Why are you a Cannabis Educator?
I am a Cannabis Educator because I believe that cannabis has so many powerful benefits to help reduce and treat diseases, ailments, and conditions.
How has cannabis impacted your life?
Cannabis has played a role in my life since the age of 16. I used it occasionally during high school. I became a mom at the tender age of 18.
During that time, I was a full-time parent and college student. Cannabis helped me to stay focused and raise my children.
My oldest son was killed in 2013, and I began to use cannabis to help me deal with stress and anxiety. I suffer from chronic pain, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress.
As time went on, I realized how much cannabis helped to bring order to and smooth the rough corners of my life. I have been a legal cannabis patient since February 2022.

Share a testimonial from a client.
“Yakima has been an inspiration and blessing to my family and me.
My mom and I met her at a health fair, and she performed a bio scan on me and told me how my body was functioning inside. I suffer from painful periods.
She explained to me what the endocannabinoid system was and the many ways cannabis could assist me with my pain.
She also coached me through a 21-day cleanse that allowed my body to clear out the waste and the added nutrients needed to heal. Now I use a 1:1 ratio of CBD and THC to help me through the painful cycles.
She has now assisted not only me but my entire family on a pain-free and healthy lifestyle.”
