Protecting our natural health and freedom has always been important to our family. We began farming organically over 50 years ago, on the farm homesteaded by our great grandparents. As children, our parents set a great example of being aware and actively being a part of protecting our freedom.
I personally am very grateful for the pioneers before us and now the people who work diligently to continue Health Freedom. It’s important that we are a team because there are strength in numbers. I love being a part of this team.
I was so excited to find Nature’s Sunshine Products over 40 years ago! It has been an adventure of learning, sharing, growing and being part of a huge family of, “people helping people”. Along this journey I have been able to complete my Certified Natural Health Professional, Certified Nutritional Consultant, and presently completing my Master Herbalist.
I love living life, enjoying God‘s beautiful creation. Photography is one way I can share many of the beautiful moments I get to enjoy. I love the outdoors and will always be a country girl. Traveling is a favorite hobby. I enjoy time with my 3 daughters in Montana; April Sunshine, Ashley Dawn, Amber Jeannine. And what a joy it is to have Grand Children who I dearly love.
Sharing natural health has been a gift to me, my family, friends, and clients. I find it rewarding to hear and see when others enjoy healthy results. There is so much to be enjoyed in this life and we need our health to do it.
Thank you for being a part of Sunshine Health Freedom as we continue our important work. May God Bless You Richly.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
