I’d like to share with you a little about me, the story about how I got here, and why I am so passionate about helping you Thrive.
Ever since I can remember, I have leaned toward natural health and nutrition, and I credit my German grandparents with instilling a budding interest in taking care of my body and soul. Some of my earliest and most cherished memories include ‘running’ the boulevard with my Opa, as well as helping my Oma tend her garden and make homemade sauerkraut. I carry these special memories close to my heart, and I aim to instill these values in my child every day.
Throughout my life, I had almost always eaten, supplemented and exercised according to the most current version of healthy that was available to me. I was the one preaching to my friends and family about eating well and working out, scheduling yoga dates instead of coffee dates, offering digestive enzymes at the dinner table, and even giving supplements as Christmas gifts! Looking back, I wonder just how it took me so long to turn this obsession into a vocation!
After earning my bachelor’s degree, I took a high-stress job in an optical store and trained as a Licensed Optician. Even with (what I thought was) a healthy diet and countless supplements, nagging health issues persisted, and the meds I was prescribed didn’t sit right with me. That’s when I began exploring alternative therapies on my own. A turning point came when a friend told me a live blood microscopist was visiting town for the weekend. Since this was rare in our area, I jumped at the chance.
The live evidence that microscopy provided in real time was both shocking and motivating. I was given some nutritional suggestions by the microscopist and sent on my way. Even though another alternative health practitioner had already told me the same information about my health before, seeing it in front of me made it real! Inspired by this new evidence found in my own blood, I followed the advice of the microscopist, and I showed significant progress at my next visit!
When I finally acknowledged that working as an Optician wasn’t truly fulfilling, I turned to the wellness world. My experience with live blood microscopy sparked a deeper passion, leading me to train in both microscopy and holistic nutrition. The journey wasn’t linear, but I believe the scenic route was divinely guided, and meant to benefit everyone I now support, including you.
Today, I’m working in a field I’m deeply passionate about, and I truly can’t get enough. I’m constantly expanding my knowledge in nutrition and alternative therapies so I can offer the highest level of care. Supporting the health of my clients, my family, and myself is incredibly fulfilling. Having walked this path myself, I believe it’s my calling to share what I’ve learned, and it’s an honour to guide you as you take empowered steps to feel better, faster.
Thank you for reading. I look forward to sharing my passion with you and your loved ones!
Yours in good health,
Carly Erber, NNCP
