The Beautiful Journey to Wellness!
Toledo City Paper: Women in Business 2019
Claudia was recently interviewed by Toledo City Paper as a feature in their piece “Women In Business 2019”
What do you do?
I am proud to share 45 years’ experience in the business of natural health and wellness through mindful living, self-empowerment and love, not fear. I teach the tools that nature offers us and the power they offer to facilitate our body’s own ability to heal through balance and wholeness of the individual.
What’s one thing every entrepreneur should ask themselves?
Every entrepreneur should ask themselves if they believe in what they do, are they self-motivated and do they understand business? It takes all three qualities to be successful.
What woman do you most admire?
The woman I respect most is my mother because she lived by what she believed and always walked her talk, even when it was not the popular thing to do. She embraced her health every day, always from a place of love and care. She understood and prioritized the important role that food has in our lives and for our health and I’m so grateful.
How, if at all, has being a woman impacted your career?
The best advice I’ve ever received when it comes to business was to always know the numbers, understand the margins and to stay focused on what I wanted to accomplish. The best life advice I ever received was to live from my heart and stay focused on my own truth.
What’s your professional philosophy?
Business should always be based on integrity.
How do you stay motivated?
What motivates me has always been the love for my family, keeping faith in the goodness of people and being blessed to witness thousands of people reclaim their health safely and effectively through dedication and love.

Introducing Health Foods by Claudia
Powering your immune system
The flu epidemic of 1918 was a terrible time in our human history; an estimated 50+ million people worldwide were the casualties. Because of this, it’s certainly easy to understand why such a fear factor has developed in regard to the flu. Some of the greatest scientists at that time were working diligently to understand what exactly was causing such harm; originally they thought it was a bacteria but with dedication and years time, they came to understand it was a virus. It wasn’t until the 1940’s that the first flu vaccine was approved for the military, then for civilians.
Science helps us understand not only the world around us, but also the microscopic world our eyes can’t see, and because of science…we’re all the wiser. But with knowledge about disease there should be a responsibility to uphold truth and to embrace ALL avenues for improved human health…not just what drug companies produce.
It saddens me deeply that in this day and age with all the brilliant knowledge that abounds…the only message being sent to the American public from doctors, public officials and policy makers is to get a flu shot…that the flu vaccine is our only hope to protect us from the flu. But if everyone were being honest and using some level of integrity… thanks to science we also have a greater understanding about herbs, their incredible properties and the power-packed protection they offer us…even when it comes to a virus.
If every public official really wanted to sound the alarm to protect the public, they would be telling everyone to do everything in our power and use ALL the tools that are available to strengthen us…beginning with Nature. Probiotics and D3 should be top of the list, and when you throw in all the herbs with incredible powerful anti viral activity… black elderberry, olive leaf, garlic, ginger, oregano oil, Echinacea, astragalus, cat’s claw, licorice root… it’s all pure power for our immune system… and best of all… safely and effectively. Being proactive with our health, especially in this day and age is a wise thing to do, every day for everyone…it just makes good sense.
