About Us
Since my youth, teaching was my passion. I can remember playing school, being always the teacher. Needless to say that my life career was Education. I graduated from Andrews University with a bachelors degree in Secondary Education, with major and minor in Foreign Languages. I continued my studies with a masters degree in Educational Administration, followed by a masters degree in Romance Languages at Michigan State University where I also taught languages. Desiring more education, I pursued a higher degree in Curriculum. This was my background prior to teaching at Valencia Community College and Broward Community College, and little did I know that God was calling me to another way of life.

Discovering the Health Message
While in Florida I met Pat and Willard Kauffman in the Mount Dora SDA Church. They were conducting a Cooking Class using the Weimar program. I was flabbergasted. Everything seemed to be so new to me that I jumped in body and soul. I began to study health and related subjects with passion, sharing and teaching in my own living room on Sundays. Then followed I TEN TALENTS in Groveland with Dr. Hurd and his wife, bought their books, and attended a Medical Missionary Training for three full months with FOCUS ON HEALTH. I then registered at Clayton for a doctoral in Naturopathy and with a focus on Herbology. With my husband Chuck’s encouragement, we prepared cassettes for radio programs, VHS videos on cooking, the original diet and much more…
Teaching the Health Message
While teaching at the Community College, I found time to give health lectures on weekends, either in churches or at home, and often travelled across the United States holding weekly or weekend seminars. My husband and I then moved to Tennessee and founded the Oasis Lifestyle Retreat in 2006. My husband and I praise God who led us to a better understanding of the Health Message.
Oasis Lifestyle Retreat
We welcome you to our retreat seminars. From the beginning, we wanted to create an atmosphere where people could learn how to live a happier, healthier, and longer life. The campus is located in Clifton, Tennessee, just two hours from Nashville in a tranquil, serene 28-acre setting.
Our Mission Statement:
Create an atmosphere where people could learn and be encouraged to live a happier, healthier and longer life.
Our Philosophy:
United with the Source of all power we become real temples and experience eternal life, knowing the only true God. This is a true science, the science of life eternal.
Why Us?
Why Do We Stand Out?
Because it is God’s directed. We use the purest, the finest, all natural and organic ingredients to enhance metabolism, improve digestion and detoxification and increase assimilation, thus presenting a greater life force as it enriches appearance and health. Our natural, homelike, and simple approach stands as it differs from sophisticated and 5 star facilities. Remember the experience of Naaman, the Syrian in the time of Elisha the prophet. It was great humiliation of soul to descend into one of the streams in Israel, but there he found the desire of his soul.
We Care
We care about your health, but God cares more. We trust in God when he says to us...Beloved, I wish above all things that thou prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. We encourage everyone to have the faith of the women in the Bible with the issue of blood. Let us all come to expect that your faith will make you whole.
We Are In The Country
A visit to the country where you can live a simple, carefree life, coming in close contact with the things of nature will be most helpful. Roaming through the fields and the woods, picking the flowers, listening to the song of the birds, will do far more than any other agency toward recovery.
By the influence of the quickening, reviving, life-giving properties of nature, great medicinal resources, the functions of the body are strengthened, the intellect awakened, the imagination quickened, the spirit enlivened, and the mind prepared to appreciate the beauty of God’s word (CH 167,2). Remember, God is the great Physician.

Oasis Lifestyle Ministries completely transformed my life. In 2017, when I first visited the center, I was severely overweight, depressed, and led an unhealthy lifestyle. Using the knowledge that I gained at the center about holistic health and nutrition, I began to eat a mostly raw plant based diet and incorporated exercise, rest, and a closer walk with God into my life. A year later, I have lost 43 pounds, gained a greater sense of clarity and creativity!
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
--Matthew 11:28
