Why I do What I do-
At 20 years old, I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. After seeing more than seven specialists, I was told the words no one at that age ever expects to hear: you will never have children.
By 23, my fiancé at the time (now husband of 20 years), and I had come to terms with this painful reality. We scheduled the surgery to remove my cervix and took the next steps in fighting the disease. But when we arrived for the pre-op blood work, everything changed.
They couldn't perform the surgery- because I was pregnant.
In that moment, everything I thought I knew about my future was rewritten. It was more than a miracle- it was a blessing. I realized that doctors and specialists can be wrong and this caused me to dig deeper into what true healing could mean- which helped me to later, heal myself from Multiple Sclerosis because I learned early on not to just take someone else's word for my health. I was told that I would end up in a wheel chair, that there was no cure and the only option was to suppress my symptoms with medication. But here I am... defying all odds, yet again- walking, hiking and loving life- symptom and medication free.
I become an Integrative Health Practitioner so that I could walk along side those looking for root-cause healing and created a step-by-step method that promotes true total body healing from within, exactly how God intended. Healing the mind, body and spirit as a whole.
This picture to the right is of our 3 daughters... all three, little miracles. But that one in the middle.. she saved my life. Every time I found myself broken down on the bathroom floor, there was one thought I couldn't shake: What if this becomes my children's story too? I grew up without my mother, and I know the pain, confusion, and emptiness that can leave behind. My children deserved something different. They deserved a mother who was present, healthy, and able to walk through life beside them. They became my reason to fight when I had nothing left, my reason to keep searching for answers when they seemed impossible to find, and the reason I refused to stop until I found a path back to health.
The Heart Behind My Coaching Method
That experience didn't just change my life- it reshaped my purpose and paved a foundation for my future, as I was later diagnosed with MS and told I would end up in a wheelchair. I learned first hand how isolating, overwhelming, and frustrating it can be to navigate a diagnosis that threatens your health, your dreams, and your identity. I also discovered the power of resilience, the importance of self-advocacy, and the healing that comes from healing the liver and the gut with herbs, faith and releasing emotions.
I am here to walk alongside you. Whether you're facing a diagnosis, healing from trauma, or simply searching for clarity in the chaos, I bring not just knowledge, but empathy rooted in lived experience. I offer guidance, support, and tools to help you reclaim your voice, your power, and your path forward. You're not alone- and you don't have to figure it all out by yourself.
