Waterbrook Wellness, LLC came as a result of personal health challenges I faced over the past 23 years as I endured and overcome various pain. My journey has been difficult to say the least. One of the biggest hurdles I faced was finding practitioners who listened with compassion to my desires to use natural methods to address my conditions. I strive to become the practitioner that I searched for and so desperately needed. I am healthy now thanks to this type of practitioner and the loving support of my husband, Israel.

My passion and vision uses cutting edge method to approach the body as a whole by focusing on our lymphatic system. I continually see positive results and feedback as people experience pain relief plus a sense of well-being.
