As a result of her extensive experience as a Nurse, she realized the key to optimum health is prevention. She believes that many “modern day” diseases are preventable with a healthy lifestyle, and attitude. After working in the hospitals, Deborah knew that the hospital is no place for a sick person. Many of the procedures and tests were worse than the actual disease itself. She wished she could’ve helped these patients before they were so sick and assisted them to a better quality of life through education and support instead of giving comfort measures only.  She has enjoyed helping individuals become and stay healthy so much that she shifted her focus from saving lives to improving the quality of lives. She knows that it is the quality of life that matters and not the quantity. What is the point of living to be 100 years old when it is in ill health? Deb works with individuals who are ready to take personal responsibility for their own health and who are willing to make lifestyle changes to reach their personal health goals.

Deb is known to friends and family as a health enthusiast.  She has always had an interest in learning about health and nutrition. Her own health problems lead her to the realization that most issues can be improved by natural approaches. She chose the name Health Flow because she believes that your health is your most valuable asset. Health Flow is an educational based business that focuses on prevention and improved quality of life.
