About the Instructor Anabel:

Anabel was born and raised in DC/MD/VA area.  She attended UDC in pursuit of a Nursing degree however was forced to leave the program just six months shy of graduating because of  her battle with chronic lyme disease. After several failed attempts to treat her condition/ailments with traditional western medicine approaches, Anabel's personal healing journey lead her to take matters into her own hands, focusing on holistic alternatives & modalities. She was able to beat the odds with astounding results & decided to take a leap of faith into a new career path. In 2013, she pursued the Holistic Health Care program at Washington Institute of Natural Medicine in Washington, DC, then attained  her certification and moved to Hawaii. After several years she has decided to return to her roots here in the DC Metropolitan area, and be of service to the local community; empowering, educating & heightening awareness on the benefits of maintaining a harmonious relationship between mind, body, & spirit for optimum health & wellness.
