Why I Do What I Do
As a child I saw relative after relative riddled with chronic health conditions; conditions I’ve since learned are preventable, and in some instances, reversible. I was so impacted by the struggles my family endured, I promised my grandmother I would become a doctor and cure her diabetes. But, she passed away from complications of her disease before I could graduate high school.
In 2005, I accidentally discovered the world of alternative healing. It was my first introduction to nutrition, herbs and supplements for optimal health; and my first glimpse at the impact poor lifestyle choices and toxin exposures could have on health. It was also the first time I realized that my grandmother’s death could have been prevented.
After 17 years of digging to find “the one thing” that leads to true health, I’ve learned it doesn’t exist because the path to true balanced health is unique to each and every one of us. And that path requires more than just temporary diet and exercise modifications. It requires an integrative approach that also eliminates toxicities and restores deficiencies. And it requires a deep reflection and evaluation of the way we are choosing to be present in our lives.
True healing comes when we’re able to identify the underlying root causes of disease and imbalance within our bodies, whether these be physical, emotional or spiritual. My mission is to empower YOU to become your own wellness advocate and guide you on the journey of discovering your path to true, vibrant health and wellness.
I combine my education and experience in nutrition, fitness and emotion/trauma release to design a truly unique program for YOU. One that is tailored to your unique needs, that meets you wherever you are on your health journey.
