About Me

I have studied many healing modalities in my life. After many years of schooling I am both an eastern and western medical professional. I have learned that the most success in my life comes from the voice from within not from some medical text. In the last few years I have discovered a whole new way to nourish my body. I went from feeling heavy and tired to feeling light and alive like the sun. My business The Raw Firm promotes my knowledge of living foods and aims to help the individual learn to love themselves and thus heal themselves from the inside out. I am horrified by how people turn a blind eye to their mental, physical and spiritual needs. I believe that just as we can make ourselves ill, we can heal ourselves. I am also writing a book and hope that someone will publish it soon.

My Interests

Writing, photography, playing music and singing. Latin dance. Raw foods, nutrition, health, qigong, spirituality. Travel. More spirituality, crystals, meditation, healing wisdom, botany, english bulldogs, co-creative and organic gardening.

I'd like to meet:

Others who are health conscious, ancient spirits, teachers, holders of great wisdom, old friends, new friends and open-minded people who are willing to learn.

Music:

I love music, have since I popped into this world. I go through phases with what I listen to but jazz is up there especially latin jazz, folk, Dylan, Beatles, Moby, lounge, Devandra Banhart and so on. World Music and native music. I also like to write songs, sing and strum my guitar.

Movies:
