about

I am 48 years old (yes that's old compared to some of you).


I have worked in nursing and/or healthcare management positions for 24 years. Primarily OB, Neonatal, Mental Health, Occupational Health and Geriatrics. In Jan 2008 I started my own business to board horses and do equine/human education. I am also a certified dog trainer.


I've been around the block so to speak and seem to be always helping others. I've been told that the reason people seek me out for advice is that I am approachable and caring. But on the same token even though I consider the person's feelings. I tell it like I see it. I've dealt with people in trouble with the law, dysfunctional families such as those with abuse & marriage problems. Not to mention problems with employees and employers.


I don't ever claim to know it all, and always keep an open mind.

A cool shower--with water running over your skin, and no scrubbing with a washcloth will be fine. If you can take ibuprofen (ask your pharmacist) it will help with the pain. The sunburn medications that contain "cain" such as solarcain that you can apply to the skin work by reducing the pain (similar to topical anesthesia. Drink a lot of water, wear soft cotton clothes, and sleep on old sheets that have been washed many times because they are softer.
