Gwenn Marie’s education and practice in the Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) health field began in the late 1980s as a colon hygienist. It was during this time she began to learn about the importance of nutrition and diet in relationship to health and wellness of the body. Another emerging awareness was how emotions held in the body tissue cause disease. Through her own health challenges she sought out CAM to assist in her healing from the prevalent random cycle of pain in her body. Through Acupuncture and Thai Chi she gained a deeper understanding of how complex the human body really is. She began to notice her own sensitivity to the flow of life energy with in and around the body. This piqued her interest and desire to seek out classes and workshops on maintaining the flow of life energy for self-healing and wellness care.
