Hello, I'm
Mena

We were living our happily ever after, successful careers as artists. We created a family through adopting two beautiful daughters from China.  Life was filled with joy, working from home, and loving our work.

Then on Ash Wednesday of 2009, on the heels of the economic downturn our lives changed dramatically.

Being independently employed, my days were very scheduled, balancing a marriage, raising two daughters, creating and producing a line of jewelry, traveling to shows to market my work, volunteering as the coordinator of Families with Children from China, and the many other hats we wear as mothers AND the balance of taking care of ourselves! 

That morning, I was on my way to my health club as I did religiously 3 times a week, when, without warning, I fell to the floor unconscious for 30 minutes. 

My husband, a 10 year volunteer of our local ambulance corps, drove me to our local hospital. 
After 90 minutes of tests and a bill for $9800 I was heli-transported to Westchester Medical hospital. 

A sudden seizure lead to brain surgery to remove 2 of 3  benign tumors in my brain, aka meningiomas.

After the surgeon removed the tumors, (one as big as a grapefruit) he told my husband that I might not talk for a while.  As soon as I woke up from the surgery I was talking and I haven’t shut up since!

My independence was compromised. Our careers took a downturn along with the physical & emotional trauma to our family.  I had a new “Normal.”

Life was a challenge. With trust in western medicine that saved my life,  I went from one specialist & medication to the next.  Even though I could talk, it took time for me to organize my thoughts.  My body was falling apart because my brain was so traumatized. The messages that normally travel from the brain to the rest of the body were compromised.. The weak areas of past injuries were magnified. I developed arthritis & a torn meniscus from being hit by a motorcycle 15 years prior to my brain surgery.  I now needed the support of a cane.

My endocrinologist diagnosed me as hypothyroid. Despite medication saving my life, multiple side effects hindered my recovery.

After two years on a medical roller coaster I decided to seek alternative care with cranial sacral therapy and reiki. This is where I met Carole Hurst who introduced me to Shaklee‘s Vitalizer.

With the prescription for synthroid in one hand and the box of Vitalizer in the other hand I visited my GP. ​ He was familiar with Shaklee and recommended to take the Vitalizer instead of the synthroid. 

Six weeks later my blood levels were normal. Within two months I did not need my cane, I did not need to take 2 naps a day nor did I need knee surgery as was suggested by 2 orthopedic surgeons!

Within a year I was able to replace my medications with Shaklee‘s RX for a Healthier Life. ​ It includes: ​ The Prove It Challenge, (A multi pak of supplements called the Vitalizer, & a protein shake), Nutriferon, for the immune system and Vivix to help repair cell damage and slow down the key mechanism of aging.

At the time, I thought the protein shake was to give you more ENERGY. ​ ​ I did not realize the shake was also for WEIGHT LOSS and as an added perk I lost 20 pounds!

I had no intention of becoming a Wellness Coach, however coming out of church one day someone looked at me and said:
"Mena you look great! Your hair grew back, you look like you lost weight! ​ Where's your cane?”

Remember the movie, ​ WHEN HARRY MET SALLY: ​ ​“I’ll have whatever she’s having!”

With confidence and pleasure I open the door for others to learn how changing their supplements can change their life.

Especially today, as we experience the uncertainty of our lives that threaten our health with the coronavirus pandemic, we can take control and build our immune system and take better care of ourselves.  By sharing this with others we can help them create a healthier life and in return receive a great satisfaction of helping someone thrive rather than just survive and also receive a financial benefit!   It's a win win for everyone!

This website will give you the tools to learn how to live a healthier life whether you choose to do this part time to help yourself and your family or whether you choose to embrace it as a career change.  You will have fun learning how to navigate the jungle of the internet!

I am looking to connect and work with like-minded people.   What we have to offer is so needed by everyone espeically right now.
