What started as a small health consulting business in Lafayette, Louisiana, over 2 decades ago has evolved into two clinics and thousands of remote clients throughout the U.S. and internationally. Dee has worked with clients of all ages through depression and anxiety, ADHD, weight loss, heavy metal and chemical detoxification, viral, bacterial, and parasitic issues, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, immune support, and chronic illnesses.

Dee’s passion for healing comes from her own health challenges that began when she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in her early twenties. Rather than taking the two prescriptions of chemotherapy recommended, Dee decided in faith to follow the recommendations of an herbalist and take a natural approach to healing. After 6 months of natural wellness and therapies, Dee’s health issues were completely resolved and her body fully restored. After witnessing first-hand what natural wellness was able to do for her own life and health, Dee was compelled to share this gift with others. She created a custom bio survey that relies on galvanic skin response (GSR)—an established technology that measures fluctuations in electrical conductivity of the skin–based upon technology developed by NASA scientists. It’s painless and tests a client on more than 4,000 information markers in the body.

For Dee, Health Matters is not just a business, but a calling. Dee and her husband, Aldon, feel called to reach people with a message of hope and health by addressing not only physical needs but emotional and spiritual needs as well. Second only to her relationship with God, Dee finds her greatest joy in their three precious children—AJ (and his wife Erica), Ann Louise, and William and their sweet grandson.

As a mom to two young children and pulling from her own experience in navigating an autoimmune condition, she knows firsthand how important it is for families and caregivers to have options with treatment and care. That’s why she relentlessly reads, studies and collaborates with top physicians and nurses in the field to continue learning and advocating for holistic pediatric solutions to bring healing.

For as long as she can remember, Stephanie wanted to become a nurse. Her passion for promoting health stems from volunteering in a pediatric hospital unit in high school, inspired by the nurses and children in the unit where her cousin who had Cystic Fibrosis spent time. Her own experiences battling autoimmunity fueled her passion to spread the message about how living a healthy individualized lifestyle can create space for healing many common modern-day ailments. Stephanie has trekked through Ecuador and Brazil helping to care for children in need of surgeries, initiated and led a recycling program in a children’s hospital surgical department, and has contributed as a consultant and researcher on health care design projects with Cognitive Design.

Stephanie works daily to inspire and provide solutions to mothers who may be struggling to balance their own health challenges with the needs of their families. Her compassionate and practical care, coupled with vast knowledge propels the families she works with to a greater level of health. She believes this cannot be done alone, but through education, collaboration, and charting new territory with others who are on a mission to improve and promote health for children and families.
