Welcome to An Ounce of Prevention!
This is the the place where I get to do what I love most: teach people how to live the best possible life using the most natural tools available.
When I started my business back in 1999, my first challenge was to give a name to my endeavor. That was easy! I remember my Grandmother saying to me, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, you know."
And so my plan is to bring to as many people as possible that ounce of prevention that could possibly be their pound of cure. It does not always happen overnight, but it does happen with careful planning and due diligence.
On the pages of this website you will, I believe, find the help and guidance for which you have been searching. Hopefully, you will come to my space to start your journey to true health and wellness. I cannot do this work alone, so as you wander through these pages you will find some of the people who work with me to help you reach your wellness goals, you will find articles that will introduce a new or different perspective, and recipes for really good eating that are not in run-of-the-mill cookbooks. The tools are available. What's missing is YOU.
It's a great ride!

“Consider health care. Our current system of allopathic medicine is a growth industry, partly because of its overwhelming reliance on technology and pharmaceutical drugs. With six out of nine trips to the doctor concluding with a prescription for a drug, allopathic medicine makes people dependent on “consuming” chemicals to alleviate symptoms or relieve conditions…..but the fundamental problem is…..the allopathic system itself, which requires you to get sick in order to get well.”
“Preventive medicine, the alternative, is a developmental business. It, too, is founded on scientific research, but it is dedicated to preventing illness, drug dependence, and hospital care whenever possible. It is a people-to-people business, hands-on, gregarious, empowering, and educational. It informs and instructs.”
“Preventive medicine gives people greater control over their lives, an understanding of the root causes of illness, and a means to reduce their dependence on drugs and hospitals.”
Taken from the national bestseller The Ecology of Commerce by Paul Hawken, 1993 (pp140-141)
