Hello! I am Samantha Troutman, and I live in North Carolina. I was an EMT for several years, with a basic background in conventional medicine. In recent years, I was introduced to holistic and herbal medicine. It was a pleasant surprise to find someone looking for the root cause of a problem, rather than simply treating the symptoms. I have always held a love for the medical field / helping others, and I am very exited to take this course and begin applying all that I learn to every day life and beyond. The ability to use the information for our four legged friends as well is an exciting added bonus.
