Holistic Approach Transforms Acne Treatment Journey
For years, I struggled with persistent acne and went the traditional route - dermatologist visits, topical creams, antibiotics, you name it. Everything was focused on treating what was showing up on my skin, but nothing was really working long-term. I'd see temporary improvements, then the issues would come right back.
When I finally turned to alternative medicine, it completely changed how I understood my body. Instead of just addressing the surface symptoms, I started learning about gut health, food sensitivities, and how everything in our bodies is connected. That journey led me to discover I had a dairy sensitivity I never knew about, and I ended up doing a complete detox and changing my entire diet.
What struck me most was how much I had to become an active participant in my own healing. I couldn't just take a pill and hope for the best - I had to really understand what was happening in my body, track how different foods affected me, and make some pretty significant lifestyle changes. It required patience because there wasn't an instant fix, but the results were so much more lasting.
This experience completely shifted my approach to healthcare. Instead of waiting until something goes wrong and then seeking external fixes, I became much more preventative and proactive. I started paying attention to early warning signs my body gives me, educating myself about nutrition and wellness, and taking responsibility for my daily choices that impact my health.
The biggest change is that I now see myself as the primary person responsible for my wellbeing, with healthcare professionals as valuable partners rather than the sole authorities. That shift has been incredibly empowering - I feel much more in tune with my body and confident in making decisions about my health.
Quantum Time Release Heals Emotional Wounds
From Triggered to Transformed: How Quantum Time Release Gave Me My Power Back
For years, I thought healing had to be hard.
As a woman who had survived divorce, betrayal, and burnout, I believed that the only way to feel better was to talk it out endlessly. To rehash every painful memory and wait for the "aha" moment to arrive.
It never did.
Instead, I remained stuck. I knew my patterns, but I couldn't shift them. And that disconnection between what I intellectually understood and how I actually felt kept me trapped in emotional exhaustion.
Everything changed when I discovered Quantum Time Release.
QTR is a trauma-informed alternative healing process that helps clear stored emotional energy from the subconscious mind without reliving the original trauma. Using a blend of neuro-linguistic programming, energetic release, and subconscious re-patterning, it helps you let go of anger, grief, shame, fear, and guilt at the root.
Not just in theory. In the body.
One of my clients, a powerhouse woman in her early 50s, came to me during menopause. She was successful, active, and emotionally intelligent, but couldn't seem to release the extra 25 pounds her body was holding onto. Diets didn't work. Exercise left her depleted. Her doctor had just prescribed blood pressure medication.
But I could sense it wasn't just about food or hormones. Her body was holding emotional weight. Years of people-pleasing, suppressed resentment, heartbreak, and survival-mode living.
We began using Quantum Time Release to clear the emotional charge behind her symptoms.
Within weeks, she felt lighter. Not just physically but energetically.
Within months, she dropped the weight without punishing her body.
She stopped taking her medication.
She felt vibrant, sexy, and alive.
She fell in love again.
That's what happens when your nervous system receives the signal that it's safe to let go.
Quantum Time Release changed everything about how I approach health. For myself and my clients. I no longer outsource my healing. I listen to my body, I work with my subconscious, and I trust the wisdom beneath the surface.
Western medicine has its place. But sometimes, what we truly need isn't another prescription. It's permission to feel, release, and finally return home to ourselves.

Functional Medicine Uncovers Root Health Causes
Functional medicine lab testing revolutionized my understanding of root causes versus symptom management. Traditional medicine taught me to treat high blood pressure with medication; functional testing revealed my elevated homocysteine and methylation defects were the real culprits. This shift from "managing disease" to "optimizing function" completely changed how I practice direct primary care. Instead of just prescribing, I now investigate underlying imbalances—nutrient deficiencies, gut health, and hormone optimization. The empowerment comes from having actionable data that patients can actually influence through lifestyle changes. My approach shifted from reactive sick care to proactive health optimization. Patients love seeing their inflammatory markers drop through targeted nutrition rather than just adding another pill. When you address root causes instead of masking symptoms, healing becomes sustainable. That's how care is brought back to patients.
CONTROL System Empowers Personal Wellness Transformation
As a CONTROL System practitioner, I have made numerous changes to my own health and well-being since I qualified in early 2022. Firstly, I stopped taking a sleeping pill every night because I learned how to 'power down' my subconscious mind before bed. Then, I reviewed my eating habits and stopped the mindless munching on biscuits and chocolate. Do I miss it? Nope.
The biggest change came next - I stopped smoking overnight after a 50-year, 20-a-day habit. If only I'd known how easy it was! Other changes have been more subtle but no less powerful - I rarely get angry, I listen to what my mind is telling me, and I wake up every morning very happy to be me.
Oh, and I've found that my subconscious is very good at word puzzles!
Natural Living Enhances Home and Health
My interest in natural living began about a decade ago when my husband and I began having conversations about ways to change our home environment and lifestyle. He had always had eczema, and I have a family history of cancer, so we got rid of cleaning supplies with chemicals and began replacing traditional toiletries with either natural ones or products that at least didn't include the most harmful chemicals identified as the "dirty dozen." This approach evolved into seeking alternative medical approaches as well, whether it was using essential oils to treat various health issues or using naturally occurring items over OTC medicines, like ginger to calm an upset stomach or taking elderberry syrup to increase immunity.
I still go to my traditional Western medical doctor and will still use OTC or prescription medications. But I've learned that there are often natural options that perform just as well, if not better, than traditional medicines, and when I can opt to use something natural, I will.
Mindfulness Meditation Promotes Proactive Healthcare Approach
Mindfulness as Medicine: Taking Charge of Health
The use of mindfulness meditation, one of the pillars of alternative medicine, has ushered in a new era in my stress management efforts and overall well-being. It has provided a low-barrier, daily form of connection with my body and my state of mind.
This change prompted me to think of health in a proactive way rather than a defensive one. Instead of waiting until symptoms appeared, I started paying attention to the initial signals of disease, such as fatigue, irritability, or headaches, and dealing with them holistically.
Consequently, my perception of healthcare has changed, as I now see it as a combination of lifestyle and clinical care. This approach can be implemented by empowering patients with preventive measures such as breathing exercises or low-impact physical activities, which can fruitfully augment conventional therapy.
