In Candace’s Words
I pursued a degree in Acupuncture and functional medicine mainly because of my son. Being born premature, he was faced with many health risks that the doctors said would begin to show as he got older. After a lot of research, interviewing of specialists and questioning, I knew that a healthy diet and good nutrients would be essential to his health.

Through preschool and parent get togethers I started to share some of the information I had learned about a natural food diet. At the time, “organic” wasn’t even mentioned at the grocery store! I shared my lists of healthy foods that would relieve symptoms of allergies, asthma, and ADD. Along with creating foods that would enhance health, I researched which nutrients would compliment the foods and support healthy immune function.

At the age of 12, my son was in a plane that crashed into Lake Michigan. The impact from hitting the water left my son with a severe concussion, the first of many brain injuries. The next part of my journey began. I explored treatments that involved healing the brain from concussions/brain injuries and found solutions that helped. Acupuncture was a key treatment for him and I was fascinated by its effectiveness. As a result, I attained my degree in acupuncture.

Today, I combine my years of healthy cooking, Chinese medicine, research based nutrition and functional therapies into a wellness platform for every clients’ recovery and leap into vitality.
