I was born and raised in Central Massachusetts and that is where I still reside today. However, I am looking to get to somewhere with winters that are not so long and cold. I am married and we have six children and thirteen grandchildren.

I’ve been driving a school bus for the last 28 years, give or take. Some days I love it and swear I will never give it up. Other days I loathe it and am more than ready to turn in my keys for good.
After earning an Associate Degree in Complementary Health I decided the time had come for me to follow a more natural health path. Frustrated with the state of the allopathic medical system, I began looking at my own health from a holistic perspective. The last ten years have been a journey deep into the rabbit hole of pharmaceutical and medical half-truths that has made me question everything that I thought I knew.
I am currently working toward becoming a certified aromatherapist. I love creating blends for room sprays, personal inhalers, or natural skincare and perfumes. I am excited to be launching a business soon.
While stuck home during the covid shutdowns I also stuck my toes into the water of herbalism. What a huge difference this has made in my life. I now grow a lot of my herbs. I make tinctures, glycerites, salves, and teas to help keep me balanced and well.
I also love growing our fruits and vegetables, making my own bread, canning, dehydrating, and fermenting food. I will soon be a crazy chicken lady.
