Maryann Baker – Amazing!

Meet Maryann Baker... I am a Pisces, the sixth child in a family of 8 children. My parents became “health nuts” after my mom's health deteriorated to a point that she started looking for alternative ways to feel better. I grew up in a very healthy environment where we ate lots of fresh foods from the garden and I really listened to my body and naturally chose not to eat a lot of dairy or meat or processed products in general because I noticed my body was sensitive to anything foreign.

At 16, after coming back from being a nanny in Alaska and dealing with some emotional issues, I developed a severe case of teenage acne that not only scared my face, but also my self esteem. About that time, I started working at a health food store which started my health and healing Journey as I cleansed my body and took special herbs to help with the acne and other symptoms including headaches.

I felt better and better as I cleansed and healed my body and enjoyed watching as my body transformed, my headaches disappeared, I lost weight, my cycles were easier, my eyesight was better and I was finally alive and vibrant. I graduated from high school in the top 10% of my class and got a full scholarship to college studying Secondary Education and Botany.

I became a Master Herbalist through Dr. Christopher's School of Natural Healing. At 21, I became the manager of a major health food store chain in Washington State. At 23, I became a Youth counselor, hiking with adjudicated youth in the wilderness of Southern Utah.

I was happily married in 1997 and had two beautiful daughters, Sage and Ginger. In 2000, I started my own business manufacturing fleece Cloaks etc., pearl necklaces and selling misc. products like British Berkefeld Water Filters, Happy Feet Insoles etc. I have had a daycare in my home, been a teacher at a local preschool and daycare center and I am certified to care for infants and toddlers. I have enjoyed being a Girl Scout leader, Sunday school teacher, and I am a certified Nurturing Parenting Facilitator. I love to learn and have taken a variety of classes from Ballroom Dancing, Belly Dancing, massage techniques, Cranial Sacral basics, Modern Dance, Pottery, Art, Tai Chi, Neuro Linguistic Programming, cellular healing, body electronics, and I am a Wilderness First Responder, etc.

My daughter, Ginger, was born with Cerebral Palsy and has had extreme difficulty walking and talking from birth. In our quest to help find solutions to support her healing, I went to my first Journey Intensive which happened to be the weekend after an unexpected traumatic divorce. The Journey Intensive ended up helping to heal my own heart, and to see things from a different perspective which helped me put myself back together from this new unfamiliar place. I went home after an amazing weekend of clearing and healing and read the children's story in the back of the Journey for Kid's book to my daughters Sage and Ginger. Just reading the story helped both of my children immediately. Only after the process did I realize that Ginger completely stopped complaining of the daily pain in her knees and her speech improved as well. I also noticed my oldest daughter's reading level jump two levels over the Christmas break and she invited the “mean girls” in her class to her birthday party.

For me the Journey has been life changing as I have been able to complete the Practitioners Program this last year and watched as my life has shifted and changed for the best! I now have new tools to help deal with the adventures life hands me and work with my beautiful children. I also now have the honor to work in the North American Journey office as the Customer Service Manager and hear amazing stories of healing and clearing on a daily basis! The Journey has changed my life and the lives of my family forever.
