About LaShay
In 2005, she discovered a bartholin cyst. Her first thought went to cancer since it ran in the family. Her grandmother died in 2002 from stomach cancer. She was one of 13 siblings and there are 2 siblings left. All have died from some type of cancer: leukemia, breast, lung, liver, stomach, etc. LaShay thought she was just destined to die from some type of cancer. Nothing like going to the bathroom and feeling something that shouldn’t be there! She visited her Primary Care Physician (PCP) who explained to her what it was: a bartholin cyst. The allopathic medicine solution: puncture the cyst, drain it and suture it. Wait…What?!? Talk about high tailing it out of the office! After asking friends for second holistic opinions, her journey led her to the Colorado School of Traditional Chinese Medicine and there she learned about acupuncture and the true benefits of Chinese Medicine. After two acupuncture sessions, along with Chinese herbs and formulas, the cyst was gone and she really understood the power of alternative medicine and how the body heals itself. Thus began her redirected journey from a pre-nursing degree to a holistic health degree!
