I grew up in a home that had mold and as a child, I was chronically ill. I was put on round after round of antibiotics. At 8 years old, three ticks were found in my head. Nothing was thought of back then in the early 80’s, my parents removed them and life went on. By the time I became a teenager, I had chronic sore throats and headaches and at 20 years old,  I made one of the biggest mistakes of my life- I got silicone breast implants to correct a congenital birth defect called Poland’s Syndrome. 

 

About one and a half years after having breast implants, I began getting chronic sinus infections, mono, ear infections- the silicone heating up in my body at 98 degrees was making me sick, not to mention the additional chemicals implants are made of.  What I did not know was that these implants were wreaking havoc on my immune system and awakening the toxins that had been dormant- mold toxicity and Lyme. 

 

It wasn’t until my family and I moved into a new home that contained mold, that exasperated my symptoms to the point where I felt terrible daily. This pushed me to dig and I learned about Breast Implant Illness and learned that I had 38 out of the 44 symptoms associated with Bii. With these symptoms came a Lupus diagnosis. I was struggling as a mother, a wife, and a business owner from symptoms that on some days were debilitating. 

 

As a counselor and energy therapist, I already had the education and knowledge to heal my body on a spiritual and energetic level but I was missing the physical connection. I decided to remove my implants (explant) and go back to school for Integrative Health so I could learn not only to support my body but also help my clients who come to me for energy work. I learned how to read bloodwork from a functional perspective to better understand what my body needed. I learned about nutrition, gut health and ways to support my nervous system. I began this journey of self healing, incorporating everything I learned.   Combining  energy therapy modalities and properly supporting my body, I was able to get my body out of a crippling  Lupus flare that had been going on for 8 months without medication. 

 

My story is not unique. My story is so common. So many women are struggling with chronic illness and  are unable to get answers through the Western medicine model. Women being told their “labs look normal” when they can barely function. I am here to listen, guide, educate, and empower you on your health and wellness journey. By addressing each aspect of the human experience, the spiritual body, the physical body and the emotional body- you can heal.
