I believe everyone has a purpose in life, and becoming a medical professional was mine. I have struggled in the past with health issues and had no clue on what to do to improve them or fix it. I was determined not to use pharmaceuticals to control one problem then add another pill to fix a problem the first one created. I have seen this happen to my own family members, which lead to taking a handful of pills in one day. Our bodies are not made for that and actually have the ability to heal itself. We must take care of ourselves and help it along the way to achieve success. I understand the frustrations of staying healthy and recovering from an injury or illness. Together (along with your health-care provider) we can achieve lasting success. Your not alone, we all need support and guidance.

I have always been fascinated and passionate about how our bodies work, the healing process and preventive care. I was determined to gain the knowledge on how to care for myself, my family, and others who need additional help. We know our bodies best, being in-tune with our bodies will let us know what it needs and does not need. Doctors have the knowledge but many go by signs and symptoms to diagnose, along with labs and text book teachings. They have limited time on visits that does not allow them the time they need to explain treatment plans. Western Medicine is mainly a text book approach, while Functional doctors go outside the box on healing techniques.

Like many, I dedicated myself to my children, family, my career, and being a caregiver which put me last on the list. This lead to a constant state of exhaustion, stress, weight fluctuation, inflammation, and lab values all over the place.

I have been where you are and still have my struggles, but I will never give up on myself or will I on you. I believe that being healthy and happy should be a priority. If there is a will, there is a way. Aging can be a beautiful process, a number does not define you.

My journey is continuing as I prepare to sit for the National Board Certification for Health and Wellness Coaching, ensuring I bring the highest level of care and expertise to each client I serve. I will continue my education in Nutrition and Health to provide up to date knowledge to better serve you in your wellness journey.

Together lets take those small steps that lead to lasting change.

Thrive, not just survive!
