I was a middle school teacher when I fainted in front of my students. The doctors diagnosed insulin resistance, told me I’d probably become diabetic one day, and sent me home without a real plan. So I went and found my own answers. I changed how I ate, rebuilt my energy, and saw my insulin markers improve within three months. That experience sent me back to school for a master’s in Holistic Nutrition, a doctorate in naturopathy, and certification in iridology.

What makes Angel Eyes different is how I start. I’m a master iridologist with more than 7,000 readings behind me, so I don’t begin with weeks of expensive testing. I read the iris to see where the body is struggling. Then I use my Iris Hormone Map to work through the hormone hierarchy in order: cortisol first, then insulin, then thyroid, then sex hormones. Women get answers specific to their own body, and they get them quickly.

My first clients walked in the door. For 14 years I practiced inside a family-owned health food store, and people came in looking for help. I never had to advertise, because one woman who felt better would send her sister, her mom and her best friend. Some of those families are still with me 10 and 16 years later.

These days about half my new clients come through people they know, and the other half find me on Google. Podcasts have quickly become a third source. I’ve been a guest on shows like Wellness Mama and Test Don’t Guess, and listeners reach out afterward from all over the country. One surprise: half of my last ten clients came to me for fertility support, even though I had only been advertising for perimenopause. Women tell other women what worked, and that still drives this business more than any ad.

The decision that changed everything was taking my practice online. I had always believed iridology had to happen face to face. Then I began reading eye photos clients sent me before a Zoom call, and the findings held up. One client sent photos with no health history at all, and nearly every concern on my list matched what she had been worried about. That opened my practice to women nationwide.

My biggest mistake was depending entirely on someone else’s front door. For years, clients came to me because of where I worked. When the store closed in 2024, my pipeline closed with it. I had no email list, no marketing system and no plan. Rebuilding from almost nothing taught me that a business needs its own path to clients, and I’ll never skip that work again.

Women are done waiting. They’ve been told their labs are “normal” while they still feel awful, and they’ve spent years chasing one symptom after another. They come to me informed and frustrated, and they want real answers on their own schedule without a referral or a waiting room.

I built my services around that. Clients send me photos of their eyes before we meet, so our Zoom session takes 30 minutes or less, and their written protocol arrives the same day. I can order labs directly, which lets women skip the insurance runaround. My Wise Eyes Membership gives them text access to me between visits, so they aren’t left on their own for months at a time. I also work alongside conventional care. Some of my clients use HRT, and sometimes I suggest a client discuss it with her doctor. Women want someone who can see the whole picture.

First, build your own way to reach people. Start an email list, set up your Google Business Profile, and ask every happy client for a review. Referrals are wonderful, but you need a path to clients that you control and that nobody can take away from you.

Second, get specific about who you serve. You’ll find out from the clients who actually show up, and they may not be the ones you expected.

Ignore the pressure to be on every social platform and to build a big signature program before anyone has asked for it. I once built a three-month program that never sold, because I wasn’t excited about it and my clients didn’t need it. A simple offer you believe in will outperform a complicated one every time. Serve people well and stay consistent. Results do most of the marketing.
