PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL HISTORY

Paula retired early from a successful career as an advanced software analyst and designer in the education, government, military, and financial industries. Not satisfied with the corporate atmosphere, she left after twenty-years to create a life lived according to her own principles of integrity and desire to help others.

Chronic health problems beginning in early childhood and never ending, spurred her to embrace every opportunity to work with medical doctors, even dentists and veterinarians, always seeking to find the root cause of her health problems.

Her health improvements came, however, not from allopathic, Western medicine, but from alternative arenas like massage, bio-energy, and natural medicine.

Self-taught, her desired career as an osteopathic doctor, one who incorporates many alternative and complementary methods, was out of her reach.

Having a natural gift for touch healing and a remarkably sensitive nature, Paula settled for massage therapy and used it to build a successful private practice as a holistic healer, working as closely as possible with the medical establishment, including six years with breast cancer patients, with the hope that one day alternative modalities will be part of standard, preventive care in her country of birth.
