Hi,
My name is Barbara Ertel and I am the owner of Nature's Connection. My business has been in existence since 1992 and has grown and developed tremendously in the last 17 years as I have grown and developed personally.
To tell you about Nature's Connection. I first need to tell you about my personal journey into the natural health field and what has happened as a result.
Seventeen years ago, I was at a point in my life where I was suffering from chronic muscle pain, migraines, fatigue, food allergies, and insomnia due in part to fibromyalgia. In addition, I was under chronic stress due to my professional career and personal life. I was living the result of choices that I made that were not congruent to who I was at a deeper level.
At that time there were not many options available to me through conventional medicine except for pain medication. I decided to first pursue natural therapies and whole foods to try to regain my health. Instinctively I felt that I was created to enjoy good health throughout my life and I needed to do my part for that to happen.
Healing came in many forms and on many levels-physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. What I discovered was that not only was my lifestyle out of balance but so was the rest of my life.
I first began making different lifestyle choices such as improving my diet, regularly exercising, and taking good quality supplements. It wasn't long before it became apparent that there were other factors that needed to be addressed, such as finding a new occupation and forming new personal relationships. What I had was not working. Once I became honest with myself and began making changes, my health improved more than I believed possible. What I discovered was that healing can occur quickly and painlessly when the body receives what it needs on all levels. What began as small lifestyle changes turned out to be a total life makeover. As a result, I healed my physical pain, discovered my purpose in life, began a new occupation and developed fulfilling relationships.
In the process, of working on me, I read numerous books on self-healing and personal development. I took classes in Reflexology, Kinesiology, Herbology, Energy Work and have integrated them together into the current services I offer. My personal mission is to share what I have learned with others seeking to change their lives. A comprehensive plan can produce life-changing results in a very profound way. I invite you to discover what your body is telling you.
