Founder, Owner, and Integrative and Functional Health Coach
My Story
I live, breathe and sleep natural health and wellness. My journey began after suffering for many years from multiple undiagnosed illnesses. As I began to learn about the body and its innate ability to heal itself, holistic nutrition and natural health became a way of life. It is because of natural medicine that I am able to write these words today. During my early 30s, I lived with horrific pain from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), two digestive disorders, which eventually resulted in extreme weight loss, malnourishment, fibromyalgia, and anxiety. After trying conventional medicine and failing many times, I decided to try naturopathic medicine with much success. At age 41, I was finally diagnosed with Chronic Lyme Disease, and multiple coinfections, which was the root cause of my illness.
As your Integrative & Functional Health Coach, my goal is to provide you with the resources to make the best choices to reach your goals while encouraging and keeping you on track along the way. All aspects of your health will be considered when trying to re-balance your body. Recognizing that all forms of stress including viruses, bacteria, fungi, toxins, heavy metals, and negative emotions, can impair the immune system and your health. I have just one question. Are you ready to take your health into your own hands? If the answer is yes, then stop waiting for illness to embark upon your life. Call today!!!
