Introduction and Reflective Post
I am Jennifer Duke, a 28 year old, born and raised in rural North Carolina. After graduating high school I spent 8 and half years in the Navy working in Administration. In January of 2009, I left the service in hopes of using my experience and Associates degree to get a great job. Needless to say with the condition of the economy, I found this endeavor discouraging and decided maybe revisiting school would be the way to go. Perhaps give myself new opportunities toward satisfying an innate drive of helping others. I decided to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree in Health and Wellness. I would love to one day dispense nutrition advice or work as a wellness coach. Presently, I live with my sister and her husband and I provide childcare to my five month old nephew. Between school and taking care of him, I have little time for much else....except for talking on the phone and keeping in touch with friends on Facebook.

I am hoping this course in understanding the psychological and spiritual aspects of healing will help to make me more conscientious of particular stresses and strains in my life and help me to find a inner calm and peace in my mind and then translate this to my physical self.
