It has been a journey to get to this point, but I want to briefly share with you why I’m a Wellness Coach.

I’ve always been active and have loved sports and exercise in general. Buuut, I also loved ice cream. Out of high school I gained a solid 40 pounds. This is what led to my initial interest in health. And like so many women do, I spent several years yo-yo dieting and losing and gaining the same 25 pounds over and over and over again.

In my mid-twenties, however, my health took a serious nose dive. I became tired- really, really tired- all of the time. Severe brain fog and debilitating headaches were the norm, along with high blood pressure and heart palpitations. Chronic, widespread, unexplained pain accompanied me most days. Some days I couldn’t lift my arms over my head and other days I struggled to walk. Intense bouts of vertigo would render me useless. And, anxiety and panic attacks completely stole my peace. Despite the mounting and intensifying symptoms, conventional medicine had zero to offer. I was labeled with fibromyalgia and handed a prescription for some strong painkillers.

GAH! I could not imagine living (if you can call what I was doing even living) my life just managing symptoms with drugs.

I wanted health! I wanted freedom! I wanted to live a life of joy and vitality!

Needless to say, I took an alternative route. And I am so thankful I did. Today, over a decade later, I’m the healthiest, most energetic, and happiest I can remember ever being. All of the symptoms that once plagued me are virtually non-existent.

How did I regain my health and my life?

While I didn’t regain my health over night, it also didn’t take long to notice improvements. I devoured as much information as possible and started experimenting with food and holistic supplements. I practiced taking my thoughts captive and placing complete trust in God, no matter the outcome. I worked with a functional doctor. I received a certification in Holistic Nutrition. And at my core, I trusted that God created my body to heal and thrive.

Over time, I’ve made big changes in my mindset and my lifestyle that have allowed my body to come back into balance. It has been a journey, and still is, as I strive to improve, mind, body, and soul, every single day. Like everyone, I have ups and downs in all areas of life. But, I have a beautiful foundation to come back to for living well.

Now, I’m using my experience and everything I’ve learned to walk alongside others on their journeys. I want to see other women (YOU!) come to life with more energy than they ever thought possible and take on their dreams full-force! I want to show others HOW to live well. No short-term fixes. Just real, lasting change.
