A former high school teacher and college adjunct instructor, Judy holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in English, Theatre, and Secondary Education. Prior to her involvement in natural health, she worked nearly 15 years as a systems engineer, department manager, and leadership development educator with a Fortune 500 automotive/IT company. She left the corporate world in 1997, and opened a small natural products/health food store in her hometown, Logansport, Indiana.
She is a Board-certified Doctor of Natural Medicine, Licensed Ecclesiastical Holistic Practitioner, Flower Essences Specialist, and a Master Herbalist. She also teaches legalities of naturopathic practice, and business development/support.
Judy and her husband have been involved in animal rescue for nearly three decades. They have specialized in Bulldog rescue/hospice care and are now working with a surrendered young Olde English Bulldogge named Norm. To say that Norm is a handful would be a vast understatement, but we do this work with an open heart… we can’t save them all, but we can save this one.
In addition to more than 16 years as a holistic health educator with Certified Natural Health Professionals (CNHP) and Trinity School of Natural Health, Judy joined forces with her friend and colleague, Beth Hovis, to build the Brilliant Health Weekend Away with Beth and Judy, which launched in May 2023. Their shared vision is to enhance the holistic education experience, through immersive weekends of practice and study in beautiful, peaceful settings.
Judy, Beth, and many other talented educators now bring their vast knowledge to the FIRM platform, and we ALL look forward to working with you!

STUDENT FEEDBACK
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
...Judy Masters is worth every penny. She is so helpful in guiding you through why you might have processed a question a certain way that would make you get the incorrect answer. she helps you to understand what right answers should be and what to be mindful of when taking your exam. If you are wondering if this is worth the money, it's worth more than it costs.
