When I was five, I was admitted to the hospital with a mysterious illness, enduring a nasal tube insertion without much fuss. In elementary school, my back seized up while playing soccer, and by my teenage years, I faced more severe episodes, including one that left me unable to stand for a day. Physical therapy and yoga became a regular part of my life after another back incident at volleyball practice at age 15. As a highly sensitive person, I found that conventional drugs and medical procedures often failed me. I experienced all four dry sockets when my wisdom teeth were removed and faced a significant health scare in my early 30s when an ovarian cyst required surgery. After a particularly stressful period and a debilitating virus, I knew it was time to listen to my body and take charge of my health. That's when my journey toward holistic wellness began, about ten years ago.

​

As a young adult, I became increasingly aware of corruption in various industries. I saw firsthand how doctors recommended unnecessary services, how wineries added artificial dyes to wines, and how a for-profit school admitted any student with a Pell Grant and a pulse. I witnessed the devastating impact of the opioid crisis through friends, students and their families. From 2020-2023, I chose to not adhere to public health recommendations and felt socially isolated, was fired from a teaching job and grappled with anger towards drug companies, the food industry, and political systems that prioritized profit over people. Identifying as a rebel and a fighter, I questioned authority and stood up against these industries, further ensconced in my own health advocacy and serving our members.

​

I learned that my health journey wasn't just driven by a rebel personality but by a body in distress. My toxic burden was overflowing, leading to microbiome dysbiosis and chronic infections like Intestinal Methane Overgrowth (IMO), parasites, and mold/fungal overgrowth. The path back to health has included Hydrogen-Rich Water, meditation, yoga, clean eating, gentle detoxification, and a personalized protocol to maintain vitality. This included tailored supplements based on my genetics and microbiome. I believe everything happens for a reason, and if my story resonates with you, I can help you carve a path forward and get back to your best. Together, we can uncover the root causes of dysfunction in your body, empowering you to become your own health CEO and achieve your fullest vitality.
