I am a Native Alaskan by blood and by birth, born and raised Alaskan.

I have been married for thirteen years to a man that I could not imagine life without. We have two children. We have a daughter (12 years) and a son (3 years) who are our hearts with arms and legs. They are our joy and laughter. And when we grow up we want to be just like our kids, they are amazing teachers and spiritual mentors. We are the home on the block where all the kids gather to play and where juice boxes and snacks are handed out in abundance or popsicles on a hot summer day while the kids are competing in Slip N'Slide competitions. Our house and yard teams with children even when our children aren't home. We are that house on the block and it makes for a lot of fun and bandaids being passed out. [laughs] As for activities and hobbies, in our home it breaks down something like this between all the wrestling, tag and tickle fights.

Our tween daughter is a practicing martial artist, participates in competitive sports, reads incessantly - a big reader, plays XBox 360, and enjoys watching reality tv shows such as Top Chef, Design Star, The Apprentice, Ninja Warrior, and Gladiator UK. She also really enjoys Masterpiece Theatre. She is also a fashion maven and stylist in the making. A total trendsetter.

Our preschool son is really into Legos, Lincoln Logs, Hot Wheels, Thomas The Train or anything else about trains, as well as V-Tech Smile. He likes watching tv shows such as The Backyardigans, Franklin, Little Einsteins, The Wonder Pets, and Mickey Mouse ClubHouse.His all-time favorite Disney characters are Donald Duck and Goofy.

My husband and I like to cook and often can be found in the kitchen trying recipes or watching reality tv shows about cooking such as Top Chef and all of Gordon Ramsay's cooking reality shows such as Gordon Ramsay's The "F" Word (UK only), Hell's Kitchen (UK & USA Versions), and Kitchen Nightmares (UK & USA Versions). We also really like enjoy watching Raymond Blanc's, Last Restaurant Standing (UK only). When it's not about food, my husband and I also enjoy reading. Favorite authors being Ted Dekker, Frank Perreti, C.S. Lewis, and J.R.R.Tolkien. We also ride bikes (motorcycles), and target practice at the shooting range. We also enjoy other television shows such as LOST, CSI, The Mentalist, E.R., Masterpiece Theatre, BBC's Primeval & Robin Hood. As a family, we enjoy getting out together as much as we can no matter what the activity or road trip may be. And sometimes the activity is something simple like playing board games and just laughing with the children and their friends.

And now the reason I have a profile here. I have always been fascinated with health and well-being. Medicine is something that I have strong intuitive sense about, it's like second nature and I often wonder if it's something I should have studied. Since I believe life is all about learning and enjoying what you learn, I absolutely love this program because of what I learn and am able to put into practice with my family and friends. It enables me to share with others along the way as well for the benefit of all. This program has been long overdue in a media industry that has run rampid with daytime talk shows and may of them about the irrevelant, filling one's head with useless information. This program has been long overdue and especially in an era where pill-popping is beyond popular, it's the social and acceptable norm.
