Margaret attended the La Varenne culinary school under Julia Child and Anne Willan and believes food is medicine. In keeping with the Dhanur Vedas, Margaret holds a Black Belt in the martial arts. These interests, in addition to Yoga, contribute to her living and teaching others to live a healthy balanced lifestyle.
Margaret is a University of Iowa and Drake University honors alumna. During college, she successfully competed in the Miss America Pageant. After college, Margaret specialized in risk arbitrage as a Stockbroker on Wall Street with Ladenburg Thalmann, the second firm to list on the New York Stock Exchange. It was during her career as a stockbroker that her interest in healing arts began.
