My Health Journey

My journey with chronic health issues began at the age of 19 and lasted for over 15 years, but the good news is, I did get well, and along the way, I learned what it takes to truly heal! Hear the full story below….

My Professional Journey

Who am I outside of work?

  • A lover of learning about all things health, psychology, and the human experience! I try to learn something new every day, and put everything I learn to the test on myself so I can share my experience with others.

  • A lover of nature - I love hiking, foraging, camping, backpacking into the wilderness, and fishing. 

  • A dog mom and lover. I have two sweet pups that light up my life and keep me young.  

  • A builder – my husband and I love building projects. Currently, we’re working on converting a small school bus into a camper! 

  • A tea addict– I love making my own combinations at home, and visiting creative tea houses.
