My Story — and Why I Do What I Do
At 20 years old, I was handed a Lupus diagnosis while pregnant with my second baby… with a ten-month-old already on my hip.
Two babies in under a year — not by plan — and my health crashed.
My husband and I were just trying to keep our heads above water. We were young, exhausted, and doing everything we could to make it through each day. But then came Hashimoto’s. Then the back pain. Then the kind of bone-deep exhaustion that made simply getting out of bed feel like climbing a mountain.
I went from doctor to doctor, desperate for answers. I didn’t want perfection — I just wanted to function. To be awake all day. To stop vomiting. To be present with my kids and not feel like a burden on my family.
But instead of help, I got dismissal.
“Just get used to it.”
“This is your new normal.”
That “normal” meant over 30 prescriptions a day and still barely surviving. I was told to accept feeling awful, to accept missing out on life, to accept that illness was now who I was.
But one day, something shifted.
This wasn’t just about me anymore. It was about my husband, my kids, our future. I decided I was done accepting a life that didn’t feel like mine.
I stopped waiting for someone else to fix me. I dug into the root causes of illness — layer by layer — and slowly began to rebuild my health. I went from barely functioning to walking miles a day, rollerblading with my daughter, and actually living again.
That obsession with healing became my purpose.
Today, I’m a Level 3 Integrative Health Practitioner (Mastery) and High Performance Health Coach, helping people just like you get to the real root of why they feel off — instead of chasing symptoms. I combine functional testing, nervous system regulation, mineral balancing, and sustainable lifestyle shifts to create personalized plans that actually work.
Unlike many practitioners, I’ve lived it.
I know what it feels like to be sick, dismissed, and out of options.
I know how lonely it can be when no one really gets it.
And I know — because I’ve walked this road with my own family — that healing is absolutely possible.
If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and finally get to the root of what’s going on, I’d be honored to help you peel back the layers of your health, your habits, and your excuses — with love and a little tough truth.
