Ingrid Marshall was born near Munich, Germany and immigrated to Canada with her family when she was nine. She finished her school years by gaining a Bachelor of Arts degree from Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario. Ingrid was born with an innate love for travel and curiosity about cultures which has compelled her to seek out new experiences all her life. She has travelled the world extensively throughout her career visiting many countries and civilizations such as: the USA, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, Europe, as well as spending many months travelling through her adopted and beloved homeland of Canada and enjoying its many diverse cultures and customs. Later on in her travels Ingrid found herself in South Africa and spent many years there which, fortunately, gave her the opportunity to explore even more -exotic sounding- neighbouring countries such as Mozambique, Namibia and several visits to Mauritius. After living in South Africa for 15 years Ingrid, regrettably, developed a serious auto immune disease for which the medical system had no solution, only palliative drugs, all of which had serious negative side effects. However, determined to find better solutions to her problem than traditional medicine was able to give, Ingrid began a new journey in her life; a journey which would lead her down a route previously, and totally, in-conceived of before. Ingrid started this journey by becoming a Reiki Master, then a Reconnective Healer, an Internationally Licensed-Quatum Biofeedback Therapist- and studied many, many modalities including the work of Dr Hulda Clark, on; nutrition, bioresonance and much more. Thankfully, because of her determination and unrelenting self-motivation, as a therapist Ingrid has been able to help many of her clients with a variety of Health Related Issues; but not all of them. And for those clients she could not help, Ingrid challenged herself yet again and did intense research on their behalf to, hopefully, enable her to rectify these shortfalls in Health Care Information. It was one of these challenges which has now inspired Ingrid to write her first book, “Fluoride and Your Health. Exposing the Good, the Bad and the Ugly”. She is also researching material for her next publication which will be on the bounties of the “Olive Tree” including the use of: the fruit, the leaves and the wood itself. This book will contain many recipes for the culinary, cosmetic and herbal medicine usage of the Olive Tree and will be in print later this year. Ingrid is a person with a passionate drive for self-fulfillment and self-help, and for sharing her hard gained knowledge with others. This she does in the form of books, public speaking and personal contact in the belief that she will make a difference. She does, and it has been my great privilege, and honour, to know her!
