I work with people who want to get back to living life, not just be alive and have energy again after illness has stolen this from them. People who are willing to make sacrifices to feel good in their body again. A desire for a partnership, a mentor, a coach, accountability partner, to be part of their established clinical team. As an expert in my own health and working with others to develop a unique plan that works for them to see symptoms fade over time.
I’m a nurse and certified functional nutritionist and I know how to be present and patient traveling with you on your journey.
After experiencing my own devastating and personal symptoms of hormonal imbalance, endometriosis, birth defects, inflammation, immense pain- physical and emotional, depression, digestive problems, food sensitivities, infertility, foggy brain and fatigue. I came to understand that everyone has a story, a journey, but we’re often too close to see ourselves subjectively. We can’t see ourselves when we are looking after other people. We don’t take that time to stop and see that we deserve to feel “good”. To not have pain everyday and try to bear through it, because we are just trying to get through another day and maybe tomorrow we won’t feel this way? For years, I suffered with my symptoms, some days unable to even get out of bed, or stop crying because I was in so much pain. I tried multiple conventional approaches, medication, surgeries and the like and had no success.
This brought me to a place that I was either going to give up or OVERCOME! I chose to be a SURVIVOR! I chose to FIGHT and WIN this battle!
I struggled to find the answers, tried conventional medicine, including surgery, bringing me more pain and no results. This sent me on my own journey to take control of my own health, starting with research and training. With much sacrifice, work hard, and no quick fixes, this, got me back to optimal health through a holistic approach. This included nutrition, fitness, nature and faith. Along my path, my husband also struggled with very debilitating multi diagnoses, the 2 major ones being ulcerative colitis and bipolar disorder, which left him unable to work outside of the home for many years. With my education and training and realization of what helped me with my symptoms, I took what was working with me and propelled this into helping him. His journey and symptoms were different, so it took time to find what worked for him, because everyone’s road to healing looks different. Today my husband has been in remission for years and he has regained his strength and health and is now able to not only thrive physically, but he was able to return to gainful employment and has been thriving in his career.
This has allowed me to be able to help many others resolve their debilitating health concerns along my journey back to health and wellbeing.
Truth is, I hate seeing people suffer. I have this passion, love and knowledge for searching for truth and reason. I know we all struggle with commitments, but it frustrates me when people give up on themselves because it’s not easy.
Being well, takes hard work, commitment, consistency and dedication in the fact that you must believe you are worth it!
You will not start feeling better overnight, there are no quick fixes, or you would have found them! It took time for your body to get where it is, it will take time to repair and get it back to optimal state.
My joys and frustrations? People who put poison in their body and expect it to run well for them. I don’t like things that aren’t practical, and I dislike being wasteful or spending money if I don’t have to. I love having pets, being outside in the warm weather and cozy up by the woodstove when it’s cold. I feel best when I have a good routine that helps me stay productive, and I love being around my loved ones, talking and laughing.
My proudest career moment was seeing my husband thriving and going back to work after 10 years of pain, struggle and sickness. This experience showed me to be patient, stay positive, work hard and believe in tomorrow.
