I truly believe that you found me for a reason - being that you want to regain your health, shed any extra pounds, and finally step into the life that you desire and so inherently deserve.

I am a wife and mama to one amazing little boy, one little miracle on the way, and 2 small furbabies. I am passionate about helping others transform not only their health, but their lifestyle as well. I help women reverse the symptoms of Hashimoto's, MCTD/Lupus, and other autoimmune conditions - allowing them to step into the healthiest and highest version of themselves. I am your guide to manifest a healthy body, mind and soul through healing foods, mindset shifts, and self-love. We all deserve to live our lives with an abundance of health, love, happiness, and purpose.

A few years ago, when I was starting my healing journey, I struggled with finding the answers that would help me heal and get my life back. When I think back to my life before, it feels like a distant nightmare that I woke up from.

So, why did I become a Holistic Health & Mindset Coach? Well, after struggling with multiple autoimmune diseases myself, I finally decided to take my health into my own hands. I have been living with multiple autoimmune diseases for more than half of my life. I was always looked at as the "sick girl" and it was difficult for me to enjoy the normal things in life because my ailments kept me from living my life to the fullest. After many years of suffering and countless visits to the ER and multiple specialists, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis after my son was born. I was later also diagnosed with Lupus and Dermatomyositis/ Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD) as well. I remember feeling completely lost and defeated because the specialists couldn't help me or give me the answers that I was searching for. They simply prescribed medications and told me that I would have to live with these autoimmune diseases for the rest of my life.

Sound familiar?

Well, I wasn't going to accept that as my "life sentence", so I began doing my own research for holistic healing and eventually became my own health advocate & healer.

I began changing my diet and experimented with many different foods until I found what worked best for my body. I did the Autoimmune Paleo (AIP) diet and the Keto diet, and it just didn't work for me. Then, I stumbled upon Medical Medium information and dove in completely to this new whole food plant-based lifestyle. I began an uphill battle with my own healing journey that had many twists and turns. Let's face it, healing is not linear and it certainly wasn't easy, but it was worth every moment. I also completely changed my lifestyle - career, physical activity, spirituality, and slowed down my life from the fast-paced world that we live in. When I discovered holistic healing, that changed everything for me.

Once I experienced what it was like to feel good, have energy, be happy, and be healthy - there was no turning back to my previous lifestyle.

My autoimmune "dis-eases" became my greatest blessings in disguise.

As ironic as that may sound, I had to hit rock bottom in my own health in order to "wake up" and realize that I wasn't living in alignment with my true self, I was just existing/surviving through life and my body was screaming for help.

Throughout my healing journey I was able to equip myself with all of the knowledge that I have today and completely changed my lifestyle and realized what really matters in life. I learned that without health, we have absolutely nothing. The saying "the greatest wealth is health" is absolutely true. When I began to heal, I knew that I needed to help others so that they would not have to go through what I did.

What started as a quest to conquer my own health issues has turned into a proven method that has helped me and my clients reverse autoimmune condition symptoms and show up as our healthiest, happiest and highest selves like never before. I received my training from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), where I studied the fundamentals of nutrition and practical lifestyle coaching methods and received my certification in Integrative Nutrition. I also have extensive knowledge that I used to heal myself via Medical Medium information and Dr. John McDougall's "Starch Solution". I am also certified in Mindset & Success Coaching, Neural Energetic Wiring (NEW), Neural Energetic Encoding (NEE), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), and Hypnosis. I received these certifications through the Yes Supply Method.
