I became a Certified Practical Nurse in California just to be a better Mom.   When we realized we would have four children in college at once I returned to school to get my R.N.  I later trained to become the first non-Catholic Chaplin in Vermont’s only Catholic hospital. This hospital was owned and operated by the Religious Hospitalers of St. Joseph out of Montreal.  I worked there for ten years; seven were also served on the covenant for the Gray Nuns and some fifteen years teaching laying on of hands in an international organization which brought this into the hospitals in New England.  I am a Reiki Master, Integrated Energy Therapist at the Master/Trainer level, Certified Massage Therapist/Reflexologist, and an Ordained Interfaith Minister.  I have a Native American background. I became a pastry chef to help our youngest son in his restaurant.   It was around our dining table that I started my Nikken business with 17 dinner parties in a row to pick my team of business players.
