OUR STORY
The Wisdom of
the Back Porch
I’m Gloria, a former Registered Nurse who followed a lifelong call into holistic healing. I have fond memories of sitting on the back porch swing with my grandmother listening to stories about how she made rounds with her father back in the early 1900's. He was a physician and surgeon in a time when the doctors made house calls. Her stories were all about caring for the people in the community, and using herbs for medicine. Her stories always stuck with me and after spending 20 years as a RN I began my quest to study and learn about Nature's ways.
Over the years I’ve studied Aromatherapy (I have 2 certifications in this modality), Herbalism, Healing Touch, and Hypnotherapy, and obtained a Master of Arts in Wisdom Studies from Ubiquity University. In the Wisdom Studies course I was fortunate to have taken 3 of Dr. Raymond Moody's courses. He is the psychiatrist who coined the term "near death experience" and wrote the first book on the subject, Life after Life.
When Dr. Caroline Myss conducted her first Sacred Contracts course after publishing her book of the same name, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to attend that 2-year program to become a Sacred Contract Consultant.
