After returning from a summer teaching in Hanoi, Vietnam in 2003, I experienced a devastating decline in health. Physically, I experienced dramatic weight loss (65 pounds in 3 months), developed severe food and chemical sensitivities and sudden rashes on my body and face. I had persistent digestive issues, chronic pain, constipation and gallbladder dysfunction. I experienced malabsorption, malnutrition, dysmenorrhea, migraines, severe brain fog, and insomnia. I was physically exhausted at all hours of the day but when I tried to sleep, my body would jolt awake in a panicked state. Emotionally, I battled with debilitating anxiety, panic attacks and paranoia that left me immobilized, traumatized and desperate for answers.

After seeing over a dozen doctors and specialists, the allopathic medical model had failed me. I was told I was at a healthy weight for my height (ignoring the dramatic short-term weight loss on no attempt of my own), and blood work that would all come back “normal”. I was even abused and openly mocked by two different doctors when I needed help the most. At the end of a year’s worth of appointments not only did I still have no answers, but my health continued to decline. At 20 years old, I was on a grocery bag full of prescription drugs that were all competing to mask symptoms. No one could tell me WHY I had suddenly started experiencing all of these issues!

My New Life Story

At this time, a friend introduced me to natural medicine and I began obsessively reading and researching to literally save my own life. There were no herbs, vitamins, detoxes, or therapies I didn’t try. It was an 8 year process of trial and error on my own until finally felt like I had my life back.

As I began to heal, my passion and work led me to coaching others through the health food industry, and as a supplement buyer for Whole Foods Market where I started a program called “Wellness Wednesday” that invited local practitioners to speak for free to the customers. Through those relationships, I went on to work with some of the best Naturopathic Doctors, Chiropractors and clinics this side of the country. Formally, I went on to earn a masters’ degree in Complementary and Alternative Medicine from the American College of Healthcare Sciences as well as a Board Certification in Colon Hydrotherapy.

Through my experiences, education, and mentoring, I was able to overcome trauma related brain dysfunction, chronic mold illness, intestinal parasites, MCAS, MCS, skin issues, gallstones, liver disease and much more. I strongly believe it is the Lord who led me through to this place of healing to be able to help many others who are suffering get back to finding their true selves! I will forever be grateful for my new life and am passionate about showing others the way out of chronic illness, anxiety and suffering.

Your Path To New Life

Sometimes it is not enough to throw a bunch of pills at deficiencies or do a boxed cleanse or juice fast every once in a while. For many of us struggling with chronic illness or “mysterious” illness, we need tools and a PLAN that address the root causes of our illness in the right steps, with the right support.
