How Shizuka found the way in.
I am a registered nurse since 2010. I am originally from Japan, born and raised. My husband and I currently have 5 dogs, big and small, in our household, and we volunteer at a local animal shelter. With years developing my nursing skills, I have often felt something was missing. My personal passion for a holistic approach to wellbeing had propelled me into the world of aromatherapy, and herbalism.
While western medicine maintains an allopathic perspective, even when encouraging a holistic approach, it too often ignores the benefits of these disciplines. My intention is to incorporate the whole plant, including science and energetics into a truly holistic plant method of supporting a person as a whole. I am now branching out on the herbal path.
