Natural health called to me as I grew tired of the way I was living. I believed there had to be a better way. I wanted formal training so I could learn how to better care for myself, and I was prepared to make a change. When I enrolled at Trinity School of Natural Health on March 2, 2020—just as the world began to shift with the onset of COVID-19—I couldn't have imagined how deeply it would influence my journey. I finally had a path.
During the Master Iridology course, something extraordinary happened: the material felt deeply familiar, almost as if I were remembering something my spirit had always known. That recognition ignited a spark that grew into a passion that has guided my career ever since. After earning my certification through Trinity and becoming internationally board-certified, new doors opened, confirming that when you apply yourself and have Trinity School of Natural Health to support you, you intuitively move toward the work you are meant to do.
My most recent achievement is completing the Advanced Iridology Fellowship Program with the International Iridology Practitioners Association (IIPA), earning the Fellow Iridologist designation. I am the eighth IIPA Fellow worldwide to earn this distinction. IIPA states, "The Fellow Iridologist program was developed to encourage our devoted Iridologists and those who want to continue to educate themselves and others in the field of Iridology." I completed this rigorous five-year program in just 28 months. My submission included extensive client case studies, published articles, and service on the Certifications & Standards Committee supporting the Board of Directors. This opportunity came after I became internationally board-certified in Iridology Levels I, II, and III with IIPA.
As my professional journey expanded, my personal health also transformed. During my time with Trinity, I lost 75 pounds as I learned how to eat properly, support my body, and manage a busy lifestyle. I was introduced to the Foundations of Health, a concept I had never heard of before, and it changed the way I approached my own well-being. During my Fellowship candidacy, I authored Eyes That Remember, a book on advanced iridology compiling the articles I wrote and published during the Fellowship, including "Ancestral Trauma, Iridology, and the Impact on the Nervous System," which became its centerpiece.
Looking back, Trinity gave me more than academic training—it opened my eyes to principles I had never encountered. The simple phrase, "The body will heal itself if given the chance," changed everything. I grew up in a household where hard work replaced self-care, where health was taken for granted until it was gone. Both my parents lived with that mindset and passed away young. They didn't know there was another way. Realizing this cycle wasn't inevitable—that health could be nurtured and restored—was revolutionary.
"The eyes hold stories that deserve to be told. Helping clients understand their health through iris analysis is why I remain committed to IIPA and the advancement of iridology worldwide."
Today, that belief continues to shape the way I live, learn, and practice—from my groundwork studies at Trinity School of Natural Health through earning the Iridology Fellow designation. The education I received keeps rippling outward through my work, my research, and my ongoing commitment to share what I have learned with others.
