Hi! I am

Carola Schleuss

Founder of, and a practitioner at Way of Life Matters, a wonderful place for learning about how to enjoy a natural healthy life For people and their animal friends.

My childhood medical history was filled with medication such as antibiotics, prednisone, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 800mg and too many vaccinations.
