About Tami

I am a very compassionate, positive, easy-going, and bubbly person that helps uplift people. When we don't feel ourselves, it is often scary. I like to listen, be super attentive to needs and likes, create solutions, and move forward with hope. My self- motivation often inspires others to do and be the best version of themselves. I self-cared my own alternative cancer recovery. I also cared for my mother with both conventional and alternative cancer care. My desire in being a home health companion is to give people the hope and tools to gain back health and/or live with quality of life. I like to bring the sunshine and am proud that I maintain a very healthy lifestyle physically, mentally, and emotionally. I can provide additional well-rounded healthy lifestyle services that include: nutrition, exercise, positive thinking, meditation, sound healing, lifestyle coaching, and lots of smiles and laughs!
