Following over 25 years of experience as a registered nurse, combined with a life-long interest in health-related issues and natural approaches to regaining health, I decided it was time begin writing and sharing. I established Impact Health Publishing in 2010 in order to self-promote my health and wellness books—available on Amazon and world-wide from Book Depository. Currently, I have an interest in establishing a relationship with an established publishing house and transition from being self-published to being published and promoted by other entities. My website allows access to selected chapters from my books and to articles I have written, as well as provides links to Amazon and Book Depository for book purchasing.
