epigenetic

In my early 20’s, I guest-starred on that classic Star Trek episode entitled “The Apple.” Back then, I never dreamed that holistic health care and anti-aging for both people and animals would be a profound calling for me. I never dreamed that one day I would write a blog and four books on this subject.
Of course, I couldn’t foresee co-producing a documentary film with my husband about the enormous need for the return of the sacred feminine principle. This film project, Femme: Women Healing the World, would spotlight female empowerment.
Star Trek has that epigenetic (that which rises above the genome) magic about it. It inspired me to believe that through all good things, it is possible to not just be, but to become higher versions of ourselves. It seems to have inspired many young men and women to have the courage to “boldly go where no man [or woman] has gone before.”
I certainly got that message loud and clear!
When I married my beloved husband this message of encouragement became crystal clear as my personal mission statement was redefined into one of partnership.
Through loving Nazim, I learned that I’m my happiest and most fulfilled when I’m being of value to him and the health of others. My own Celestial Trek merged with his aspirational artistic state and manifested itself in what we today refer to as The Art of Wellness.
Our daily job description, if you will, is to share valuable alternative health care protocols everywhere and in every way we can. We want to enhance the body, mind, and spirit, of each life we touch. We take this mission statement very seriously, and it travels with us on our newly defined Celestial Trek.
