... And with the budding trees and blooming flowers also comes the pollen... so Allergy Season is slowly approaching. 🤧

So this is a Friendly Reminder to come in and stock up on your allergy supplements for yourself or your family! And if anyone is needing Allergy Resets, call to schedule an appointment before your particular pollen trigger starts arriving. 🪻🌷🌾🌳

Also we are doing a small Spring Promo:
If you are an established client and you mention our "Allergy Season Post" when you book an appointment, you'll get 10% off the office visit fee (supplements not included)! {This offer lasts until June 4th.}

Due to the extreme weather conditions and massive snow accumulations, the office will be closed on Monday. Local officials have advised the public not to travel unless you absolutely have to! Please stay safe everyone!

We are devastated to share that our most amazing Bridget passed away at 7:01 this morning. She was at home, with her family by her side holding her hand until the very end.

We want to thank everyone who has sent us all the heartfelt messages, cards, and voicemails for her in her final days. We read and played all of them for her to hear. The love you’ve shown for her touched the whole family in ways we can’t possibly describe.

The office will be closed for one more week and will open again Monday, Feb 23rd. We thank you all for your patience and understanding as our family tries to navigate through this very difficult time.

Hello all,

It is with a very heavy heart we provide the following update on Bridget.

A few short months ago, we found a growth on her pancreas. Biopsy revealed a highly aggressive form of cancer with “an acquired genetic mutation”. Meaning something, most likely a virus (like CoVID), added a gene to these already aggressive cancer cells that makes them 100 times more rapid growing and resistant to any kind of potential treatment. It is considered 100% fatal. Although we caught this early and before she even had any symptoms, she only responded favorably to all our efforts for a short time. We have been quiet about this as we fought the good fight before making it public. We were hoping to announce by spring that she beat this. Unfortunately, the genetic mutation kicked into hyper drive and the cancer is now everywhere. She is now in hospice. At the current pace, it is estimated she has a few weeks, maybe a month.

She will soon need around the clock care and we will be closing the office in a week or two so we can spend her final days with her. Please keep her in your prayers for a peaceful and pain free end. As you may imagine, we are all devastated and grief stricken beyond anything we could ever put into words.

Thank you for all your prayers/well wishes, kind support, and understanding as we navigate this very difficult time.


A personal message from Bridget:

Hello all.

I am sad to be leaving you. My love and gratitude to every one of you. I feel so very blessed to have so many cherished clients who gave me the opportunity to help with their health goals over the last 25 years. There are truly so many of you!

I hope that this loss will not shake your faith in holistic medicine. 29 years ago, I was given 3 to 6 months to live. Alternative medicine gave me these extra 29 years. And despite this loss, I still believe that holistic medicine has much to offer in the vast majority of cases. I have been training my daughter, June, since she was child. And with this last decade, she has acquired skills and knowledge beyond my own and became my teacher and mentor as well. June has been absolutely amazing through this final journey. I am so blessed to have her and Dale in my life. I am certain I’m leaving you all in excellent hands. Though I have no doubt she’ll feel my loss keenly for the rest of her life, it gives me comfort to know that she will be carrying on my legacy.

God bless you all!

Hello everyone,

We know it’s been a while since we’ve given an update on how Bridget is doing. We wish this post brings good news, but unfortunately this is more or less of a “no news is bad news” post.

Bridget’s vision is not improving (at the moment, the lack of vision in the right eye is having days where the symptoms are worse). There is still no prognosis on whether or not this will improve, so we continue to put one foot in front of the other and take things day by day. 🙁

We still want to thank everyone who have made donations to help with personal medical funds so far. 💜

We still want to thank everyone who has come in to have June be of help in your health needs (you have helped us keep the business doors open). 🫶

We still thank everyone who has had us send Bridget their best wishes and hugs. 🫂💕

Thank you for continuing to keep us in your thoughts and prayers. 🩷

Hello all,
Just an update on Bridget’s vision loss. She was blessed to get an appointment with a neurological ophthalmologist last Tuesday. (It’s a rare specialty that most people wait years to get in for a consult).
The doctor and her staff were very thorough and spent nearly 4 hours analyzing everything about Bridget’s eyes and optic nerves. Unfortunately, the news was not what we had all been hoping for. Although her optic nerve is now stable, the vascular damage and scaring to the retina and macula remains and there are no options for repair. The right eye in particular is painfully light sensitive and has scarring that is pulling and causing a constant burning pain that is making sleep difficult. The only option at this stage is to avoid putting any kind of strain on the eyes, rest as much as she can and hope that there is some kind of improvement in the next 4 to 6 months. The probability of her ever recovering full vision and being able to return to work has been deemed ‘highly unlikely’ at this point.
Of course this is not the first time Bridget has been told she is beyond help and with Dale’s unwavering love and support, by the grace of God she managed to heal herself. So, she, Dale and June continue to pursue all holistic avenues and praying that her sight eventually returns.
A huge “Thank you!” to everyone for your prayers and especially those that donated to the GiftSendGo fund. Seven months without Bridget’s income has been as devastating as the vision loss and sadly, getting on disability is a very long and complicated process that takes years when you own your own business.
So, THANK YOU!! And God bless.

Update for THURSDAY April 3rd:

The office is still non-functional. So unfortunately, we are still closed. 😔

Power does seem to be getting restored around us, so we're hoping to be back up and functional by the weekend.

As an added insult-to-injury: June has come down sick this morning. 🤧
(We expected this after the latest bout of cold and flu swept through our office with everyone coming and going from Spring Break).

We were already planning to be out of the office next week in preparation for this happening, so we will be still be closed until April 14th while we assess the damage at the office from the storm, and let June rest and recover.

This once in a generation storm has certainly made a mess out of everyone here in Northern Michigan. And with yesterday's storm devastating the southern half of the state, we all seem to be in a state of chaos.

We are hoping everyone is staying safe and wishing everyone well. 🙏

Update for WEDNESDAY April 2nd:

Power won't be coming back as planned. We had heard from local law enforcement that we most likely won't see power restored until the end of the week. 😭

There is also another winter storm coming through tomorrow morning with more snow, freezing rain, and winds as high as 40mph. Officials are urging everyone to hunker down until the system passes and don't travel unless absolutely necessary.

In the meantime, the office is still closed with no way of calling out to contact anyone on our schedule (except here on Facebook). 😢 We deeply apologize for this.

Please stay home and stay safe! 🙏

We reiterate that we will call everyone on the schedule as soon as power and phone lines are restored.
