Mary Jo has been involved in the study of holistic healing and health since 1967, and has worked in a variety of settings providing preventative health care education and consultation services to schools, churches, community health organization, and treatment facilities. She believes there is nothing that cannot be healed through nature, through love, and through God.

 

Her goal is to establish a natural health learning center, designed to help give folk medicine back to the folks! She wants to teach people to teach people to teach…ways that were taught long ago. Whole foods, free from chemicals, grown as created by God…herbs in the same manner…clean, fresh water and air…song, prayer, laughter, aroma, dance, creativity, sunshine and love! These are the ways to a healthier life. What Mary Jo wants is to remind people that these are gifts of healing that were given to ALL! We were created to be naturally healthy and well.

This vision is coming into existence through the creation of the Essentials of Life Holistic Enrichment Center in Hartville, Ohio. Please visit the website at www.essentials-of-life.org.
