Welcome friend, I'm so glad you are here!

Let us start with the fun part! I'm a proud Army wife, mother to two beautiful children, and dog mom to three crazy yet lovable dogs. As a military family, we've enjoyed moving six times in the past ten years. We have grown to love this lifestyle, although we leave a part of us behind with every move. I'm a native of Colorado, a giant bookworm, a coffee fanatic, and training to run the Athens marathon in 2024!

I have always been passionate about helping people and becoming a Physician Assistant initially allowed me to do so. Although grateful for the knowledge and experience, I wanted more from how conventional medicine treated illness. I soon became interested in functional medicine because it gave the answers that conventional medicine failed to provide. My interest led me to becoming a Certified  Practitioner through the Institute for Functional Medicine and Integrative Health Practitioner Level 2 (IHP-2). I also had a personal interest in finding solutions because, during this time, I was on my own journey to finding healing from chronic illness.

For the past 10 years, I have identified as a "sick" person. I jumped from doctor to doctor, chasing diagnoses, searching for answers, and hoping for relief from my 30+ symptoms. Five years into living with chronic symptoms, I was pregnant with my daughter and diagnosed with Lyme disease... I thought this was it! I can finally treat it and move on with my life.

I could not have been more wrong. 

Over those 5 years, I kept adding to my list of diagnoses, including MCAS, adrenal fatigue, Hashimoto's, mold illness, multiple chemical and food sensitivities, leaky gut, and so much more. Sound familiar? I tried treatments like herbs, supplements (20+ pills a day), IV treatments, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, antibiotics, DNRS for 6 months, endless detoxes, coffee enemas, liver cleanses, diets (leading to severe orthorexia), and finally bee venom therapy FOR TWO WHOLE YEARS. That is right, for 2 years, I stung myself with live bees three times a week!

And guess what? I started feeling better because I was bringing balance back to my physical body. Still, I lived with intense and deep-rooted fear, worry, and anxiety about getting sick again. This caused me to put my life on hold, which included holding off on having more children, not pursuing my passion, staying on a strict diet and lifestyle regimen, leaving a job I enjoyed because it was too stressful, and missing out on the life I have always wanted for myself. It was a constant waiting game of when I would be sick again...Sound familiar?

And then...I was introduced to NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), where I learned that negative emotions and limiting beliefs block us from truly healing and being who we are truly meant to be, living the life we are meant to live....and after releasing the baggage during a Breakthrough Session using Mental and Emotional Release® Therapy (MER), the rest is history...

I can finally and without hesitation say I am healed. I AM HEALED! Along with putting my symptoms and diagnoses in the past, I also put away my fear, worry, and anxiety about getting sick again. Chronic illness no longer has a hold on me. Instead of saying, "someday," "when I get healthy," or "I can't because...." I now say, "Let's do this," "What's next on my bucket list" and "I'm excited to start living."

There were times in my journey when I truly wanted to give up on life because I couldn't see a future beyond illness. But yet, I would do it all over again because of the lessons I learned along the way. My passion and purpose are to help others with chronic symptoms find the power in themselves to heal and overcome so they can return to living the life they are meant to live.  I found healing for myself and would want nothing more than to do the same for others on their path to healing.

With light and love,
