2004. Her passion for the proper use of essential oils continues her membership

Debra
grew up in Downers Grove, Illinois, a western suburb of Chicago. Her father,
from Native American descent, was a successful chiropractic physician
whose clientele included professional sports teams and sports figures
who sought relief in what was then viewed as a non-mainstream alternative
medical field. Debra was exposed to the holistic healing benefits of the
therapies used in her father's healthcare profession. The homeopathic
approach made a life long impression.
After graduating from the dental hygiene program at Parkland College
in Champaign, Illinois, Debra moved to Boca Raton, Florida, a community
renowned for its affluence and home of many therapeutic spas. In the Florida
sun, she lived and worked as a dental hygienist in the Boca community.
In 1984, Debra developed the initial concept of 'Spa Dentistry'. It was
there that she began the journey combining the best of holistic healing
and her love for oral hygiene that today is Oraspa™ and Perioromatherapy™.
Her travels continue from Utah to Budapest, Hungary, 'The City of Spas'
to bring evidence-based research and quality controlled treatment and
products to the dental community.
