Kimberly Tower:  

During college I worked as a tour guide at Anheuser-Busch for 5 summers and as a lifeguard and swimming instructor. From 1992-94, I played volleyball at UNH. As a family studies major, I did interships in welfare, family mediation, crisis pregnancy counseling and as a parenting skills teacher in a homeless sheltor. I concluded that it is much easier to see real change in people when you are allowed to address the deeper heart issues at the root of the outward problems. To pursue this desire to see families made whole from the inside out, I got involved as a student leader and staff intern with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship at UNH and met my husband to be, Bill, who is a mechanical engineer. He is gifted in teaching, voice and guitar and enjoys organic gardening. We married in 1998 and our motto is "newlyweds forever". In 1999, Bill and I along with a group of students traveled to Honduras on a short term service project to dig trenches to lay pvc pipe and bring fresh spring water to a small village after their water supply was destroyed from Hurricane Mitch. Since that time we have tried to steward our resources wisely to give to organizations like World Help and Orphans First that put the "least of these" first. When we returned from Honduras, I enrolled in Bible college full-time and we bought our first 4-unit property. Our first son was born in 2002. We bought our second 4-unit property, and a year later our daughter was born at home. We sold the first property, invested our profits, sold high, and renovated the second property, including our swimming pool, where I have taught swimming lessons from home in the warm months. At UNH I began as a Biochem. major and switched to family studies because I didn't want to spend years in a lab when I could read the abstracts in minutes. People in that major like Kevin Haigis, who gladly got his assignments done early, were made for that line of study. I quickly discovered that working directly with people, rather than chemicals, is more important to me. However, I really appreciate the work that such people do and my biochem. background helps me understand research in whole food nutrition and holistic health care. This interest began after my father died of a heart attack and my grandfather died of cancer when I was 23. In short through lifestyle and nutritional changes that have included fasting, I've seen complete healing from ailments such as arthritis, grinding and clicks in my left shoulder, athletic induced asthma, sinusitis, bronchitis, undiagnosed cancer, multiple miscarriages, depression, and postpartum anemia. My husband calls me his "kitchen chemist" as I often throw together recipes like an artist painting a canvas and no two are exactly alike. With the help of my ND and some personal research and tes...Expand for more
