My passion for holistic health was sparked by my own health journey. For most of my life I was fit & fun-loving. I enjoyed sports, stayed out late, and was a foodie who had to try “the most popular thing” on the menu.

But in 2015, that all changed. 

I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis & Rheumatoid Arthritis. My trips to the gym & restaurants were soon outnumbered by trips to urgent care and pharmacies. At times the pain was so intense I couldn’t get out of bed. Even playing with my kids or going to work was often excruciating. As perplexed doctors prescribed medications, I had minimal relief, major side effects, and became a shell of my pre-diagnosis-self.

Then, my doctor suggested I get my colon removed. That was the turning point. I had to find a way to feel better besides life-altering surgery. And eventually, I did. Through holistic modalities I now use in my practice, I slowly got better. Today, I’m off most meds, & enjoy many things from before my diagnosis.

This journey is what I bring to my work everyday. I understand the grief of losing the life you once had, the frustration of wondering why your body is failing you, and the hopelessness of not having answers. Having found what makes me well, I’ve made it my mission to help others find what makes them well also.
