Enjoy Life Again

When I was seventeen years old, I had a dream that I remembered throughout my life.
In it, I saw myself teaching mothers how to help their families be healthy and whole. I didn’t understand then what that would mean, but I knew it was something God wanted me to do.

That same year, a neighbor who was a midwife invited me to her natural childbirth class. My mother and I attended together, surrounded by young couples learning how to support the body’s natural design through herbs and nutrition. Afterward my mother said, “I wish I had learned this before I had eleven children.”

That single experience awakened something in me—a desire to understand how the body works, why it breaks down, and how it can be restored to health in partnership with God’s wisdom.

I grew up on a small farm in a large family, where we raised much of our own food and learned early the value of self-reliance. But I also inherited several health challenges, including severe blood-sugar issues and, later, a serious knee injury during my Air Force service that left me in constant pain.

For twenty years, I studied everything I could find about natural healing—hundreds of books on herbs, nutrition, and wellness—but real answers didn’t come until a friend gave me An Herbal Legacy of Courage, the story of herbalist Dr. John R. Christopher. As I read, something inside me resonated deeply. I began applying what I learned, and within six weeks my blood sugar stabilized for the first time in decades.

Later, using specific herbs and nutrients, I rebuilt my knee and was able to run again—pain-free. Those experiences convinced me that the human body is divinely designed to heal when we give it what it truly needs.

After twenty-seven years of service in the Air Force, I retired to devote myself fully to this calling. I became a Master Herbalist and applied my Master’s Degree in Business Systems, which helped me see how the body’s systems interact as one unified whole.

While working with clients and praying for guidance, I began receiving quiet impressions and insights about how to “turn the lights back on” in the body when certain systems have shut down. These insights formed the foundation for what is now known as Body-Temple Stewardship—a framework that teaches people how to care for the body as a sacred gift and responsibility.

Today, I teach families—especially mothers—how to take stewardship of their own wellness. Through prayer, discernment, and natural methods, they learn to listen to their bodies and recognize what brings them back into balance.

I call this process Body-Temple Stewardship because the body truly is a sacred temple. When we honor it and work in harmony with divine law, our capacity for health, peace, and vitality expands in ways that feel miraculous.

Now in my late sixties, I feel better than I did in my twenties. My days are filled with work on our small acreage, teaching, and helping others experience the same renewal. The dream I was shown as a teenager has come full circle—I now teach mothers how to be well, how to heal, and how to nurture their families using natural, God-inspired principles.
