"Back to the Beginning Healing"
I remember the first time I felt it—that deep, inexplicable connection to the earth, like roots stretching out into the soil, grounding me. I had lost the connection for a while, but when I lost both parents to cancer, my Dad first, in 2020, then my mom 6 months later in 2021, it shook my world. I watched them both eaten away by this horrible disease and could do nothing about it. In that moment I set out on a journey to reconnect with nature and embarked upon a holistic lifestyle to change the narrative of cancer treatment. I started a second PhD, this time in Herbology and Phytotherapy to learn all I could about cancer fighting herbs and other herbs that could help with the treatment of other life threatening and autoimmune diseases to help myself, loved ones people around me. How I saw it, I was never going to sit back and depend on only pharmaceuticals and man-made drugs to heal myself or anyone I loved again. If cancer showed up in the lives of my loved ones, I would be ready to affect this narrative.
So, I started my holistic journey. It was more beautiful than I imagined it would be. Studying these herbs felt like home—Eden—and it's what inspired me to create "Return II Eden Healing."

I've always been passionate about holistic healing, whether through walking barefooted on the raw earth or under a full moon or herbal teas that whisper secrets of ancient remedies. But life is funny; sometimes, you have to face your deepest fears and most painful struggles before truly understanding the beauty around us. For me, it was losing both my parents especially my mother—a beacon of love and light—to cancer. She always believed in healing through nature, just like I do now.

I am pursuing this nonprofit dream passionately because no one should have to suffer the way my parents did or go through what I went through watching them suffer, then die. All treatment offered to patrons will be free as nature literally has the cure for all sicknesses even cancer and healthcare should be accessible and free for everyone. Yet, dreams like this require resources—lots of them. In order to create a beautiful healing sanctuary for the exhausted and sick much effort will be needed. That’s why I need your help. Every dollar raised brings us closer to making "Return II Eden Healing Xperience " a reality, not just a dream. It's about helping others find their own moment of peace, heal, and get another opportunity to live a life of meaning and purpose, just as I did.
Imagine joining me on this journey—imagine sharing that special place you’ve always dreamed of coming back to, again and again. Whether it’s finding your grounding like we once did among the trees or simply needing a quiet space away from life's chaos to be present or to heal, Return II Eden Healing is about creating these experiences for everyone who needs them.
True healing should not have to be so expensive when nature provides it for free
Let’s turn that dream into something tangible together. Let’s create a haven where nature speaks loudly and heals softly. Your support means more than you know—it could be the very thing someone else needs to find their own path back to healing -- Eden, just like I did through my mother's love for nature and her teachings.

Thank you for considering being part of this journey with me. Let’s make Return II Eden Healing Xperience not just a place on the map but an experience engraved in every heart that walks its trails, breathes its air and finds healing. 🌿
Let's continue to heal together. Dr. Nickie Ann~ Shalom

This was an incredibly beautiful post, and I truly believe in your aspirations. Holistic healing is not a commonly pursued path in today’s world, where many people seek to harm others for profit. Your commitment to this cause is refreshing and necessary. We need change; we need individuals who are willing to challenge the status quo. We need people who understand healing through the power of nature and God, rather than relying solely on chemicals and synthetic solutions. You are a beautiful person with an even more beautiful soul and an amazing spirit. I look forward to seeing and hearing more of your work, Dr. Nickie Ann!
