Author, Teacher, Counselor
After receiving a diagnosis of Crohn’s Disease and Takayasu Arteritis at the age of twenty-three, Virginia Harper began a macrobiotic program of preparing and eating whole foods while learning to change her lifestyle to accommodate her body’s specific needs. Within months, she was symptom free. This relief came after seven years of suffering the painful effects of digestive inflammation that required several hospital stays, harsh drugs, and unacceptable surgery proposals. This healing experience taught her the important connection between food and health and how to tap into her innate healing abilities.
For the last forty years, she has consulted with clients all over the world and influenced thousands of people to create a healthy, pain-free life without inflammatory intestinal diseases. Her focus is to educate people to heal their mind, body, and spirit with the preparation of plant-based nutrition individualized to their needs.
Virginia is recognized as one of the leading teachers and counselors for digestive distress. She is the author of Controlling Crohn’s Disease the Natural Way. Also, she is the founder and director of You Can Heal You… one meal at a time, which teaches people how to turn on the body’s healing abilities through balanced food choices and preparation. Virginia founded the Mobile Macro Meals Club, which delivers seasonal macrobiotic meal preparations to homes in the Nashville area. Also, she established Kids Healing Crohn’s & Colitis, a non-profit foundation and educational support tool for parents and children.
Virginia resides and consults from her home in Franklin, TN. She taught in Alicante, Spain, where she was a macrobiotic counselor for the SHA Wellness Clinic for five years. Virginia enjoys coordinating and leading healing workshops, speaking to various groups in the United States, Canada, and Europe. Virginia can be reached through her website www.youcanhealyou.com

Health Analysis Scan
The AO SCAN is noninvasive bio-resonance, which uses radionics to detect abnormalities in the various frequencies of the cells, tissues and organs systems throughout your body. Imbalances and disturbances in these frequencies is often a key indicator of distress and disease. The scan not only identifies problems but also resets your frequencies in the interim as it scans your body. In this session you will receive a personalized scan, frequency balance and Virginia will review how to read the results that will be emailed to you. This form of energy medicine is useful to help detect root causes overlooked by regular ultrasounds or blood tests and can enhance any healing modality. It is safe to use for those ten years or older.
