From the biggest skepticto your practitioner.

For as long as I can remember back I always had stomach pains that would stop me in my track and force me to catch my breath. So many foods would upset my stomach, making it more difficult to eat as time went on. It was shortly after I had my appendix out on Christmas Eve 1996, that everything came crashing down with my health. In 1997, at the young age of 12, I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis.

At that time, not much was known about this "disease" and being in a small town, you sure didn’t have the same kind of care and treatment plan like you would now. Over the years I was subjected to non-stop procedures and was in consistent, excruciating pain. I had been treated and/or seen by five specialists and our family Doctor. They put me on every possible medication they could think of and nothing ever seemed to work. As the years went by, my health drastically deteriorated, but that didn’t stop me from wanting to help others as I was accepted into a Registered Nursing Program in 2004. Unfortunately, that same year was the year my health hit rock bottom and I was unable to attend College.

At the young age of 21, I was 79 pounds, had received two blood transfusions and was going for bi-weekly iron injections. Anything from steroids, several dozen pills a day to questionable methods of delivery - I feel like we did it all. Suffering constantly with low blood pressure, I remember passing out at the hospital for endless hours and my numbers would barely register.

When you see your family doctor with the tears in his eyes, telling your mom that there was nothing more they could do for me unless they removed my entire large intestine; it’s a different kind of feeling. The part where your stomach hits the floor and fear floods your mind.

Being the amazing parent they were, my Mom and Dad wanted to try one last option and told me about this Natural Path Doctor who had helped others like myself. My first initial reaction was "No way! I’m not going to go see some quack doctor!" My parents pleaded for me for weeks to go see him. I finally agreed to go; but not for me. It was for them, because I could see the pain in their eyes every time I said no. To be honest, at that time I was okay with giving up, to not go any further in life. I had spent the majority of it fighting day after day, I was tired and did not want to keep doing this anymore. This was the first time I was introduced to a test similar to that of the Meridian Scan Analysis."

I will never forget the day when the "Doctor" walked in with a stack of papers telling me how sick I was based on what they had found with the Vega Test. Rolling my eyes at him, I said thanks Dr. anyone can see I am sick! I am 79lbs and glow in the dark I am so pale! My Mom sitting next to me gave the look to remind me why we were there. Dr. Yawrenko told me, you don’t have to believe in what I do, but just try it. I promise, I will have you better before know it. And so with great hesitation we proceeded forward. It took years for me to realize after the fact that it was a journey not chosen by me, but by some divine intervention. Little did I know what the universe had in store for me. Looking back now I can see how young, dumb and naive I was to think that there was no other option for me and allopathic treatment was the only way to heal.

Within a year of starting his program with the Vega testing and some additional treatments with the late Dr. David Yawrenko, I started experiencing life like never before. Instead of going to the washroom 40-60 times a day, it decreased to 10-20 times. My bleeding completely stopped. I was able to keep food down and started gaining weight; I even had color to my face! The best part of it all was when I was able to walk upright again! For many years, I was hunched over as the pain was so intense, I couldn’t stand up straight.

At first I made my excuses as to why I was getting better. It must have been the beautiful weather, last nights sleep or the birds chirping; this is why I was healing. I think a part of me was scared to admit the stuff that tasted like tree sap was helping, as nothing had improved my health like this before and I was worried it would stop and I would go back to my daily suffering.

I remember one day trying to get something done around the house and realized I forgot something downstairs; so I quickly ran down the stairs and back up just as fast. When I got to the top of the stairs my Mom had this look on her face; so of course I ask why she was looking at me that way?

She said "You just ran up those stairs." And of course I say yes, so?

She said again "No, you just RAN up those stairs!!" In which I said yes, waiting to see what she was getting at.

It was then how she reminded me the last time I tried to go up the stairs, I had collapsed. It was at that moment when my parents moved my bedroom upstairs as I couldn’t physically walk them on my own anymore. I went from that, to running up the stairs?! I am sure you can imagine the tears that started to flow as I realized that I truly was getting better and this overwhelming excitement ran through my body like never before! "It’s working, it’s actually working!"

Within a few short years, Dr. Yawrenko managed to get me into complete remission and I have not been on medication since then.

I went from being the biggest skeptic of Alternative Medicines, to dedicating my life to helping others who are struggling with their health. I decided to officially open my business in Spring of 2018 and within a few months I had received a call from that very same clinic asking if I would like to work there. It was a dream come true and I had the honor of being a team member, working with the late Dr. Yawrenko at the New Life Clinic. The very doctor who saved my life over 15 years ago and opened my eyes to a whole new world of healing. As I journey on, I could not be more honored or excited to offer a more advanced Meridian Scan Analysis to my patients, while offering additional therapeutic treatments. For those who can relate to what I went though, that are just like how I once was; struggling with their health, tired of living everyday in pain, tired of not being heard and feeling like you have ran out of options, we are here for you! We see you, we hear you and we look forward to helping you feel like you again!
