I have a bachelor's degree in Microbiology and am a Nationally Certified Pharmacy Technician. With a background in healthcare, I have always been concerned about my general health. When I became pregnant with my son at age 27 I started researching green and natural living and it is a subject I am passionate about. My first choice is always a natural solution to health problems, however I am also accepting of 'traditional' medicine approaches when needed. I believe that healthy eating, exercise, relaxation and preventative medicine are our best defenses against disease.
