Illness is an invitation…
into the deeper workings of YOU
My journey began at the age of three
I was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis when I was three years old after complaining to my mother that my knee was hurting. I was given pain medication - high dose Naproxen - and essentially told to live with it. I’ve spent countless mornings and nights in pain - sometimes bed ridden. The medical system offered no explanation for why I was experiencing such debilitating pain.
I have come to believe that pain, given the opportunity, is a wonderful teacher. It changed the way I had to live in my body, to treat my body. I was very fortunate to have parents who were supportive of me pursuing holistic options such as chiropractic, body work and yoga.
This challenge would serve as my ‘canary in the coal mine’ ~ helping me to innerstand my limits while serving as one of my greatest teachers. (Teachers are not always kind).
Today I gratefully live pain free and full of purpose. I am here to help you do the same.
After nearly a decade on immunosuppressants, pain meds, steroid injections and more, my gut was a hot mess. So much so that I was (teasingly) offered beano in middle school. I was bloated, constipated and feeling downright awful.
I can fortunately say that currently my digestion is the best it’s ever been. I have explored nearly every type of ‘diet’, cleanse, supplement… you name it. My journey of healing has propelled me into deep understanding of the body, our environment, and the central role of nervous system regulation.
My passion is rooted in the deep understanding of the interconnectedness of all things as it relates to our felt sense of well-being.
More than anything I know that you are looking for a more than a prescription or just another supplement. You are looking to understand why you don’t feel well and what you can proactively do to change.
