Kolbi McKenzie
I was born and raised a Wyomingite. I love being in the sun but also love hanging out, having coffee and enjoying the solitude of my home. I have worked in the medical field for over 25 years in the areas of Gynecology, Emergency Medicine and Hospice where I was certified in Grief/ Bereavement Education. I have found my calling in the wellness world with an infuses on Grief Education, Centering Healthcare and Mindful Meditation. I believe that whole body wellness is more than just exercise, it is practicing mindfulness and having a peaceful soul. I studied health care administration at Bryan and Stratton University. I am currently studying Foot Zoning, reflexology, and Muscle Testing at Enlighten Academy. I hope to be a “Life Long” learner and hope to see you all working on your own wellness at Elements Wellness Center.
Carol Iverson
Carol Iverson was born in NYC, raised on Long Island, NY. She got her engineering degree from Duke University in North Carolina, worked briefly for Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company in Virginia before moving to Wyoming where she worked for PacifiCorp’s Dave Johnston and Jim Bridger power plants for a little over 30 years as a project engineer. Carol was never a big fan of conventional medicine and so was on the look-out for alternatives whenever health issues came around.
Carol and her husband had a cat who developed asthma. Not knowing any other choices, her cat was treated with steroids (the conventional treatment). In time, the steroids compromised the cat’s pancreas leading to diabetes. When the cat’s diabetes could not be brought into control with conventional treatment, Carol did some research and learned cats were obligate carnivores meaning, they are meant to only eat meat. She and her husband switched the cat to an all meat, raw meat diet. Within 2 months the diabetes was gone and the asthma was in remission.
Also during this time, Carol experienced a stroke as a complication from then undiagnosed atrial fibrillation; which thrust her into the conventional medical system. The experience was most unpleasant. Fortunately, she came through the experience mostly unscathed; which she believed was a gift to be made use of. Upon reflecting on her experience and after seeing the success in treating her cat, Carol wanted to learn more about treating human conditions with diet. So she went back to school and completed her doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe, AZ. She is now ready to help others find their path and explore their options in their healing journeys.

Yoga is so much more than just movement to me, it's an incredible modality that does so much healing for the nervous system, body, and mind. I can't wait to share my practice with this community.
Paula Stanley
My journey to wellness started many years ago in the early 2000's. Even though I had a degree in business, I realized once out working in the world, I had a strong desire to help others in their career development or daily motivation. In 2004, during one of my most stressful positions as an office manager, I was diagnosed with a life-threatening dis-ease that was only curable in Western Medicine with a severe Chemotherapy protocol that might very well alter my life. I declined and started researching other methods of cure. I took a holistic approach to healing myself and through therapies anchored in holistic practice alongside supported and complete cellular detox with food and supplements, I am cured! Since 2006, this is exactly what I am passionate about when helping others live their best lives and heal from the "inside out" naturally.
