philosophy that the further our culture gets from nature, then the sicker we become.
