MAY-JUNE 2001

From my work, as many of you do, I often encounter people who ask for advice about a variety of health problems. I do my best to help these people by accompanying them in their process. They confide in me and I listen to them, I recommend some changes in their eating habits and I suggest certain plants. Ultimately, I only propose and the client disposes. A little while ago, during my stay in Florida, as I was walking on the beach, a woman came up to me, took me in her arms and gave me a big hug and said: “Ms. Blouin, you have saved my life. Only a few months ago, when I went to see you, I thought that I was doomed and now I feel reborn!”. I answered back: “My goodness, dear madame, it is not me who saved you, but you who saved your life by taking yourself in hand. It is incumbent upon each of us to be responsible for taking ourselves in hand. If a person is not ready to make the changes needed, we can dispense the best of advice, recommend the best products, but to no avail. I often say that healing begins the day we decide ourselves to carry out the actions needed to succeed. On the other hand, I must admit that to receive such a testimony of relief and affection is very gratifying. What a rewarding craft, to be able to support people in their battle for better health.
