Former Fitness Competitor

From a young age I struggled with many health issues. Growing up I experienced everything from digestive issues, skin issues, chronic strep throat, anxiety, to hormonal imbalances, and more. Unfortunately, I was prescribed many different types of antibiotics that were taken for over a course of 9 years. This in turn caused even more health issues down the road. I experienced even more problems with my gut, antibiotic resistance, as well as some adverse rare side effects to some of the medications that lead to me having a seizure and being hospitalized. At that point I had enough of going from doctor to one specialist after another, with no real answers as to why I was experiencing the symptoms and health issues I was going through.
Finally, after years of increased symptoms, being misdiagnosed and put on unnecessary medications, and no real answers to why my health kept continuing to deteriorate, I was at my wits end with conventional medicine. I started to look elsewhere for help and answers to what could be going on with my body.
I started to research and study integrative health and Functional Medicine protocols from one of the most amazing Naturopathic Doctors, DR. Stephan Cabral, who runs one of the world's largest international wellness practices. I finally began to understand and realize that all of these health issues and symptoms I was experiencing had an underlying root cause. Using this knowledge along with lab testing I was able to help rebalance my body back to a healthy state.
I am now a L1 graduate from the Integrative Health Practitioner Institute and have a deep passion for sharing my knowledge with my clients and helping them uncover the root cause of their imbalances so we can work on rebalancing their bodies back to health so they can truly thrive and live their best life.
