From a young age I have struggled with the confines of my physical body. I grew up with a lot of stomach distress, headaches, pain, and many sensitivities to foods. I understand the feeling of being trapped in your own body, unable to move or function for the fear of pain. As a teenager, I traveled the traditional road of western medicine, and started taking an over abundance of medications. I fell into the slippery slope of having just my symptoms treated, rather than looking at an integrated view of how to heal my whole self. With my frustration and anger as my fuel, I started diving into holistic health and researching integrative healing methods which supported the mind-body connection. This is when my life began to change and I embraced a healthier lifestyle. As a result, I became more connected, and gained a deeper relationship with myself. I learned that the body has many faceted levels of healing, and that everything is connected mind, body, and spirit. Holistic healing, nutrition, and empowering my own body's healing capabilities became a huge part of this transformation, and my passion to learn even more continued to grow. I discovered that the human body has an amazing abundance of resilient power, and it amazes me to this day what our physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies are capable of if we put our intentions into fruition.
