Growing up in the city with parents rooted in farming, I gained a profound appreciation for the connection between lifestyle, environment, and health. However, it wasn't until a pivotal moment in my life, when my sister was diagnosed with Glioblastoma multiforme cancer in her spine, that the significance of these factors truly hit home.

In my thirties, I faced my own health challenges, grappling with fertility issues and thyroid disorder. My early forties brought an even more challenging diagnosis of autoimmune disease, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Determined to heal, I chose a holistic path, which involved a radical transformation of my lifestyle. I made critical changes, including stepping away from my career, prioritizing sleep, incorporating nature walks, embracing meditation, and diving deep into the study of toxic burdens on our digestive system. The removal of inflammatory foods was just one piece of the puzzle.

These events made it abundantly clear that health is not solely about what we eat, but also about how we manage stress, nurture our mental and emotional well-being, and make mindful choices in every aspect of our lives. This realization ignited my journey into the realm of holistic health, which encompasses the body, mind, and spirit.

This transformative journey took six months, but the results were profound—I regained my energy and overall well-being. Encouraged by my own success, I decided to return to school to study holistic nutrition. Implementing wellness practices into my life and making conscious choices, not just regarding food but also in managing stress and sleep, became my daily mission.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to health and wellness; we all have our unique blueprints. Guiding people to discover their own blueprint and coaching them as they experiment with what best supports their holistic health is my true calling.
