MY STORY

I was considered a healthy person and had been physically active for all my life but then at the tail end of 2017 is when my symptoms began. My health continued to decline as time went on and I was not able to function at all. I saw doctor after doctor, and had lots of tests done but “everything was normal.”

Frustrated, I took my health into my own hands. I found functional medicine, which looks for the WHY versus treating the symptoms, and reasons why I didn’t feel good, which included lyme and co-infections - and the accompanying gut dysfunction, blood sugar dysregulation and hormone imbalances. I cleaned up my diet and environment, got dental work done, took a hard look at my mindset and tried various adjunct therapies alongside of my protocols. You could say it’s been quite the ride!

As I’ve continued to heal and make improvements in my health journey, I have immersed myself deeply in the wellness space. I became certified through the Nutritional Therapy Association, a program that emphasizes a foundational, bio-individual approach to functional, holistic nutrition that is backed by science, and haven’t looked back since.

Now, from my training and personal experience, I work to share my knowledge to teach and empower others to do the same.
