This turn of events led her to study natural medicine. While she was studying natural medicine, she continued her career as principal of a small private school for at risk students. This school was the last hope for parents whose children had lost their way through drug and alcohol abuse, violence, and truancy. Her only rule for the school was that all participants, students and faculty would treat each other with respect. This was the first time she saw the power of a heart-centered approach change the outcomes for many students.
