A bit about my personal journey…

If you had told me several years ago my life’s purpose and path would center around health and healing, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. At only 26 I found myself experiencing vague symptoms that no doctor could find an answer to. The process left me feeling exhausted and empty – and I hadn’t felt like myself in years. I didn’t understand what was causing my health issues, why they were manifesting, or if they would ever get better. I felt out of control in my own body and was without answers. Despite all this, my desire and hope for a more fulfilling, happy, and involved life wouldn’t dissipate. I believed in my heart there was more for me.

At the time, I had no idea the majority of my symptoms stemmed from a combination of imbalances in my body that lead to the perfect storm. In short – my body was over burdened – stress, poor digestion, imbalanced blood sugar, adrenal fatigue, hormonal disruption, chronic infections, and environmental toxic exposure all contributed to the daily malaise I was experiencing. All of this seemed to drown out the adventurous, inspired woman I had knew myself to be – and I wanted answers.

Luckily I met somebody who was an FNTP and started working with them right away. I started noticing changes for the better after about three months. About a year into healing my journey, as I was seeing various practitioners, things began working again and coming back into balance. I felt better than I had in years! I had no idea the enormous impact food and nutrition would have in my life until I witnessed first hand the wellbeing and stability it created for me, and I finally began to feel like myself again.

Mahatma Ghandi is quoted as saying, “health is the real wealth, and not pieces of gold or silver” – and boy, I couldn’t agree more. I have learned that good health allows us to live our lives unencumbered – lives that are full and vibrant and involved and brave. We can do more when we feel good in our bodies; we can help more people, be more present in our closest relationships, chase down our deepest dreams and desires. Health allows us freedom – the freedom to fully experience ourselves in this life and live it to the fullest.
