Lia Ricci-Sons is a holistic healer, a passion of hers for quite some time, but it never became a full-time career until she was let go from her job at a spiritual development center on the campus of Bowling Green.

"I had no idea what I was going to do," said Ricci-Sons.

It was a scary time, but she quickly realized her goal in life, which is to offer balance and health through a holistic approach.

"In southern Ohio, central Ohio holistic healing is booming, so we are going to make that happen here," said Ricci-Sons.

She took this time of unemployment and turned it into Asherah's Garden, a business she runs out of her home.

"It's a bit tight, and I'm considering finding a part time job to supplement, but I'm not going to give up Ashera's garden," said Ricc-Sons.

She hopes Asherah's Garden will one day flourish into a full-time career.

"I'm getting to do something that I love, every time I work with Asherah's Garden. I'm happy, I'm relaxed, I'm more balanced," said Ricci-Sons.

It's the same state of mind she strives for, for her clients, "it's rewarding to watch someone grow and become more confident, balanced, relaxed, that is my favorite part."
