Judy is the Director of Student Services & Academic Standards at Kingdom College of Natural Health (KCNH).  She was an instructor with Trinity School, from 2007-2023, where she was responsible for curriculum development and special projects, and taught the flower essence curriculum as well as naturopathic history, legalities, herbology, and business basics.

She holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in English, theatre, and secondary education, as well as professional credentials in Automotive Systems Engineering. Since 2000, she has earned designations in Bach Flowers, Herbology, Naturopathy, and recently completed her PhD with the KCNH AHPLEX program.  Her original goal was to complete an Ed.D. to become a school superintendent but she does not regret changing paths. She states that she has gathered a broad range of experience and valuable education, and wouldn’t trade those for anything!

In her hometown of Logansport, Indiana, she owned a natural products, for 25 years. The store rebranded two years ago and is now dba GoodLife Vintage, featuring curated antique and vintage glassware, furniture, clothing, toys, curiosities and more. She and her husband own two older homes. The one in which they live is Judy’s family home, built in 1920. The other, where they previously resided, is an 1880s Queen Anne, being prepared to sell to another historic preservation enthusiast! Both homes are designated historic and are on the local and national registers.

Judy and her husband, Rick, have been active in humane rescue efforts for several decades. They are recognized locally for their success with Bulldog rescue and have accepted nine surrenders, since 1995. They rework diet, hydration, supplementation and enzymes, emotions, and provide general holistic support, with the help of area veterinarians. Their success rate has been impressive, and they are currently loving caregivers and doggie parents to Norm, an Olde English Bulldogge, who was surrendered to the local shelter at just nine months of age (now just four years old.)

Since mid-2019, Judy has been actively involved in tutoring and mentoring students and graduates in the natural health field.  She has served as an academic advisor and contributor to the ANWPB Natural Medicine/Naturopathic exam.  She is available to mentor those who would like a little insight into aspects of the exam and can be found here.
