How and Why I got started with Arbonne

I am a registered nurse who specialized in Woman's Health and Cardiac Health, including Intensive Care, ER, Teaching,   Home Health Care Education and Administration.

I initially started selling Arbonne because I was so impressed with the pure ingredients and passionate about educating my friends about the aging ingredients in american skin care. Mineral oil, petroleum, waxes, animal by-products, alkaline soap, acetone, SD40 alcohol, and artificial dyes and perfumes.  I discovered that expensive is not necessarily better. Please read your labels!

I have maintained my nursing license with education in the areas of natural medicine and alternative therapies. Unfortunately, medicine in the US is still lacking in areas of natural health and homeopathic remedies.  We are a pharmaceutical driven society with a focus on the treatment of symptoms versus prevention. That is why I am so excited sharing with you the information I've learned about natural progesterone and other herbal remedies.

I started selling PhytoProlief progesterone cream when Arbonne introduced it in 2000. Even though I had worked in women's health for many years, I knew nothing about progesterone cream.  I knew that HRT was prescribed to millions of women and that it had some negative side effects, but like many women in and out of the medical profession, I did not know the extent of the side effects. When patients would ask for an alternative to taking HRT, the only thing I could recommend were dietary changes and phytoestrogens.

As soon as Arbonne introduced the progesterone cream, I started searching for all the information I could find. I bought Dr. Lee's books. The more I read, the more I discovered how little I knew!  I did not know the difference between progesterone and progestin! I did not know how much the use of estrogen and progestins increased the risks of uterine and breast cancer as well as a host of other diseases! I did not know that Premarin is the number one selling drug in this country and that it is implicated with much of women's health problems and discomforts! I did not know that menopause is a billion dollar industry for doctors, hospitals and pharmaceutical companies. I discovered that as much as 90% of the hysterectomies done each year are unnecessary surgeries and that twice as many women in their 20's and 30's are hysterectomized as are women in their 50's and 60's! I decided to start educating others! We have a long way to go and women need to work together, to educate ourselves and then others.

I have a passion for educating women about health and the risks involved with toxic chemicals we slather on the largest organ of our bodies - our skin. I can provide entertaining information to groups of women in a home setting as well as large audiences. 

Too many people will get cancer this year. We have to consciously decide to eat better, exercise, and examine carefully what doctors may prescribe. We must be cautious of the pharmaceutical adds on TV and dig deeper into the harmful side effects.  Please request an audio tape on natural progesterone or toxin awareness.

My purpose is to contribute to the lives of others.   I am blessed to have found Arbonne's Business opportunity to reach so many.  I welcome you to join our team.  We have a system for success so that you can create the life of your dreams and have the freedom and flexibility of doing it from home!  Please contact me with your questions and/or ideas on educating others. And please take care of you!
