SNM GRAD BEGINS HER OWN HEALTH COACH BIZ

The beautiful, Cheri, graced our classes last spring and summer, and then returned to California where she found a study program of nutritional coaching to help her start her own business, web site and all Omni Tree Healing

"I am Cheri Rosser owner of Omnitree Healing. I knew early on that I wanted to work in the healing arts. I chose psychology as my major in college and earned my BA in the spring of 2011. I learned quite a lot about suffering, all that was wrong with people, and the world as a reflection. I spent years listening to lectures that left me feeling cynical, disappointed and overwhelmed.

I was also suffering with my own mental and emotional issues. Chronic anxiety and debilitating panic attacks had become a normal part of my existance. No matter how many psychology classes I took or how many professional I spoke with, my anxiety remained. I wanted to heal, but not with all the pills doctors handed to me so carelessly. Life was a constant struggle but I carried on.

I knew I wanted to continue my education but the thought of going to graduate school to learn more about behavior disorders and psychological torture was unattractive to say the least.

I went in the opposite direction of many psychology students and spent the summer studying natural medicine at The School of Natural Medicine in Boulder, CO. It was an incredible experience where I studied herbal medicine, healing diets, naturopathy and flower essences. There I was placed on a self healing program which included dietary changes, herbs, detoxing techniques and many healing modalities, as well as incredible love and support from my teacher, Farida Sharan, and fellow classmates.

For the first time in my life I was given the answers I was so desperately seeking. I began to heal and calm down from the inside out. It was a miracle, and more simple then anything I could have imagined. I returned in the fall with a new love and passion for food. Through my education I discovered the incredible healing powers of each bite we take.

Returning to California, I enrolled at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. It is an incredible program where I have learned not only major theories on diet and lifestyle but the depth of food as medicine.

Through natural healing I have discoved a sense of peace and purpose that I would have never imagined possible. My mission is to take my experiences and share them with others."

 

NAVRUZ - TAJIKI NEW YEAR CELEBRATION -DUSHAMBE TEA HOUSE BOULDER - OUR GRADUATE, DILA, IS MC - AND WE DANCE!!!

I attended the Tajikistan Navruz New Year Celebrations at the Dushame Tea House, in Boulder Colorado, enjoyed the amazing and wonderful dance performances, and danced myself! Dila welcomed me by inviting me onto the dance floor, and what a lovely time to share with a graduate as her life, work and world open up after nearly three years of part-time study and self-healing.

Dila reports that new Healing Diets Counselor position at the Dental Health clinic in Denver is going well: "I am getting ready my First Healing Diet Educating class which is gonna be on Monday 9th, and the topic is 'Importance of Balanced pH on Oral and Systemic Health.' I am so excited about it! I made a very good Power Point presentation."

Dila is meeting this week with Julie (another naturopathy student) and her mother, Mary Bolles, at the Sensory Learning Institute in Niwot about working there with the system Dila developed for assisting autistic and ADD children to touch, communicate and relate based on Reflexology, Essential Oils, Flower Essences and Dila's unique movement exercises, combined with diet change.

When a student is ready, the work appear. Congratulations!! Dila, for your devotion to studies and self healing to transform Dila from a medical professional to a natural medicine educator, practitioner and inspiration to all. Lets dance again at Navruz, next year!!!

SNM GRAD JOINS ARIZONA RAW SPIRIT FEST

Summer, our beloved SNM Naturopathy Grad who joined our Living Food Teacher Training a few years ago in Puerto Rico at the Ann Wigmore Institute and has kept up the raw living lifestyle!

"Hi Farida! I attended the Raw Spirit Festival last week in Sedona, AZ and here's my husband Jimmy in this picture with me.  Sedona was magical and depth recharging - soul place for sure.  Raw Spirit Fest was like the illuminated text of Raw Living in 3D.  Really great learning and networking space, where I gained affirmations of what I'm doing right in my life. 

I saw Brigitte Mars (SNM Herbal teacher in SNM USA in Boulder, Colorado) there and I understand she is teaching in your Health Master SNM Iceland school in Reykjavik this week.

I was a Sharing Circle Leader there, offering my talk on sustaining the raw high and bringing the Raw Living Food Lifestyle back to nature.  Here's my picture with David Wolfe!!

I am seriously considering your invitation to join the Iceland Living Food Naturopathy Retreat next year at Solheimer.  It'd be great to reconnect with you very soon.  I miss you and treasure you, my beloved teacher and friend.  Here are a few pictures from Raw Spirit Fest. Love, Summer"

ICELANDERS CREATE LIVING FOOD IRIS MANDALA

The patterns of the universe are reflected everywhere, in the snowflake, the grain of sand, the water crystal, the spiraling plant, the growing seed, the shell and now in a lentil living food pie. Congratulations, School of Natural Medicine Health Master students in Reykjavik, Iceland, on a first in the universe - a Lymphatic Sensitive iris constitution type combined with radii soleris radiating from the center and pigmentations, all beautifully displayed with cut vegetables. I can tell these students have embodied the teachings!!! Beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I am sure it was delicious.

BEAUTIFUL RAW LIVING FOOD SITE INSPIRING

My daughter forwarded this site to me and I was thrilled when I explored it as I remembered what England was like when I moved there in 1977, everything cooked beyond imagination, cups of tea all day long and tons of sweets - enough to create all the health problems I worked with for 12 years. I was part of the alternative medicine expansion in the UK and now the same thing is happening with raw and living food - wonders never cease. Enjoy the explore!  http://www.detoxyourworld.com      <http://www.shazzie.com>      I love to discover wonderful women doing creative work, loving what they do and making this world a better place, what we here at SNM are all about - create the work, life and world you want with love.  Love, life and liberty, Shazzie says and here is some fun info about her - read on!!!
