About Mary

I have been studying natural and wholistic healing since the age of 20. That's when I first read Let's Get Well by Adele Davis and my healing began. Since this change (it's been years now), I have continued to study nutrition, herbal remedies and body function. I have many stories and experiences. . .Like the time I saved a young calf's life by force feeding a mixture of herb tea.... after the vet had given up on him. Or the time a friend cut himself badly while working in the farm .......by making a poultice with herbs he was HEALED in one week and to this day has a very minute scar. Or another time, when a machine shop apprentice was badly burned in a gasoline fire and refused to go to the hospital.

I was introduced to Living Foods lifestyle by a friend's mother. She had cancer and refused to let medical doctors use conventional (cut, burn and poison) methods on her, and to the utter dismay and disapproval of her doctors, chose alternative healing methods. She had made the trip all the way to California to spend a month at a "health resort". When she came home she was radiant.  I was curious.  So, I started helping her apply what she had learned. That is, growing buckwheat, sunflower greens, and of all things, wheatgrass. I wasn't really sure about her choice of alternatives, but realized that she believed in it, so I went along and learned a great deal. I learned how to sprout, compost, plant, and use the things we grew. (Mind you SHE ate most of it, as I was "healthy", and I didn't "need" it.) In April one year, I drove her from Toronto to Union City, MI to attend a lecture given by Eddye Mae Hunsburger at the Creative Health Institute. The lecture was very interesting and I joined in with everybody for the beautiful banquet they was served.

Two years later, I attended a "Living Foods" Food Preparation Seminar given by Jim Boulan. It was very rewarding, as I had tried to make the food, that I had gotten so good at growing, taste good without cooking it. I had become a good cook, but, this was very different from what I was used to and needed guidance. The experience was so rewarding I decided if I ever had the opportunity, I would like to work at this special place where people came to learn about nutrition and healing. It meant I could be in a place where people would be receptive to the things I had learned and yearned to share with the world. I was excited. Three years after this experience I had the opportunity do a program and went through a one month detoxification and rejuvenation experience. What an experience! I thought I had done it all by that time. I had a lot to learn!

At that time I met and got to know the owner, Don Haughey. He and another lecturer, Dr. Gerald Berbaum along with Joyce Olivetto convinced me that I had healing hands and that I should be teaching. So, I went to California and attended the Touch For Health Foundation Kinetic Education Instructor Training Course by Dr. John Thie, as well as the California School of Medical Sciences for Massage Training and obtained my teaching certificate.

I taught at Creative Health Institute for 10 years, from 1989 to 1999 including Living Foods Concepts, body balancing and hygiene, and did massage when time allowed. I also taught other classes when needed, and, feel much closer to fulfilling my life's goal of helping all living things, including Mother Earth, live more productive and comfortable lives. Many of my students and co-workers have gone on to create their own means of spreading the news of healthy eating to the world, including Ada and Mike Robinson of The Village of Natural Teachings, Hiawatha Cromer of Genesis Health Ministries, and Thelma Curtis of the Detroit Living Foods Support Group, and many students who still keep in touch with me by e-mail. They will always be a part of my life.
