After years of struggling with irregular periods, chronic fatigue, mood swings, inflammation, digestive issues, and weight gain, I reached a breaking point. I remember it so vividly — collapsing to the floor from weakness and promising myself never again.

The doctors I turned to couldn’t give me answers (and in many ways, their treatments made things worse). So I made it my job to figure it out.

That decision led me into the world of holistic and functional healing. I moved away from what was “normal” in society and discovered what had been missed all along — an autoimmune condition and unhealed emotional trauma that had been driving so many of my symptoms.

From there, everything changed. I honored my body by removing toxins, fueling myself with the best, and learning to listen to what it truly needed. I began healing at the root cause — and most importantly, I released fear and started trusting my journey.

Along the way, I pursued my education so I could help other women do the same. My mission is to shift the narrative and encourage those who feel dismissed or alone in their health journey. You don’t have to accept being told “everything looks normal.” You can say no, go against the grain, and find confidence in speaking up.

I know, because I’ve been there. I did it. And I feel like the best version of myself today.

You can too.
