- How did you get started doing this type of work?
Almost 20 years ago, I began to struggle with high inflammation, debilitating digestive issues, fatigue, stress, anxiety, panic attacks and a conglomeration of symptoms that western medicine doctors were not finding any solutions for. 12 years ago I was lost, ashamed, loosing drive to heal my body, cutting out all food except about 5 things that didn’t give me a reaction (literally for years!) I felt like I lost myself completely. I looked healthy, but inside I lost the fun, happy, social person that I remembered. I kept pushing to get better, but my body kept pushing me back. I made the most common assumption of having digestive issues….diet and nutrition. I started eliminating dairy, gluten, soy, eggs and processed foods from my diet. I was making progress but would still have daily gut, fatigue and anxiety issues holding me back. Over the last 10 years I perfected my diet for my body, basically adhering to a Paleo, Lectin free baseline. It wasn’t until life had beaten and dragged me down to my breaking point that I realized that it’s not just about what I’m feeding my body, but more so my mind! I was STRESSED! Marriage, finances, work, all having a cruel reality that I didn’t want to deal with. I needed a change. I decided to start empowering myself with a wealth of knowledge integrating a holistic approach to all aspects of life, nutrition, movement, meditation and supplements. With these changes I started to feel like my old self again, returning to an open mind, passionate about the things I love. This journey taught me that we must listen to our body, take some time, think, learn and grow. Go with that ‘gut feeling’ and make some changes. We all have our own lives filled with struggles and trauma, but with that we also have the ability to do something positive about it. I have a great desire to help others falling short of feeling joy, fulfillment, strength, dedication, community and their own passions everyday! I want for you to be proud of who you are and help others around you!
