Story - L'Auberge Des Herbes

Isabelle Fournier
Co-Founder, Teacher, Mother, Wholistic Health Science and Practitioner of Iridology

Everybody knew the Co-Founder of L'Auberge des Herbes. She was one of the original and renowned founders in the Wholistic Health Science and Practice of Iridology in North America. Everyone trusted her advice and in memory of her legacy, they still hold her dear to their hearts.

In the 70's, Isabelle's husband was experiencing symptoms of walking paralysis, resulting from an old injury. After consulting with doctors, he was told that surgery was needed and the possibility of permanent paralysis.
After long hours of praying, seeking answers to the dilemma, Isabelle was introduced to an alternative health practitioner doing Iridology and using Natures Sunshine Products of Canada. She was personally advised in methods to assist her husband. After following the advice, her husband lived on never having the surgery or any symptoms of paralysis.

Isabelle founded L'Auberge des Herbes in 1978 and successfully consulted thousands of individuals with mild to chronic health conditions.

Isabelle was the eldest of a large family and was the go-to girl for advice when needed. Her earthly nature in helping family members helped her decide to train in the alternative health care field. There were very few alternative health care teachers in the 70's and 80's so Isabelle had minimal assistance. Researching, studying and developing her own techniques, Isabelle strategized her own successful programs for the many that came. And they came. Just like "Field of Dreams", "if you built, they will come." People came from all over the world for her advice and recommendations, making L'Auberge des Herbes: "A Miracle on Main Street".

Isabelle taught many people, but her true legacy lives on through her daughter. Kimberly Fournier-Gair stood by her mother training vigorously and learning from the best. She continues to this day, to study and upgrade the services at L'Auberge des Herbes. Always helping people help themselves to a healthier, happier lifestyle.
