Why Autoimmune Disease Wellness Coaching? Here's My Story...

I once thought I had my health under control. As a mom of three and a dedicated career firefighter, I prided myself on being health-conscious. However, one morning, I woke up to excruciating in my wrists and hands. Simple tasks like brushing my teeth brought tears to my eyes. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and faced with the prospect of taking immunosuppress drugs usually given to cancer patients.

Being a firefighter, the thought of taking these drugs and exposing myself to even more risks was terrifying. I knew there had to be a natural healing path for me. It was then that I remembered a quote from my favorite college class, Health and Wellness 101. In that class, I learned about the power of using food as medicine, the mind-body-soul connection, and how our thoughts and emotions can manifest as physical symptoms.

Driven by my determination to heal naturally, I stopped taking the immunosuppressant drugs after just three days of use. I embraced the concept of Lifestyle Medicine and embarked on a journey to explore the potential of holistic healing. That passion led me to become a certified holistic nutritionist and health coach.

Now, I have the privilege of coaching other women to heal their immune systems naturally, just as I did for myself. I guide them on the transformative journey of embracing food as medicine, nurturing the mind-body-soul connection, and understanding the profound impact our thoughts and emotions can have on our physical well-being.
