Owner & Founder, Holistic Health Coach, Certified IIN Health Coach

Ever since I was a child, health and medicine have fascinated me. The human body is an extraordinary machine that works beautifully….until it doesn’t. Although my diet has always been pretty healthy, I have had quite a few health challenges to overcome. In my late teens and early twenties, I started to lose my hair by the fistful, my sleep was not great, I was tired all the time, and at one point was put on bed rest for severe palpitations and exhaustion. Finally, in 2011, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. 

At first, I tried the conventional medicine protocol and was put on Levothyroxine. My doctor increased the dose over time yet none of my symptoms were going away and the medicine was making my heart beat too fast. I saw several other conventional doctors but none of them could help me and one of them told me it was all in my head! So, I decided to look at what I could do to help my body out naturally. I tried Iodine, TCM, homeopathy, supplements, diets. You name it, I tried it. Nothing was working and in the meantime I was depressed, stuck in a rut, directionless, and I felt like life was never going to improve. I was also piling on new symptoms like blood in my stools, brain fog, difficulty concentrating, poor focus, weight gain, and zero energy. Then, in 2016, my mother was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of cervical cancer. According to conventional medicine, her prognosis was very poor. Well, we are not the type of people to take things lying down, so we both took a deep dive and read everything we could about what she could do to put luck on her side. 

Long story short, my mother is alive and well and is dedicating her life to helping others (link). All this research to help my mother led me to read Dr. William Li’s book Eat to Beat Cancer and follow his social media. One day, I read one of his posts about the benefits of pomegranates for leaky gut (one of the pillars of autoimmunity according to Functional medicine). I started to eat 1 pomegranate a day and after 2 weeks, the blood in my stools went away! Around the same time, I also followed the AIP (Autoimmune Protocol) diet on and off. The AIP diet helped me a lot for my hair loss, brain fog, weight gain, inflammation, and energy. Now, my body was on the mend but I was still stuck in my rut. I looked at different career paths but nothing was calling my name. Finally, in 2023 I learned about IIN and the health coach training they offered. I was thrilled! IIN’s program covered health, medicine, nutrition, lifestyle, holistic solutions, relationships, and more. I could finally combine my love for medicine, the human body, nutrition, holistic remedies and help people at the same time. 

Today, I am delighted to help you on your journey to better health and the joyful, exciting, and passionate life you deserve. I will help you empower yourself so you can finally and successfully transform your life and health. I know you can do it because I did.
