With the uptick in ticks around the country as Big Pharma prepares to launch a Lyme vaccine, there are things you can do! I have ALL of these growing in my yard and gardens and love to walk through them and release the scent. Just be aware how fast some will travel - catnip and lemon balm like to find additional homes where ever they can!

MAKE YOUR GARDEN INHOSPITABLE TO TICKS

American beautyberry: One of the most studied natural tick repellents. Leaves contain compounds comparable to DEET in some studies.

These plants work because ticks rely heavily on sensing hosts through smell and CO₂:

Catnip: contains a compound called nepetalactone, and it actually repels insects by interfering with how they find you.

Lavender: Contains linalool- shown to repel ticks and insects.

Rosemary: Strong camphoraceous oils; great along borders and pathways.

Lemon balm: High in citronellal — similar to citronella.

Mint: Potent, but spreads aggressively (best in contained zones).

Thyme: Especially creeping thyme — excellent as a ground cover where ticks would otherwise climb

Sage: Strong scent + dry leaf structure = less hospitable environment.

Garlic: Sulfur compounds repel ticks; also works systemically in soil.

The eyes speak before the body shows symptoms. What if we learn what are eyes reveal and can then potentially prevent the symptoms from even happening? I’d love to do an iridology assessment for you!

We’re used to waiting for symptoms.

But what if the body shows signs before that point?

Often, there’s a quieter phase first where the body is adapting, compensating, and under load… long before something feels “wrong.”

In Integrated Iridology, we observe patterns that can reflect this phase:

• how the body responds to stress
• where energy may be overused or under-supported
• how well systems are regulating and recovering

It’s not about diagnosis.

It’s about seeing function in real time.

Because by the time symptoms appear, the body has usually been trying to manage things for a while.

Earlier awareness doesn’t create fear — it creates options.

Finishing up this years batch of dandelion jelly! Let me know if you want the recipe! It tastes like honey. With less pectin it can be used as a syrup too.

Almost missed the full bloom in our yard when I was away…

Yep. Looks like my yard.

Frequency therapy works. I have recently begun offering bioenergetic scans in my practice and using frequency to bring balance to the body physically and emotionally. It was one of the main modalities I used two weeks ago after my cat bit me and punctured my finger. It healed completely within a couple days. I never liked physics ins school but the more I learn about quantum physics and frequency therapy I am in awe of the detail with which we were created. It’s great to see articles like this that share what we have known and used with clients.

In a groundbreaking development, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a novel cancer therapy that uses focused sound waves to target tumors, offering an alternative to traditional treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery. This approach, sometimes referred to as high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), harnesses the energy of sound waves to destroy cancerous tissue with precision while sparing surrounding healthy cells.

During treatment, ultrasound waves are carefully directed at the tumor, generating heat and mechanical forces that disrupt the cancer cells’ structure. The process can trigger cell death, reduce tumor size, and in some cases, stimulate the body’s immune response against remaining cancer cells. Unlike conventional therapies, sound wave treatment is non invasive, which means no incisions, less risk of infection, and often shorter recovery times for patients.

Clinical studies have demonstrated promising results for certain types of tumors, including prostate, liver, pancreatic, and breast cancers. Patients experienced tumor reduction and improved outcomes without many of the side effects commonly associated with chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Researchers believe that this technology may expand to other cancers in the future as devices and techniques continue to improve.

Experts note that while sound wave therapy does not replace all standard treatments yet, it represents a major advancement in non invasive oncology care. Ongoing research aims to refine targeting methods, optimize treatment protocols, and evaluate long term effectiveness and safety.

This FDA approval highlights the growing potential of innovative technologies to provide safer, more precise cancer therapies with fewer side effects.

Then enter the quantum realm healing… iridology, emotions healing and quantum physics.

Epigenetics researchers at the Institut Pasteur in Paris and INSERM have completed the most definitive human study of transgenerational epigenetic inheritance ever conducted — following three generations of Holocaust survivor families, Cambodian genocide survivor families, and control populations across 25 years — finding specific, reproducible methylation changes in stress-response genes (particularly the FKBP5 and NR3C1 glucocorticoid receptor genes) that are present in trauma survivors, transmitted to their biological children, and detectable in grandchildren who never experienced trauma themselves. Emotional pain leaves molecular scars. Those scars are heritable. 🧬
The mechanism — once considered impossible in mammals because the genetic dogma held that acquired characteristics cannot be inherited — operates through the germline epigenome. During the formation of s***m and eggs, the genome undergoes near-complete epigenetic reprogramming to remove parental marks. "Near-complete" is the operative word. Certain loci, including stress-response gene promoters, resist this reprogramming when the parent's stress exposure has been sufficiently severe and prolonged, maintaining their trauma-induced methylation patterns through the reprogramming process and passing them to the offspring's genome. The trauma experience writes itself into the reproductive cells.
The clinical implications are profound and already actionable. Children and grandchildren of trauma survivors show elevated baseline cortisol levels, altered HPA axis responsiveness, and increased risk of PTSD, anxiety, and depression — not because of how they were raised, but because of how their grandparents suffered. Understanding this mechanism means targeted epigenetic therapies could potentially reverse inherited stress marks, liberating future generations from trauma they never personally experienced.
The Pasteur team is now working with EMDR and methylation-targeting drug combinations. This is no longer metaphor — the inheritance of trauma is molecular, measurable, and potentially reversible.

I am once again in awe of how much care and detail God put into each of us as we were knit together in our mother’s womb! I am finishing an iridology intensive this week and am amazed at all the detail that can be seen in the iris alone. Every organ connects to the iris via the optic nerve. 28000 nerves connect to the iris! Every detail together tells a story- an incredibly unique story for each of us.

What we see in the iris can be used to understand genetic predispositions (or the what COULD be) so you understand what you can do to support the body now before issues arise.

Did you know there are ways to support your health if you have blue eyes vs brown? And If there are other pigments or markings those indicate other areas of support are needed? From nutrition (what to eat and what to avoid) to lifestyle to herbals to basic foundations you can learn what YOU need to be supported.

I have included basic iridology assessments for my clients up til now but as I finish this course and prepare to become a Certified Comprehensive Iridologist, I will be offering more in depth evaluations going forward.

Reach out to me if you’d be interested in learning more or scheduling your evaluation to learn how to support YOU. I’m excited to help you learn how YOU were created to need holistic support.

Explore natural, faith-based healing solutions for holistic health—spirit, soul, and body—tailored to your unique needs. Start your journey today.

First goal of 2026 completed✅

I finished my certification as a Biblical Wellness Coach! 🙏🔥🥳

In it I learned how faith, frequency and physiology work together and how the Scriptures activate the nervous system. Where peace reigns, healing begins as the nervous system regulates.

I now have new tools and exercises that clients can use as they walk in healing emotionally and strengthen their identity in Christ. True identity is something I am very passionate about (if you’ve read my book Doorway to Freedom you’ll know).

Reach out to schedule your appointment if this resonates with you! I’d love to hear from you!!

This is my morning view when I woke up… and the view from my office while i drink ny coffee…

The peacefulness and silence. Beauty and peace.

The sky only lasted this blue for a bit. Now it’s back to winter gray. I am thankful for a warm dry house that became our home when my kids could grow up and now become adults.

Today my third son, Luke, turns 18. And both the younger two have completed high school this week. Many chapters ending and we wait to see the new that unfolds. But in the pause, we wait and reflect, pray and hope. And rest in the One who holds it all.
