Your Guide to Holistic Chronic Health Recovery
"I truly believe that the key to reclaiming your health from chronic illness and regaining control of your life lies in working with a functional health practitioner who genuinely listens, relentlessly investigates, and is committed to getting to the root of your health issues using the most appropriate diagnostic tools."
What my life used to look like...
My story…..Oh, where do I even begin? My childhood was a colorful tapestry of doctor visits, constant aches and pains, and sick days.
At the tender age of three, I was already a veteran of the operating room. Anemia, heart issues, and a slew of other ailments were my constant companions and my normal. And yes, there's even a yearbook photo of me snoozing on my desk—how's that for embarrassing?
Growing pains, they said, every time my joints screamed. And wouldn't you know it? Every family gathering, just as I was about to dive into grandma's mouth watering dishes, bam! A sore throat and fever would crash the party for me.
Fast forward a bit, and there I was, getting married and having my four amazing kids while still young. I always dreamed of a bustling, lively household like my grandmother's. It was tough, but oh, so worth it.
Then my 30s hit me like a freight train. My body decided to throw a full-blown rebellion—atrial fibrillation, IBS, fibromyalgia, surgeries, you name it. By the time I hit my 40's, I couldn't even stand in the shower...
Music was our family's heartbeat, but even that had to pause. I saw countless doctors, but no dice. Then, at my lowest, a ray of hope appeared: an integrative doctor introduced by my pain management doc. It was late 2017, and I was desperate and ready to try anything.
Tragedy struck again when we lost our precious grandson, a heartbreak that tested our family's strength. But at my follow-up, the puzzle pieces finally clicked. Chronic Lyme disease, mold illness, heavy metals, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and more—a whole cocktail of challenges.
The road to recovery was steep. Oral surgeries, detoxing heavy metals, tackling emotional scars—it was a full-time job. But guess what? I reclaimed my life! The fog lifted, and for the first time, I saw the world in high definition.
Inspired by my journey, I dived into studying integrative health and even joined forces with the doctor who turned my life around. By 2022, I was leading my own practice, armed with newfound knowledge and a burning desire to light the way for others.
I learned something crucial: healing isn't just about the physical. I had emotional battles to fight too, from childhood traumas to losing my precious grandson. I learned to process, release, and set boundaries against toxicity, whether from metals or family members.
Now, here I am, no longer just surviving but thriving! Fishing with my husband, exercising, bike rides, gardening and cooking for my family and yes, chasing those grandkids around without a care in the world. No more pain, no more brain fog. Just a clear, vibrant life, filled with purpose and passion.
Through it all, I found my calling—to guide others out of the shadow of chronic illness and into the sunshine of health and vitality.
Now, I'm on a mission—a passionate crusade to help others navigate their health mazes. Because if there's one thing I've learned, it's that every one of us has the strength to reclaim our health and dance through life's storms. So here's to healing, to living, and to loving fiercely!

I thank God for my Life NOW!
