About Life with Cal

My interest in natural healing and the incredible workings of the human body began to develop at a young age. I credit this to my father who practiced holism when the word holistic was rarely used. I chuckle, because I was the child who was horrified at having to put kelp flakes on my food, wheat germ on my cereal, and use oils for pretty much everything.

I created Life with Cal soon after the death of my father in 2010. It started out as a personal blog – a place where I could share feelings, thoughts, and stories. The page continues to evolve as do I, continuously gaining knowledge related to maximizing well being for all. I became certified in Aromatherapy and the use of essential oils in 2019, and I continue to incorporate them into my daily life and yoga practice. 

My work as a Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse has given me the opportunity to work alongside some of the most wonderful medical professionals in Psychiatry today. My patients are a testament to the courage and perseverance of the human spirit and I love learning and working with them as we all journey toward optimum wellness.
