No information for this individual could be found anywhere that would verify the ability to perform health screening. An individual who claims to be able to perform health screening, but apparently lacks the knowledge or skills to do so, is not only perpetrating a fraud, but is a danger to the health of every client they come in contact with.
The danger is twofold: first is the risk of a health condition that the "coach" is not capable to screen or detect, which is then left ignored and untreated, second is that a disease or condition is screened for and diagnosed but is non-existent in the client.
Health Screening & Complementary Natural Solutions is really the name of a scam that goes like this: unconventional and bogus "screening" reveals a client has some condition that remarkably can be treated with the very products the "coach" happens to sell, which, incidentally, happen to be called "solutions". The implication being there is an inherent problem that requires a solution.
Scam and Fraud
The scam is that a client will always be screened and diagnosed with some condition, then recommended to purchase the "natural complementary solution" from the "natural health coach". The purpose of this scam is for the "coach" to sell their product, which transfers money from the pocket of the client to the pocket of the "coach". The client, whose health is not ever a consideration, ends up spending money for worthless treatment for a condition they do not have.
The fraud is that the "natural health coach" is presenting herself as a bonafide practitioner who can perform legitimate screening, which is a medical procedure, but does not have the education, training, knowledge, skills, or licensing that would allow this individual to legally and legitimately practice medicine.
Colorado Statute 12-36-106
(a) Holding out one's self to the public within this state as being able to diagnose, treat, prescribe for, palliate, or prevent any human disease, ailment, pain, injury, deformity, or physical or mental condition, whether by the use of drugs, surgery, manipulation, electricity, telemedicine, the interpretation of tests, including primary diagnosis of pathology specimens, images, or photographs, or any physical, mechanical, or other means whatsoever;
(b) Suggesting, recommending, prescribing, or administering any form of treatment, operation, or healing for the intended palliation, relief, or cure of any physical or mental disease, ailment, injury, condition, or defect of any person;
(c) The maintenance of an office or other place for the purpose of examining or treating persons afflicted with disease, injury, or defect of body or mind;
(d) Using the title M.D., D.O., physician, surgeon, or any word or abbreviation to indicate or induce others to believe that one is licensed to practice medicine in this state and engaged in the diagnosis or treatment of persons afflicted with disease, injury, or defect of body or mind, except as otherwise expressly permitted by the laws of this state enacted relating to the practice of any limited field of the healing arts;

(2) If a person who does not possess and has not filed a license to practice medicine, practice as a physician assistant, or practice as an anesthesiologist assistant in this state, as provided in this article, and who is not exempted from the licensing requirements under this article, performs any of the acts that constitute the practice of medicine as defined in this section, the person shall be deemed to be practicing medicine, practicing as a physician assistant, or practicing as an anesthesiologist assistant in violation of this article.
Lying by Omission
Anyone who claims to be able to perform a medical procedure, but does reveal they are not licensed or in any way qualified, is lying to clients through the omission of that information.
Anyone who claims to be able to perform a medical procedure, but does not have and is not able to obtain proper licensing and qualifications, is not able to obtain liability insurance, which means, clients whose health has been compromised have little recourse for recovery of damages.
Health Screening & Complementary Natural Solutions is fraud, misrepresentation, deceit, and dishonesty perpetrated by design to derive benefit at the expense of others through tricking consumers who are seeking health care.
It is best to avoid this scam altogether.
