With a master's degree in health education and promotion, Dee has had several personal and professional experiences in the conventional healthcare system which inspired her to co-found Noble Alkhemy. With 12 years experience in the health field, Dee has seen firsthand how Western medicine places focus on one aspect of health: physical health. Too often she has seen how it misses the other equally important components that contribute to one's healing such as mental health, social health, financial health, emotional health, and spiritual health. Dee enjoys sharing her passion for the natural world with her community. More than knowledge, she equips her students with strategies of practical "alkhemy", ancient wisdom, positivity, and energy medicine to create healing.
