My Wholistic Journey
The #1 question I get from my clients and friends is
What made you choose this career and lifestyle????
I actually cannot stand this question because I did not necessarily dream of this life and career since I was a child like some people did about being a lawyer, doctor, teacher, etc. I used to be a hypochondriac who feared everything. I would run to my doctor for every ache and pain and was probably the healthiest patient they treated. My blood tests, MRIs, ultrasounds were always normal, but I never felt normal and healthy. I suffered from anxiety, vertigo, sinus infections, ear infections, ocular migraines, neuralgia and did not understand why and I was only in my late twenties. Then I had my first child...she entered the world crying and did not stop for almost 2 years. She had severe acid reflux, eczema, constant ear infections, high fevers and eventually we discovered she had developed an auto-inflammatory disease PFAPA. The two years she was sick I went through so many pediatricians and none of them could figure out WHY so they would just treat her symptoms which would, in turn, make her worse. I was lost and defeated so I finally started to research on my own and came across one website listing dairy allergy as a cause for most of the illnesses and symptoms she had so I removed it slowly from her diet and she finally started to feel relief and the ear infections stopped 100%.
When my second child was born within 3 days she was diagnosed with a milk protein allergy so we decided to remove all dairy from our diet as a family.
The results were amazing and no one suffered from ear infections, sinus infections, eczema, or outside allergies anymore.
Later we decided to remove gluten from our diet which added to our quality of life as a family. Today we eat clean, whole foods that I cook and we have never felt better. Our family rarely gets sick and we rarely run out of energy. Throughout this journey, I learned a lot from my research and personal experience and wanted to learn more so I continued working on my education and certifications. I now know the importance of nutrition and that it plays a major role in everyone's health. Also, there is a cause for every disease so there is hope for most of us who have daily health struggles like my family used to experience. Today I feel like this path was my chosen path.
I LOVE what I do and feel fulfilled every day of my life. I have learned so many life-changing lessons and I get to surround myself with healers of all kinds which is a bonus working in this field. My path started with nutrition, which was a game changer for our family but it goes so much deeper than just nutrition. That is why I focus on balancing the mind, body, and spirit and the confidence I received from healing my family and myself has replaced the fear I once had. I now realize my fears were solely based on my lack of knowledge and we all know knowledge is power.
