Bachelor of Science Degree & Practitioner Certifications

Heliotherapy: A Return to Safe Sunbathing for the Reversal and Prevention of Human Diseases was my thesis at the University of Natural Health. You can read a summary here.

I began my studies in this program in 2008. The program at the time was an old-school correspondence style with books, pencil, and paper. It was self-study which is a double-sided situation: you can take your time, studying and testing when you can, but there are also no external deadlines to keep you moving along. You must be motivated & self-disciplined!

I moved myself along…slowly…while building my massage practice, my nutritional coaching practice, and working for my daughter’s school, all while taking good care of my family. I graduated in 2013.

My studies profoundly changed my life. The textbooks used in the program literally transformed the way I eat, the way I think about food, and the way I understand nutrition. The University of Natural Health bases its programs on the philosophies of Natural Hygiene.

With each textbook I would implement new techniques into my family’s eating patterns and it would take time to adjust. Some new ideas stuck, others fell by the wayside. However I can say with conviction that we are all healthier now than we were in 2008 because of my studies with UNH. My struggles with food began way back in 1983.

I also received two certifications with my BS degree. With these I will continue to help others find health freedom & understanding of optimal nutrition by providing online food courses and community outreach.
