Just Start
It’s a funny thing what fear and complacency will do to someone. As I sit here writing this, I look back on the past few years and wonder why I waited until now.  Why didn’t I just start back then; I mean writing a blog is easy right? 

You see I’ve had this burning drive inside me to write for many years now; to share our life, our journey to where we are today. But I didn’t. I couldn’t. Every time I’d think about it, all the doubt, all the negative thoughts, all the what if’s, would flood my mind.  This is a new road, a new journey and with that comes a whole lot of road that hasn’t been traveled. The unfamiliarity is intimidating making the jump back on the road of comfort easy. As a result I’ve been stuck. Stuck on the same road with the same outcomes just surviving at life.

Until Today. 

Today I start. Today I am starting something that I have no idea how it will end or where it will take me but I am starting.  I will no longer be a prisoner to fear or be complacent with living a reactive life. My purpose here is so much more than that. 

So today with sweaty hands, stomach in my throat and doubts still ever present in my mind I start.

Meet Marlene Rankin

 
Hello and welcome!

I’m so glad you’ve stopped by to get to know more about me. As a devoted wife and loving mom of five incredible children, my life is full of love, laughter, and plenty of wonderful chaos. My journey in healthcare began when I became a registered nurse in 2006. I cherished the opportunity to care for my patients, and my heart's calling took a beautiful turn in 2010 when our son overcame asthma and allergies through natural healing methods.

This life-changing experience lit a passion within me for natural health, leading me towards a path where I could help others unlock their own potential for healing. I hold a deep-seated belief that our bodies are innately designed to heal themselves when given proper support. Since 2010, I've been on a never-ending journey of learning and growth, diving deep into various modalities through online classes, seminars, and countless books. Over the years, I have had the immense pleasure of helping hundreds of people transform their lives through education, empowerment, and various natural wellness solutions.

In 2023, I took a leap of faith and embraced a new chapter as I decided to leave my nursing career to focus on building my business full time while pursuing a degree as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine. This decision was fueled by my commitment to expanding my knowledge and sharing even more holistic approaches with those who seek guidance on their healing journey. 

My mission is to inspire, educate, and support you on your path to vibrant health. Whether you're a long-time natural health enthusiast or just beginning to explore the wonders of natural holistic living, I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

Yours in health,

Marlene Rankin RN, BSN, CRTS, LSHC,NHE
