MY STORY

From patient to practitioner.

For most of my life, I have suffered from an autoimmune disease called psoriasis. As a 12-year-old, I walked around with a hideous skin rash; my confidence was lost. While my mom introduced me to healthy food choices and supplementation, for my skin, my love of nutrition began. However, my health journey didn't stop there.

 

As a teenager, I tried to cover up my insecurities by smoked and drinking. As you all know, it didn't work. In addition, I chased every low-fat trend the 90s threw at me while sucking back diet cokes and sprinkling aspartame in my coffee and food. 

 

At 24, I became a single mom working three jobs to support my daughter and myself. My body paid the price. 

At 40, I developed oral thrush (candida). I eliminated the inflammatory triggers, added in herbs and vitamins, and the candida vanished. Around the same time, a back injury during a CrossFit class sent me back to school for a business degree.

At 50, during a workout, I had chest pains. The angiogram found one of my main arteries 90% blocked. A stent was placed. How did I get here? Was it heredity? Was it from the COVID shots? Was it from the food I was eating? I needed answers, so I started researching studies on heart diseases and the causes.  

What I found blew me away. So many illnesses come from toxins from our food, air, water, cleaning products, beauty products, clothing, medications, and yes, even parasites. We are living in a world of toxic chemicals and everything we touch, smell, and eat is making a difference between life and death.

 

Me decision to become a fully committed Certified Functional Nutritionist was easy. I finished my certification, and I was hired to become a Functional Nutritionist and Supplements Consultant at am amazing health food store. 

 

Now, it is your time to take control of your life. Don't let the dictators take hold of you and your health. I don't want anyone else to be blindsided the way I was. Nutrition, supplements and lifestyle can prevent, maintain and even reverse what we've been told is permanent.

There is no one-size-fits-all, in nutrition. You are unique. I am here to listen to your story, and to find the clues to uncover the root cause of your illness.
