The flower than blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautful of all

Through experience, I've learned empathy and healing.

My health journey began during adolescence - 

being "the patient with invisible and unsolvable mystery illnesses"- making me a walking medical anomaly. 

First, it was a Hashimoto's Thyroiditis diagnosis at 13 - 

followed by Celiac Disease, PCOS, multiple other diagnoses, misdiagnosis, missing puzzle pieces, and eventual chronic neurological Lyme Disease diagnosis in 2017. 

For over two decades,

 I never fit inside Western medicine's traditional diagnostic 'box' with multiple chronic auto-immune diseases, strange symptoms, and atypical patterns for diagnoses-

 leaving me with a dysfunctional life of unpredictable health, no answers, and a plethora of prescription medications 

(when taken in combination, equivalent to a Molotov cocktail). 

Desperate for a chance at a functional life, I was blessed to become a patient at Bastyr University in Seattle, WA. I was introduced to life-changing natural, holistic, alternative medicine and healing modalities. 

I became a patient in awe, a sponge for knowledge and naturopathic ways, with a fire lit within to pass this priceless knowledge and healing methods forward.

I was introduced to and experienced, for the first time, a multitude of natural healing remedies and modalities - 

while learning to understand and support not only my physical body - but myself - 

as a whole - mind, and spirit included. 

The Western medicine ' band-aids' for my 'bullet wounds'' 

were no longer necessary as my Naturopathic Doctor and I worked together to get to the root causes of my symptoms 

while learning to balance and support those dysfunctions by natural means. 

My life had begun on a new trajectory. 

For the first time, there was hope- 

a light in the never-ending tunnel of my hopeless, unsuccessful health journey thus far.

Naturopathic medicine is vast with many avenues to travel in healing. 

Unfortunately, as all good doctors must do, my N.D. retired- 

and his replacement soon moved out of state directly after my chronic neurological Lyme Dx - 

leaving me without a game plan or doctor to turn to. 

So, I took control into my own hands once again.

In returning to school in 2014 and again in 2020, I continued to learn about - combined with how to heal from and live with - my chronic illnesses. 

Through knowledge, dedication, and time, I was able to bring myself from an utterly debilitated state 

(not being able to walk without a cane, grand mal seizures,  neurological Lyme vision/hearing loss, loss of function/independence) 

to one of living a functional life with my chronic illnesses in a "remission" type state. 

Through years of suffering and setbacks, coping with multiple chronic diseases, I discovered infinite learning lessons and my soul's purpose.

I truly believe in naturally restoring the physical body free from symptoms, facilitating alignment, hope, and self-discovery of one's whole self—

reaching the potential to heal emotionally, energetically, and spiritually.

It has been and continues to be my dream and passion to use my personal experience, professional knowledge, and expertise in traditional naturopathic techniques and healing modalities to guide others on their healing journey.

My most significant credential is my experience in healing from chronic Lyme disease and other auto-immune conditions,

I am excited and grateful to participate in addressing the root cause of your health issues -

paying forward the priceless gift of having your health and hope restored.

As your naturopathic practitioner - I am honored to be a cog in the wheel, that is the revolution of natural health and healing. 

We are shifting the paradigm from one of disconnected, pharmaceutical, symptom-suppressing treatment 

to stimulating and naturally supporting the healing of the interconnected bodies (body, emotion, and spirit/energy).
