Vickie has explored natural alternative forms of healing for over 20 years. For her doctoral dissertation Vickie researched 6,000 years of history on the interaction between science and philosophy. Through her research she came upon alternative and forgotten streams of scientific discovery and inquiry. This fueled her interest in exploring methods of healing that work in cooperation with nature rather than in opposition to it. Vickie is experienced in animal communication, reflexology, quantum touch (including Core Transformations and Level II with Richard Gordon), Matrix Energetics (through Level III Wizard's Training), dowsing, and emotional freedom technique (EFT). Vickie is currently training in Jin Shin Jyutsu. She is a Reiki Master, an EFTIntermediate Practitioner candidate, and a Certified Instructor and Practitioner in Quantum Touch.

Vickie and her daughter Kelsey (also an instructor and practitioner of Quantum Touch) developed Colorado Sage Learning Center, located in Parker Colorado. Vickie and Kelsey offer classes in Quantum Touch, dowsing, and Meridian Tapping. At the Learning Center they also host teachers on topics such as nutrition, medical dowsing, animal communication, acupuncture, chiropractic, and various energetic healing modalities. They also host learning and sharing circles in quantum touch and holistic health.
