For years, I worked day and night researching natural medicine and the power of nourishment to help lessen the world’s suffering. I saw the need for help and answered the call willingly. I loved my work and believed nutrition could solve every imbalance in the world.

After my education, I found myself overworked, exhausted, and hiding behind a mask of depression, anxiety, and addiction. I ate nutritiously, but often couldn’t drag myself out of bed from the thousand pound depression living in my chest. I had so much shame around my condition, I hid it from the world. In my free time, I’d pull the mask off and binge on drugs and toxic behavior to feel a momentary sense of freedom. I refused to accept that nutrition wasn’t solving all my problems, living in fear of our society’s stigma on mental illness. I avoided help and let my disease strengthen its grip on my life. I believed it beyond my control and left my power at the doors of my demons.

  In 2018, I found myself for the hundredth time, depleted, depressed, and weeping on a bathroom floor. Except this time, it wasn’t just my mind. My untreated emotional state had stormed the gates and manifested in my body. Auto-immune disease, thyroid dysfunction, embarrassing rashes, and a flu that lasted 3 months. “How could this be? I am a nutritionist!” My body was SCREAMING and I finally had to surrender to the knowing that there is necessary healing beyond the body. I began emotional work and joined a self-improvement group that flooded me with support and enough courage to face the demons in my closet. My spiritual awakening began. I dove into meditation, journaling, trauma work, habit change, mindfulness, dream therapy, yoga, self-love, and eventually the sacred plant medicine Ayahuasca.

I realized I had lived 20 years without loving myself, living in perpetual toxicity, replaying childhood traumas, and lying in an attempt to hold it all together. I hated myself.

I had to start with admitting the truth and then began praying, getting still, and surrendering to something larger than myself. I was rewarded with massive downloads. I had angels, spirit guides, and synchronicities waiting on every corner. There was help all around me that I ignored for years. After a few incredibly challenging nights with Ayahuasca, I purged my trauma, connected with God, and felt gratitude for the very first time. The lies, anger, toxicity, and self-sabotage had to be looked and loved fully to be left behind.

This journey was not easy and it will never be over. This time of vast transformation was filled with writhing anger, setbacks, relapses, and months of painful loss. It’s not all gifts and gratitude. When you change your life, your vibration-- a shedding occurs. People, relationships, comforts… everything leaves. The Universe has a plan for you that you can’t always see. It was incredibly painful and confusing. But, with each space of rot cleared out, a lush garden can grow.

I realized, all of the pain isn’t just our mountain to climb but becomes the medicine we bring the world. This is what shaped me into an empathic healer, a dedicated coach, and a fighting advocate to guide you to your healthiest and highest self.

This is the medicine of Gratitude.

We can change. We can have it all, our potential is limitless. The mind can transform, the body can heal, and our soul’s light can shine through any depth of darkness. It requires all three, working together in healed harmony to reach peace.

I am here to help you heal the parts of your body that need balance, transform your mind, and help you hear your soul’s true calling.

You aren’t alone, you aren’t a hopeless case, and all the power you’ll ever need is right within you.  

If I can make this change, I PROMISE you can too.
