Before launching her health coaching practice, she was a mental health professional for over 15 years. She embarked on becoming a fitness and health professional and also represents the mission of clean living and non toxic products and solutions. In 2017 at her healthiest, she became her sickest- and was diagnosed with autoimmune conditions, IBS, SIBO and Chronic Lyme. She went from being super fit to feeling exhausted and drained and gaining 25 lbs. It felt as if her light went out. It was a rough journey- She sought the help of holistic practitioners to help her regain her health. She started focusing on improving gut health, eating nutrient dense foods, lowering stress, moving her body in ways that didn’t inflame her and she started focusing on balance. She incorporated whole foods and minimally processed foods in her daily life and saw the power of how this helped facilitate healing in her body.
It was not an overnight process- it was a journey- a journey where she learned that extremes no longer worked for her, that working out the same way no longer served her and that balance is what worked to helped her reclaim herself. She worked hard to heal and to rebuild her health and loves to help others to reclaim their health through a holistic approach.
