Living My Dream, Helping You Achieve Your Health Goals
As a Certified Integrative Healing Practitioner, I am living my deepest dream: empowering people like you to achieve their health goals and rediscover a life of energy and joy. My journey into natural healing began with my own profound struggles, and through dedicated research and a holistic approach, I've transformed my life – and now, I'm passionate about helping you do the same.
A Foundation Built on Expertise and Personal Experience
My commitment to natural healing is deeply rooted in both extensive education and over a decade of personal, immersive research. I've made it my lifelong quest to continuously learn and integrate knowledge from diverse sources, ensuring I can offer the most comprehensive and effective support.
My academic and professional background includes:
Four-year Honors Degree in Biomedicine: Providing a strong scientific foundation for understanding the body.
Three-year Diploma in Massage Therapy: Offering insight into the physical body and anatomy.
Extensive Natural Healing Certifications & Courses: Continuously expanding my expertise in holistic modalities including a certification in functional diagnostic nutrition and mastering functional lab testing.
Beyond the credentials, I am a high-energy, passionate woman who cherishes true, natural beauty and a vibrant life. I find joy in homesteading, gardening, hiking, riding my horses, and exploring Florida with my family. These aren't just hobbies; they are a constant reminder of the incredible health and freedom I've reclaimed, a freedom I want for you too.
My Chronic Health Issues Were Ruining My Life
It wasn't long ago that the vibrant life I live today felt impossible. I remember a time when chronic pain, debilitating fatigue, and a host of terrifying symptoms trapped me, making even simple tasks a struggle. I faced severe health challenges, including:
Lupus: Limiting my ability to function and eventually forcing me to stop working.
Migraines: Trapping me in a dark, sound-proof room, causing me to miss cherished family moments.
Interstitial Cystitis: Affecting my relationship and quality of life.
Chronic Insomnia: Leaving me exhausted and unable to focus.
Joint Pain & Fatigue: Preventing me from pursuing my passions, like competing with my dogs.
Depression & Anxiety: Severely limiting my social interactions.
Cystic Acne & Weight Gain: Leading to self-consciousness and a desire to hide away.
Mood Swings: Straining my most important relationships.
Perhaps the most heartbreaking challenge was being told that having a child might not be possible due to my health.
I Didn't Address My Health Issues and They Quickly Spiraled Out of Control
In August of 2012 I had to quit my job and move home with my parents because I could barely lift a spoon most days...
This was my breaking point - giving up everything I had worked for. I had prided myself on being a strong, independent woman but my body had given up. I knew it was the right choice and I am proud of myself for doing it. I needed to heal. I needed to learn how to heal. I needed to change my life.
It Took Me Six Long Years to Heal
I healed from migraines that had plagued me for 20 years (had my first one at age 7). I’ve been migraine-free for 8+ years!
After suffering from insomnia since 13 years old, I am now sleeping 6-8 hours a night (…until Kaiden was born lol).
I have been in remission from lupus for almost 6 years without the use of medications.
I successfully got off Effexor and I am no longer suffering from depression or anxiety.
I healed from interstitial cystitis! Yay for pain-free sex!
I lost 20lbs that I had struggled with losing since a teen.
I healed from cystic acne and I am proud of my natural beauty (no Photoshop).
I had a healthy pregnancy and delivered a 9lb 8oz healthy baby boy after carrying him to 42 weeks!
I am happy, vibrant, and full of energy!
I built a successful Integrative Healing Practice, published my book, Heal Yourself, and launched The Integrative Healing Academy where I train practitioners who are passionate about natural healing and helping other to become Certified Integrative Healing Practitioners.
I Can Accomplish Anything I Desire & You Can Too!
I have the motivation, drive and energy to work with clients, train students and graduates in The Integrative Healing Academy, travel for speaking engagement, while being a mom and still enjoying hiking with my dogs, riding my horses, and growing my food forest on our property!
There was a time I thought I would be bed-ridden forever. I felt hopeless and helpless. My wish is that my story serves as inspiration and proof that you too, can not only heal, but thrive.
WORK WITH ME
I Ended Up Doing More Healing in Six Months than in Five Years
The journey was definitely worth it but it was frustrating at times. I spent so much money and took many steps backwards on trial and error. I did more healing in six months than I did in the other five years. Using functional lab testing, I was able to get to the root cause of my health issues and heal my body as a whole instead of focusing on simply reducing the symptoms.
