Welcome

Over the last 12 years as a Pharmacist, I have counseled thousands of people about their health complaints, concerns, and treatments. Although I know some prescription medications save lives and are necessary, I believe preventative medicine is where most of us need to focus. I am now creating an online health and wellness community where you can receive, and share, information that is important to your overall health and wellness.

I grew up, and became a Pharmacist, in lush green Oregon appreciating the natural beauty and simple way of life that focuses on natural health and wellness. As a result, I have always been a student of natural medicine and the environment. I have counseled thousands of people concerning their health issues and needs as they relate to both Eastern and Western Medicine. I have blended my knowledge and experience of science and nature to become the first and only Eco Pharmacist™.

Now, I will be able to help even more people through my Eco Pharmacy™ community! Please join this community and feel free to contact me with your questions and concerns.
