With little explanation I was placed on medication to balance out my hormones. (Why did no one take the time to educate me?) Even at such an early age I was curious, I knew there had to be other ways to help my body. I dove head first into educating myself about the health and wellness community. I read books, meditated (or at least tried), played with aroma therapy and herbs. My parents looked on with wonder and confusion. WHAT is our daughter up to? I was hungry for knowledge (this was before you could Google a million hits on any topic). In my exploration I discovered cannabis recreationally. I enjoyed how it made me feel. It seemed to balance me. I eventually ended up at the Northeast School of Botanical Medicine to take a deep dive into herbal medicine. I knew at some point I wanted to help people and share what I have learned.

Fast forward to my 40s balancing life with kids, a home, relationships, work, stress, autoimmune disease and Lyme disease.  Cannabis had come back into my life as a very powerful medicine.  I knew there was so much good that this plant could do, and I wanted to be a part of it.  I wanted to learn everything I could about it.  I wanted to put my skills to use in helping people find the cannabis that was right for them, and make them feel good about the choices they made.  When I realized I could get certified as a Cannabis Coach, I jumped right in. 

My friends and family were all using cannabis to treat some sort of symptom or ailment. Nothing made me happier (or realize that I was on the right path) more than having a friend share that the cannabis I recommended for them was helping them sleep, easing their pain or their anxiety.
