Carol Geeck
and Julie Smith, owners of Entirely
Natural LLC. |
William Shakespeare said "eyes are the window to
the soul." At Entirely Natural, the eyes are
just one window into the health and
susceptibilities of their owner.
Though you wouldn't know it to look at her,
Carol Geeck is in her 70s. It's apparent by
looking at her that she knows how to listen to
her body and provide what it needs to stay
healthy and vibrant; she looks years younger
than her count of birthdays, and radiates a
rosy, healthy glow.
Crippled from birth and having fought breast
cancer and won, she's well familiar with
traditional medicine, having spent countless
hour in physician's offices and in neurosurgery.
She even studied to be a surgical nurse in the
early 1960s.
But she happened to hear Dr. Bernard Jensen in a
health store speaking on "iridology," or
the practice of looking at the iris of the eye to
distinguish between healthy systems and organs
in the body and those that are overactive,
inflamed, or distressed.
Carol stayed to listen.
Through iridology, practitioners say they can
tell a person's susceptibility to certain
illnesses, indicate past health issues, and
prevent future health problems.
"You can see all the body systems through the
eyes," Carol said. "You can tell genetic
strengths and weaknesses, and adjust your diet
and lifestyle so potential problems never become
manifest."
Carol left impressed by what she heard from
Jensen, also known as the Father of Iridology.
She undertook to learn more, and came to study
several other forms of alternative medicine.
In the nearly 30 years since, Carol has grown in
her belief that modern medicine is more focused
on treating and suppressing symptoms rather than
bringing about good health. She regained good
health as she studied naturopathic forms of
medicine and grew in her conviction that good
health, not illness, is normal; that God
designed our bodies wondrously, and set in place
mechanisms to let us heal.
She became a long-time member of the American
Naturopathic Medical Association, earned
certifications by the National Board of
Naturopathic Examiners and the National
Iridology Practitioners Association, and earned
the distinguished title of Native American
Medicine Woman.
Julie Smith earned her BS degree in nutrition
science and strength training and she's working
to become a naturopathic doctor. She's an
ACE-certified personal trainer and a Rainbow
facilitator.
She met Carol at one of her classes on essential
oils two years ago.
"I was hooked," Julie said, "I had to learn
more."
Carol became her mentor, she said, and she
remains intrigued by all Carol knows.
"You can give kids a head start by recognizing
genetic conditions early and adapting to them,"
she said. "It's interesting learning about our
bodies, and knowing you don't have to get sick
to see that something is wrong."
Through their association was born Entirely
Natural LLC, 6389 Bonner Street in downtown
Bonners Ferry, dedicated to educating people on
several different levels on maintaining good
health, on the body's awesome ability to heal
itself, and to recognizing potential health
issues and learning to deal with them before
trouble strikes.
They offer a variety of services; nutritional
counseling, essential oils, iridology, aroma
therapy and more, to make life better as well as
classes to impart a wide range of knowledge.
While Carol and Julie have thus far determined
the topic of the classes, they'd like to hear
what you are interested in, and to deliver a
class to answer your specific interests. Their
goal is to provide the knowledge to empower you
to understand what your body is telling you,
Services at Entirely Natural LLC are by
appointment; you can call Carol at (520)
604-6683, or Julie at (208) 255-9956. |
