MY BEGINNINGS!
Why and how did I start in all of this?
Many years ago, back in the 1980's I became environmentally sensitive and suffered for years with 'ecological illness'.
I endured many symptoms : red itchy and swollen eyes, constant sneezing, extreme fatigue, runny nose, headaches, low energy, narcolepsy, red-blotchy skin rashes........ Was bed-ridden for most of the day.
I was forced to abandon all cosmetics, personal care items, cleaning products , shampoos along with eating a very selected, restricted, organic, no-grain, dairy-sugar free diet. I had to move to the country out of a gas-heated house as I reacted to the subtle off-gassing in the home. My body had become just too sensitive to the airborne contaminants. Much of my clothing, blankets, sheets, towels all had to be changed to 100% non-treated cotton -as most were treated with chlorine. I discovered that I was highly reactive to chlorine.
This also meant that my bathing & drinking water had to be filtered. My worst reactions though were my brain-emotional symptoms...... quick-debilitating depression, memory glitches (known as brain-fog) and difficulty in concentrating and focusing.

Unfortunately, there wasn't much available to help me back then, as there is today. At the time of my discovery, I was a classroom teacher & guidance counselor and I had to take a part-time position due to difficulties in not being able to work.
I eventually left public school teaching to pursue a part-time doctoral degree ..... in order to find answers for myself. The doctors I visited, were very limited in their scope on chemical toxicities. I was at a 'stuck-place', until I visited a clinical-ecologist.
It was during this time in my doctoral program that I decided to pursue research on brain allergies in my psychology studies.
The topic of brain allergies was a rare pursuit and combination, not at all known or considered for mental health issues, even to this day in 2020. My university dissertation became the first work of its kind in the field of psychology at the University of Toronto as well as in environmental or ecological sciences.
As a doctoral student I discovered that I possessed a deep passion to share my research, knowledge and experiences with others. As a result, I was encouraged to end my teaching career, of eighteen years in the public school system altogether and begin my private practice in holistic health. I taught small group seminars over the course of the last 25 years along with furthering my in-depth studies in Energy Medicine, hands-on healing, visualization practices and nutrition. I helped countless numbers of people over the course of my 28 years in private practice utilizing cutting-edge, energy healing practices and energy technologies
( see www.bwellnow.net and/or www.vivaligneducation.com ).
I sourced, not only for holistic, energy techniques, but also for truly, organic, safe, whole Nature botanical herbs and healing products.
In the late 90's I discovered the power of authentic, organic, therapeutic grade A essential oils and the art & science of French medicinal aromatherapy. These precious and live-food essential oils were introduced into my life for my personal healing, then my clinical practices and eventually, into all of my teaching classes.
When I wrote my book, "Vibrational Cleaning" on this subject, and saw what was happening with my clients, I knew it was important to expand my help as well to you, who are reading this statement now, in how to 'Go Chemical- Free, Safe & Natural' too.
My approach in teaching goes further than just making some simple suggestions for changes- it also addresses many other issues such as how:

My approach in teaching goes further than just making some simple suggestions for changes- it also addresses many other issues such as how:
- to improve your memory,
- concentration,
- increase your energy,
- feel and look youthful,
- enhance your intuition
- and creativity
