For as long as I can remember, I wanted my life to be EXTRAORDINARY.

As I grew up and “adulted” more and more, I became pretty disappointed with my life. 

On top of that, I found myself struggling with health issues…

(planning my days around my naps, spending hours on makeup and skincare for acne, wasting time laying down with stomach pains or dealing with joint pain and stiffness or trying to calm down from an intense mood swing or struggling to focus… the list goes on)

Within the first few years of navigating my healing, I lost my favorite person in the world- my brother, Danny. 

He was a BRIGHT light- so special. He had autism and by the age of 18, his personality was much like Buddy The Elf- so loving, kind, friendly, silly, hilarious, and pure.

Danny had life figured out. He didn’t filter himself or care what anyone else thought. He didn’t waste his precious time and energy on anything that didn’t light him up. He dreamed big, declaring he would be a music teacher and a rock star (inspired from School of Rock lol.) He researched and insisted on singing and music lessons. He was determined to make his dreams a reality. He was going to break through any barriers in his way. By simply being SO himself, he impacted me so much in his 18 years.

As I processed his passing, I developed my true beliefs about life and death. I believe that we’re souls and we’re inhabiting our bodies. Our bodies and minds are NOT us, they’re just tools we have in this lifetime for our souls to live out our lives on earth.

This is why it’s important to take care of our bodies and minds… they’re like these precious (and frankly, magical) machines that allow us to feel great when we take care of them! 

But we’re not our bodies and minds, we’re our souls. So it’s also important to learn how to tune inward to our souls and honor what they’re craving… this is how we know how to navigate life and have the impact we’re meant to have.

I knew my health issues were turning my precious machine into a burden and the world’s “shoulds” were blocking me from my soul’s purpose. The health issues and society’s rule book had to go.

My health journey was full of ups and downs. I started where we all begin- the doctor. I knew drugs and procedures wouldn’t help me stop the problems at the root.

I began learning about different healing modalities. At first, I went overboard- eating restrictive diets, not going out with friends, buying expensive products, spending my free time and energy researching and doing unnecessary practices. I’m happy to tell you- that ain’t the answer!!!

Eventually, I enrolled in The Institute for Integrative Nutrition. I was able to heal ALL of these issues using a holistic, natural approach. And it didn’t require all of the restriction, willpower, and force I was using before.

What a relief to realize that healing doesn’t require ALL of the things. (I know you’ve felt overwhelmed by all the contradicting advice on social media!) It’s about getting to the root of the problems unique to you, supporting your body to heal itself, and having balance.

My health journey became a spiritual journey, business journey, beauty journey, and relationship journey… As I healed my body, I also healed my ability to tune into my intuition. I healed my limiting beliefs around what’s possible for me. I healed my skin. I healed my people-pleasing tendencies. I dropped the layers of conditioning from others and society and became more and more ME.

And I am here to guide you to be more YOU. To live up to your full potential, make your time here on earth extraordinary, and feel better and better as you do it.
