WHAT DOES YOUR BODY NEED IN ORDER TO HEAL? WHAT DOES YOU BODY NEED TO SAY NO TO?
TAKE A MOMENT TO REFLECT. BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF.
1
THE MIND-BODY DISCONNECTION
For most of my life I only knew one speed; 100 mph. My over-achiever mentality lead me to graduating high school and college early, working in my "dream" career that later burned me out at the age of 25. All while building a successful personal training, health coaching and wellness consulting business.
I was the doer, the YES girl, the "hustle and grind" girl, the perfectionist...which came with a harsh inner critic on the side. While these maybe seem like good traits on the outside; that mindset sabotaged me from feeling and being in tune with my inner being.
Even though my life was so full of "things," "tasks" and "events" at the end of the day...
I was spiritually bankrupt.

YOUR BODY WILL HEAL...IF YOU LET IT.
After years of not listening to my body, it told me loud and clear something needed to shift. My 12 hour work days, 2-hours of high-intensity workouts (helloooo overtraining), disordered eating, late nights and lack of sleep were not going to cut it anymore. On top of this, I was also dealing with a "mystery illness." My bucket poured over. I didn't have my period for 2-years, I gained 30 pounds (despite all the exercise and zero eating I was doing...If I only knew what I do now). I looked like I was 9-months pregnant on a regular basis with extreme bloating, constipation, chronic fatigue, hair loss, chest pain/shortness of breath, hives, food allergies to EVERYTHING, and extremely painful monthly periods that lead me into the emergency room (twice). I didn't want to leave my house, I didn't want to be seen, I lost connection to who I was. I didn't have the motivation, joy, and drive that I once did. Anxiety started and depression soon followed.
This was my rock bottom.
Yet...I had a gut feeling there was more. There were answers. Healing did and still does exist.

THE SHIFT.
After going to every specialist you could ever imagine and getting NO answers; only eat less and workout more (SAY WHAT?). I decided to take this matter into my own hands. I read every holistic book and research article that I could get my hands on. I became so intrigued with the body and how it can heal through nutrition, herbs, movement, connection, community and mind-body work. My life-long fascination with health, and my journey of healing turned into becoming a certified health coach and functional medicine practitioner. Through my trial and error, I have developed protocols, and programs for hundreds of patients worldwide.
THE ROOT CAUSE.
After years of research, trial and error and working with patients, I found MANY patterns. Yes, I fully believe we are all bio-chemical individuals and there is a time and place for testing, supplements and treatment plans. We are surprisingly more alike than different. What I found was a massive correlation between the mind, body and gut in relation to autoimmune disease, gut/hormone imbalances, anxiety and depression. Scientifically speaking, this is called the Gut-Brain Axis. In my 2-year journey of healing my gut, working on deep inner healing, building my spirituality, detoxing my life, and using food as medicine -my symptoms disappeared. Today, I share my knowledge, experience, and journey with others to identify the splinters, dig down to the root cause, and bridge the gap between their own power to change and the bodies ability to heal.
