The drive: What challenges have you overcome?
My health has been the biggest challenge. My health became extremely poor after surgery for an ectopic pregnancy and I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome/fibromyalgia about 10 years ago, when my boys were toddlers. There were no real treatments that doctors could offer and daily living was a struggle because of the serious lack of energy. Naturopathy turned this around for me and helped me to overcome this to the point where I am now completely symptom free and this led me to study and become a naturopath myself.
For better or worse: What are the pros and cons of running your own business?
Running your own business means that you can choose your own hours and for me it means a better work/life balance. Working from my home also means more time with my kids. The downside is that it is hard work and if you do not manage your time well or have solid planning and boundaries, your business could creep into your home life. It can mean more financial stress too.
Hopes and dreams: What next?
I’d like to continue to grow my business and possibly expand into a bigger clinic working with other like-minded practitioners. I would also maybe like to write a book one day because I want to help reach many people and empower them with natural self-healing tools.
