My journey into the healing arts began, like many others, out of necessity and a deep frustration with the limitations of the conventional medical model.

​

After the birth of my second child at age 39, my health began to unravel. By 41, I found myself navigating profound hormonal changes, insomnia, anxiety, and a growing list of symptoms that left me feeling unseen and unsupported by the healthcare system. Many of my concerns were dismissed or labeled as psychological, which only deepened my determination to search for answers beyond conventional approaches.

​

What began as a personal search for healing soon became a calling. Over the past 15 years, I have immersed myself in the study of human health and transformation, earning certifications in Holistic Nutrition, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition, Clinical Methylation and Nutrigenomics, and Human Potential Coaching.

During this period, my life also underwent significant personal change. The end of my 16-year marriage required me to rebuild my life as a single mother while simultaneously stepping into a new professional path.

​

My journey was not linear or easy. In many ways, it resembled what many traditions refer to as a “dark night of the soul,” a period of deep questioning, inner work, and personal transformation.

Through years of personal exploration and study of consciousness, spirituality, and human potential, I experienced profound shifts in how I understood healing, identity, and our connection to something greater than ourselves. These experiences reshaped my understanding of health, moving beyond symptom management toward a more integrated view of mind, body, and spirit.

 

This path eventually led me to complete advanced training in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy in 2022. While I do not provide or facilitate altered-state experiences, my training allows me to support individuals in integrating meaningful personal experiences, insights, and periods of transformation into everyday life.

 

Today my work bridges functional health and personal transformation. I support clients through functional lab testing, nutrition and lifestyle guidance, and coaching designed to help individuals reconnect with their own inner wisdom and capacity for healing.

​

Wellness is not a destination. It is a lifelong process of remembering who we are, learning how to care for our bodies, and cultivating a deeper relationship with our lives.

Through this space, my intention is to support people in navigating their own healing journey with greater clarity, resilience, and self-trust.
