Luminosity
A Newsletter by Ridgway Center for Whole Health

Dear Members,

Ready or not February is quickly coming to an end, but the year is young and we have lots of plans for 2019. We will continue spreading the news to more individuals about a simpler, more direct healthcare model. We will begin meeting with small business employers to talk about the opportunities for their offering primary care to their employees for a low monthly fee. We will also be going out to different local organizations to spread the word. If you know of someone you would like to invite to join, we will say thanks with one free nutraceutical or botanical from our shelf for each new member referred by you!

We hope you enjoy this second edition Luminosity, A Newsletter by Ridgway Center for Whole Health. Here we will share interesting articles, research, recipes, and supplements.

And now, here's a look at your membership services...

Member Testimonials
“Best Dr. I have ever had. Won’t see anyone but her. She is caring. She won’t stop looking till she finds what is wrong with you. We need more Dr’s like her.

I have an unusual condition; one that most Doctors are not familiar with. I had been to a number of Doctors and allergists, but to no avail. They treated the symptoms with drugs that didn’t help the condition but did make me feel worse.

I finally found Shirley Olsen, and she is amazing! She went right to work to find the cause and the answers to what is happening in my body. She did extensive testing and a natural treatment approach has been life changing for me! It’s been (and still is) a long process and Shirley is with me every step of the way. I feel more healthy than I have in years and I am so grateful that I found her.

Shirley Olsen is extremely knowledgeable in her field and she really cares about her patients.”
