I began my career in healthcare over 20 years ago in physical therapy. I quickly became interested in core stabilization programs becoming a professional pilates instructor in 2003. My interest in women's health issues continued with further education in myofascial release, craniosacral therapy and pelvic floor dysfunction.
While living in the Caribbean, I contracted Dengue Fever, Hemorrhagic Dengue fever and subsequently hemorrhagic shock. It was this life changing illness that lead me down the path of Oriental Medicine. I found Western Medicine falling short in restoring my health and recovery. I was lead to an oriental physician who quickly turned my life around.

Barefoot Healing has a perfect location near a Plano Park. You see beautiful trees & people walking their dogs, It is peaceful & soothing. Dr. Cooke treated me with accupunture for plantar fasciitis (foot pain). She was ever so gentle & professional. I only had one 30 minute treatment & the results amaze me. I don't hobble any longer! Thank you Barefoot Healing for your amazing energy & knowledge! I will be back.
