Meet Sherry
Sherry Hillesheim is a retired Air Force Nurse and now wellness is her passion. Several years ago her father was diagnosed with diabetes, and at the time she became SO frustrated with what he was being taught, not taught and prescribed in the traditional health-care world for his diabetes and his eventual heart conditions. Wellness had always been an interest hers (thanks to her father), therefore, her journey continued in earnest to look outside that traditional box for other natural options. And, wow, what a journey it has been. She’s lived all over the world and learned we all have many other wellness options — holistically speaking — that is why she has decided to write this blog.
