About Tamara

Desire To Heal is about my passion for self-empowered healing of body, mind and spirit. I believe it is when we become empowered in our own healing process that we have the best chance of overcoming dis-ease.  Self empowerment means proactively taking charge of our lives and no longer asking someone else to heal us, but making the decision to be instrumental in our own healing process.  I also believe wholeness is our Divine birthright and brings a sense of peace within even if symptoms of disease continue to exist.

I was diagnosed with lupus in 1983 following two years of searching for the source of my perplexing symptoms.  About 15 years later I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia set off by a severe lupus flare.  Since then other diagnosis have been added such as celiac, IBS, bipolar disorder and inflammatory osteoarthritis.  In reality, I was always a sickly child and probably had lupus and fibromyalgia going back to childhood.

It has not been an easy road and I placed myself in the hands of doctors and pharmaceuticals for many years.  The result was that I became more and more ill.  Out of my control and somewhat hopeless, the whole process was exhausting and frightening. Today, I still see doctors and I do still take some medication.  However, I no longer depend solely on that to “cure” me.  While I may or may not find a cure, I am now empowered to heal my life and myself – body, mind and spirit.
