Normally I would not share something so personal here; I simply feel it is very important for one of you today to have this information today. 20 years ago I was dying. ..My heart was nearly completely separated from my sternum, I had IBS, osteoporosis, serious asthma, COPD (sleeping with 4 pillow sitting up so I could breath), pneumonia, acneic skin, eczema, arthritis, pre-diabetic, lipomas, developing cancer cells, was diagnosed with depression, - the list goes on.
I decided to continue to take matters into my own hands, do something extreme and save my life. The doctors had given up on me, a few times. Listening to my soul I moved to China- there my lung collapsed, I developed dysentery, skin lesions, liver challenges, yellow eyes, gained 30 lbs and lost 50; weighed just over 95 lbs without enough strength to walk. I was crawling to the bathroom and seemed it like a good time to call home to say "I know I am here to help people but it looks like it will not be in this body, I feel I am going to leave the planet now."(a very tough but peaceful call)
When I hung up the phone I became very tired as though all of my energy, my life force, was running out of my body. There was a sinking feeling and I felt like a lead weight in water and nauseated. I then began to feel lighter, recapping all of the wonderful experiences in my life and felt an overwhelming sense of peace; brightness in the room and for the first time in a long time, in my own body. My soul was glowing. I could not see anything else in the room and felt as though I was floating, pulled gently by a type of cord; there was no pain, I felt relaxed, open, free and loving it there. There were shapes of golden beings around, it was beautiful. This went on for what seemed like half and hour. As I was pulled further away I felt disconnect from my purpose and could feel the souls of others that were to receive my help. In this space I asked my higher self what do I need to do to heal my body and was provided with the download and a condition. The condition was that I commit to helping others with this information and commit to being a living example of these teachings and help others to do the same.
There was a brighter golden light within my soul, which I realized was my message, my gift! In tears, I agreed; for this had always been my greatest wish.
I did not feel like a victim anymore. I understood why I had to struggle for decades and was filled with gratitude. The 8 principles were revealed to me slowly and many are no secret:
1. Hydrate- with coconut water
2. Eat only fresh water rich whole, raw chemical-free foods
3. Be mindful of your environment- fresh clean air, beauty, staying warm and allow your body to heal
4. Movement-= stretch- release & sweat, smile
5. Be conscious of all that is put into your body- what you hear, what you see and what you say, be love
6. Rest- is a productive activity (a revelation for a triple type A personality)
7. Commit to being your own hero and show others it is not only ok but essential to do the same. No more playing small!
8. Connect daily with your higher self/ God/ Buddha and know that you are never really alone. You have all of the answers.
These and my 3 decades of study in naturopathy, nutrition, nutrigenomics, human performance, and the mind-body connection are the founding principles that have resulted in my complete transformation, the teaching at Raw Foundation Culinary Arts Institute, The Raw Food Foundation, my private mentoring-The L.I.F.T. method, Fortune 50 and 500 companies, traditional and community education programs in 28 countries, and beyond. - I’m so grateful it has all happened in this body.🙏
People ask where do you get your motivation from and I say I have a special agreement for life and smile. As a result, I am healthy, living a life that I love; serving, supporting and celebrating both the transformation in others and making visible their living legacy through educating, coaching & mentoring-Thought Leadership. I believe that we are all here to unwrap our gifts and be the celebrities of our own messages. I believe that if I can change the way people look at food and their lives, I can change the world. So can you. I believe in you.❤️
With love, gratitude and Joie de vivre,

Myself and my clients are living examples that chronic illness can be optional, thyroid and metabolism on point, “reversing” diabetes, ditching an MS motorized scooter- and racing up he Grouse Grind, reclaiming the health, figure and zest we had in high school at 50, better relationships, wake boarding at 76, and going from depressed to being in a really good mood-consistently-happens too! (+ Colin called off his knee surgery and kept his sports car!)
I would love to support you or someone dear to you, on the journey to having the energy to live an exceptional life and share your Thought Leadership. It’s my “assignment.” What’s yours?❤️
