I have always enjoyed embracing the unconventional paths in life. So, when my health began to decline and I was diagnosed with a multitude of chronic illnesses, it took no one by surprise when I packed up my life, moved into a van, and started on a quest to learn how to heal myself.

The decline in my health was slow and spanned almost a decade. After experiencing a year of back-to-back traumas, most of my symptoms were explainable at first. Anxiety, panic attacks, sleep paralysis…it all made perfect sense. As time went on though, more and more symptoms began to appear. Suddenly I was having more digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, suddenly there was pain in my joints that wasn’t there before. After a terrible case of norovirus, I developed dozens of food allergies overnight, I was suddenly experiencing episodes of pancreatitis, I couldn’t digest food and started rapidly losing weight. And then the worst of it came a few years after that - A full body rash, night sweats, coughing, fevers, agonizing pain, and my blood even felt as if it was made of battery acid. 

I met with dozens of doctors, clinics, and specialists, none of whom could tell me what was wrong with me. I was put on steroids, biologics, pain medications, and various other prescriptions, all of which masked my symptoms and gave me terrible side effects. I poured myself over medical journals, books, and articles - hoping and praying I would stumble across the answer to my problems. My first major victory came when I finally came across mold illness and begged for testing. When I received confirmation that I was in fact very moldy, I felt an initial sense of liberation. I moved out of my house, bought a van, left my job, and even ended a long-term relationship. The reality was that I had been living a life that I was deeply unhappy with and was carrying around the weight of unprocessed trauma and had only then in that moment finally felt like I had been given permission to do something about it. I was so focused and ready to heal. But of course, it wasn’t that simple…

I found an incredible naturopath who specialized in mold illness and immediately got to work with her. But no matter what protocol she prescribed me, we were always met with the same roadblock - I was dealing with MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome). My MCAS had become such a powerful protector of my body, and in fact was TOO powerful. I would react poorly to everything, even the tiniest doses of the most beneficial and mild supplements would send me into a full-scale flare up. I felt trapped, and I felt like my body was working against me.

My “Aha” moment came when I read the book, How to Heal Yourself When No One Else Can by Amy Scher. She posed a question that completely changed my perspective on everything. The question: “Do you even want to heal?” 

‘What an absurd question’, I thought. Of COURSE I want to heal. 

That question sat with me though, and I couldn’t get it out of my head. I started asking myself, ‘is there a reason why I wouldn’t want to heal?’ and ‘how is my illness keeping me safe?’. The realization started to sink in, that my body wasn’t working against me, it was protecting me. It was holding boundaries for me in ways that I wasn’t for myself. It was saying ‘no’ because I wouldn’t. And most importantly, it did not trust me nor my decision-making. With this realization, came a period of mourning. I finally recognized all of the areas of my life that I had compromised myself to keep others happy, all the self-devaluation, and all the ways I had villainized my body for speaking out when I had put it in harm’s way.

I dedicated myself to learning how to work with my body, rather than against it. I started learning everything I could get my hands on about how to create safety in my body - everything from somatic practices and limbic rewiring to subconscious reprogramming and especially, energy medicine. It was during this time I found Donna Eden's book, Energy Medicine and read it cover to cover multiple times. I now practice energy medicine and am still a student of Eden Energy Medicine. After nearly a year of just working on creating a sense of safety in my body, and working with my own subtle energies, I finally started to gain the trust of my body. My MCAS symptoms became less and less intense, and I was finally able to implement my mold detox protocol with ease. Though I still continue to work on my health today, as there are always a multitude of layers when it comes to wellness, I felt a newfound sense of purpose emerging, and most importantly, I felt like myself.

I’ve now made it my mission to help guide others on their journeys of self-healing. The more I coach and witness the expansion and growth of my clients, the more excited and passionate I become about this work. I’m excited to meet you where you are, hear your story, and walk with you on your path to wellness!
